    Common Flowchart Symbols

    The process symbol represents a process, action, or function. Its the most
    widely-used symbol in flowcharting.
    The document symbol represents the input or output of a document.
    Examples of input are receiving a report, email, or order. Examples of output
    are generating a presentation, memo, or letter.
    The decision symbol indicates a question to be answeredusually yes/no or
    true/false. The flowchart path may splinter into different branches depending on
    the answer.
    The connector symbol connects separate elements across one page. Its
    usually used within complex charts.
    The off-page connector (also known as the off-page link) symbol connects
    separate elements across multiple pages. It is frequently used within complex
    charts. The page number is sometimes placed on the shape for easy reference.
    The data symbol (also called the input/output symbol) represents data that is
    available for input or output. It may also represent resources used or
    generated. The paper tape symbol also represents input/output, but is outdated and
    no longer in common usage. Another symbol used to represent data is the circle
    shape.
    The comment symbol, or note symbol, adds needed explanation or
    comment. It may be connected by a dashed line to the relevant section of the
    flowchart.
