How to create a Decision Flow Diagram
To create a decision flow diagram, follow these steps:
01.
Define your starting point
Identify where your process or decision flow begins.
02.
Identify decision points
Determine where choices need to be made and what options are available.
03.
Map outcomes
For each decision, define what happens next — additional steps, endpoints, or further decisions.
04.
Create flow structure
Use shapes to represent different elements (ovals for start/end, diamonds for decisions, rectangles for actions).
05.
Connect with arrows
Draw directional arrows showing how the process flows from one step to another.
06.
Label clearly
Add concise labels to each node and arrow so anyone can follow the logic.
07.
Test the flow
Walk through various scenarios to ensure all paths lead to logical outcomes.
08.
Review & refine
Share with stakeholders to validate accuracy and make improvements before finalizing.

Captive Portal Authentication Flow
A network flow diagram for captive portal authentication in an educational institution — showing how student devices move through 802.1X/RADIUS authentication, dynamic VLAN assignment, and captive portal fallback.
