11、Manage- ment - Flowchart Symbols and Their Use in Micro- graphics, ANSIfAIIM MS4-1987.) This standard has been reviewed and revised by the Computer Information Interfaces, C5 Committee of AIIM. This standards committee is the successor to the Flowchart Symbols standards committee that originally pre

12、pared this standard. At the time of this review the standard was, in addition, reformatted to conform to the current style manual. The objective of the original Flowchart Symbols standards committee was a two-phase program: one to prepare a written industry standard, and two to produce a flowchart t

13、emplate for use in preparing systems diagrams, flowcharts, and process charts. The purpose of this standard is to establish sym- bols, symbolic language, and recommended flow- chart procedures to improve communications among users and manufacturers of micrographics tech- nology. Compatibility with t

14、he American National Stan- dard for Flowchart Symbols and their Usage in In- formation Processing, X3.5-I970 was of paramount consideration in the preparation of the original stan- dard ANSUAIIM MS4-1972. New symbols, uses, and recommendations were made only where con- sidered essential for better c

15、ommunication. As a result, the ANSI symbols with recommended flow- chart procedures and ANSIIAIIM flowchart stand- ard counterparts complement each other in depicting information systems flow. Suggestions for improvement of this standard are welcome and should be sent to the Chairman, AIIM Standards

16、 Board, Association for Information and Image Management, 1100 Wayne Avenue, Silver Spring, Maryland 20910.

20、rmation process- ing. These standards are defined in American Na- tional Standard for Flowchart Symbols and Their Usage in Information Processing, ANSI X3.5-1970. ANSI/AIIM MS4-1987 specifies symbols for microfilm operations and symbolic language for labeling these symbols in order to delineate spec

21、ific operations, functions and features. This standard presents guidelines and recom- mendations for flowchart management systems (ievel 1) and operational systems (level 2). The annotations covered in this standard are those generally required for detailing to second level flowcharts. It is not pra

22、c- tical to include all possible annotations that may be necessary for greater detail. Where measurements are included in this stan- dard, they are expressed in the metric system, 2.

Symbols for Representing Microfilm Op- erations 4.1 Levels of Flowcharts and Systems Design. The re- quirements for flowcharting micrographics systems ge

29、nerally can depict three distinct levels of detail. 4.1.1 Management systems. Here the designer is concerned only with broad picture - one which de- scribes the process flow - level l. 4.1.2 Operational systems. The process flow is looked at in greater depth, resulting in a systems flow which has gr

30、eater detail, more than the management level would likely be interested in - level 2. 4.1.3 In-depth operational systems flow. The operational systems flow at the third level goes into greater detail and normally would be of interest only to those who specialize in a specific section of the system d

31、epicted in an operational systems flowchart - level 3. This standard presents guidelines and recom- mendations for creating flowcharts at level 1, management systems, and level 2, operational systems. Symbolic notations and their sequencing are established through level 2 in this standard. Where all

32、 options for annotations within each symbol are not utilized, space need not be allocated. Due to the number of variables inherent in the many sections of a detailed systems flow, it is neither practical to establish standard notations nor to in- clude illustrations for all possible conditions withi

33、n level 3. 4.2 Basic Microfilm Symbols. The four microform symbols (see Figures 1-4), when used in conjunction with other ANSI symbols, are sufficient to depict the flow for a microfilm oriented system. Due to the fre- quent use of the established ANSI Storage and Re- trieval Symbols (see Figure 5)

34、within flowcharts of micrographics systems, the symbols are specifically stated in Sections 4.2.1 to 4.2.5. 1 AIIM MS4 87 W LOL234B O000365 7 I 4.2.1 All microforms. r-l Dimensional Ratio Width: Height = 1:l Figure 1.
