List of Operators
Terminator- Use this shape for the first and last step of your process.

Predefined process- Use this shape for a set of steps that combine to create a sub-process
that is defined elsewhere, often on another page of the same drawing.
Decision- This shape indicates a point where the outcome of a decision dictates the next
step. There can be multiple outcomes, but often there are just two —yes and no.

leaving the process. This shape can also be used to represent materials and is sometimes
called an Input/Output shape.
