Managing Complex Procedures
Many organizations struggle to deal with a world of increasingly complex procedures. Standard text documents offer poor support for “if/then” branches. And while flowcharts are a great mechanism to capture complex logic, many workers struggle to follow them. Flowtocol provides a better way to manage this complexity.
The Flowtocol tool set is built on top of Microsoft Excel, version 2016 or higher. You create or modify Flowtocol procedures with the Flow Writer add in. Simply type in the instructions and outcomes for each step. The app will automatically construct a visual flowchart as you go. Above all, making changes is easy. You can insert new steps, copy or move entire branches, and even redirect the outcomes to different steps.
All of the information is contained within an Excel spreadsheet, allowing you to share and protect the information as you wish. Your data is the property of your organization. Therefore we do not require you to store anything in the cloud.
You have several options to share Flowtocol procedures with your colleagues:
∩Flowchart
Firstly, create a printable PDF flowchart. Post it on a website or embed it within a document. Flowcharts are a great way to develop a Flowtocol procedure with your colleagues.
Web Page
Another option is to build an interactive web page that steps users through the procedure step-by-step. Post the web page on your public website or company intranet, or simply email it to colleagues.
Spreadsheet
Or finally, run the procedures right within Excel using our free Flow Reader add in. Your workbooks record all user input, promoting collaborative workflow and compliance documentation.
