Create a cross-functional flowchart :

• Click the FILE tab.
• Click New, click Flowchart, and then double-click Cross Functional Flowchart.
• To label the diagram and swimlanes, click a field that contains placeholder text, and then type the label.
• TIP: To reposition a label, click the Text Block tool, click a label, and then drag it to a new location.
• In the Ribbon, click the Cross-functional Flowchart tab.
• In the Design group, click Rotate Lane Label to CHANGE the orientation of the label text.
• You can make other changes to the design and LAYOUT of the flowchart on this tab.
• To INDICATE phases in your process, in the Insert group, click Separator. To change the label, type while the phase is selected.
• Drag a flowchart shape from the Shapes WINDOW onto a swimlane.
• The swimlane glows with a slight yellow/orange highlight to indicate that it contains the shape. When a shape is contained by a swimlane, it will move with the swimlane if you later decide to rearrange the diagram.
• Add more shapes to create your flowchart by using the AutoConnect mini toolbar or by dragging shapes from the Shapes window and connecting them.
