![]() Press the F4 key to create as many additional branches as you need.Ĭonnect the end points of the branches to the appropriate activity boxes. With the connector selected, hold down the CTRL key and drag a copy of the connector to the place where you want the first branch. When the begin point turns red, the shapes are connected.ĭrag the arrow until the connector bends the way you want. Repeat steps 1 to 3 until you have as many forks as you need.ĭrag an IDEF0 connector onto the drawing page, and then drag the begin point to a connection point on an activity box. ![]() Place the arrowhead of the second connector directly on top of the arrowhead of the first connector, so that the two arrows appear joined together.ĭrag a second IDEF0 connector onto the page and align its begin point with the begin point of the first connector.ĭrag the end point up or down until the arrows fork the way you want. When the endpoints turn red, the shapes are connected.ĭrag a second IDEF0 connector onto the page and drag its begin point to a connection point on another activity box. Use the IDEF0 connector shape to:įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag an IDEF0 connector onto the drawing page, and then drag its endpoints to connection points on activity boxes. The sub-diagram ID can be a node number, such as A42, or the page number or name of the child diagram.Ĭontinue dragging, naming, and numbering activity boxes until you've placed between three and six boxes in the title block.Īdd constraint arrows and modify them the way you want. The sub-diagram ID (also known as a Detail Reference Expression, or DRE) is the number of this activity box's child diagram, if it will have one. ![]() Type the Process ID (a number between 1 and 6) and a Sub-diagram ID. (The name should be an active verb or verb phrase.) In the Shape Data dialog box, type a name for the process the box represents. You can also type a title and number.Īdd an activity box (also known as a function box) to the diagram.įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag an Activity box shape into the title block. In the Shape Data dialog box, type a node name, such as A0 (for the top-most parent diagram), or type the node number of the parent function box (for example, A3 or A112) if this parent diagram is also a child diagram. In Visio 2007: On the File menu, point to New, point to Flowchart, and then click IDEF0 Diagram.įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag the Title block shape onto the drawing page. With the shape selected, type text to describe the viewpoint and purpose of the model you're creating. To add text that describes the connector, select the connector, and then type.įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag a Text block 8pt shape onto the drawing page inside the title block.ĭrag the side selection handle to stretch the text block across the width of the title block. For Sub-diagram ID, enter the ID of the decomposition diagram, if this process is a decomposition.Īdd external interface (or constraint) arrows.įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag 1 legged connector shapes onto the drawing page and drag their endpoints to connection points on activity boxes. For Process ID, use the default, A0, to represent the top-level process. In the Shape Data dialog box, type a name for the process. Select the distance you want the title block border offset from the outside edge of the page, and then click OK.Īdd activity boxes (also known as a function boxes) to the diagram.įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag an Activity box shape inside of the title block. You can also type a title and number for the diagram. In the Shape Data dialog box, type a node name, such as A-0 (A minus zero), or a more complete name, such as QA/A-0, where QA is an abbreviation for the model name. In Office Visio 2007: On the File menu, point to New, point to Flowchart, and then click IDEF0 Diagram.Īdd a title block to provide a node name, title, and number for the diagram.įrom IDEF0 Diagram Shapes, drag a Title block shape onto the drawing page. In Visio 2010: Under Template Categories, click Flowchart > IDEF0 Diagram > Create. In Visio 2013 and newer versions: Click the Flowcharts category, select IDEF0 Diagram and then click Create. Node trees-Tree-like structures of nodes rooted at a chosen node and used to represent a full IDEF0 decomposition in a single diagram. Parent/child diagram-An IDEF0 decomposition hierarchy using parent/child relationships. IDEF0 diagrams typically include the following components:Ĭontext diagram-The topmost diagram in an IDEF0 model. IDEF0 stands for Integration Definition for Process Modelling, a public-domain methodology used to model businesses and their processes so they can be understood and improved.
