Venn Diagram Maker - ClickCharts Diagram Software

Venn Diagram Maker - How to Create Venn Diagrams with ClickCharts Diagram and Chart Software



Easy Venn Diagram Maker

ClickCharts diagram and chart creation software is a useful tool for creating process flowcharts, diagrams, swimlane flowcharts, mindmaps, workflow charts, and data flowcharts. Now, you can also quickly and easily create Venn diagrams with ClickCharts.



How To Create a Venn Diagram with ClickCharts

1) Choose the Venn Diagram Template

To begin creating a Venn diagram in ClickCharts, open the program and select the "Create New" option from the ClickCharts welcome dialogue. This will open an options menu where you can select a chart or diagram template. Click on the Venn Diagram option to open a new Venn diagram template. 


















If you do not want to use a template, you can also easily create your own Venn Diagram from scratch using the symbols and tools provided with ClickCharts.

2) Edit the Venn Diagram Design

You can edit the diagram fill, outlines, fonts, and font sizes in click charts by right-clicking on one of the Venn diagram circles and selecting "Properties". 


3) Add or Remove Comparison Items

If you would like to compare only two items in your Venn diagram, you can easily delete the third circle from the process chart. Click on the third circle, "Process C", to select it. To delete Process C, select "Delete" from the "Edit" tab in the top bar menu, or right-click and select "Delete" from the right-click menu. You can also select additional text items and delete them by using the Delete button from the "Edit" menu, or the "Delete" option from the right-click menu. 


4) Populate the Venn Diagram

The final step is to populate the Venn diagram. To do this, simply click on any text area to edit. You can also add new text areas by clicking on the "Text" button in the top bar menu, and then clicking where you would like to add text.

Create Blank Venn Diagram Templates and Printables


Parents and teachers can benefit from creating and printing their own Venn diagram templates as worksheets for projects and essays. To create an easy to print Venn diagram template for a specific project, click on the "Add Text" button in the program's top menu bar. Click where you would like to add text and type in titles for the processes that you would like to compare. 

To remove the color from the Venn diagram in order to print black and white Venn diagram templates, right-click on each of the Venn diagram circles and select "Properties" from the right-click menu. In the "Fill" tab, select the "No Fill" checkbox, and from the "Line" tab, select black as a solid line color.

How to Create Flowcharts to Improve Business Meetings

Make Your Meetings/Discussions More Effective by Using Flow Chart Diagrams

Using ClickCharts for Business by NCH Software

Meshing business processes with the nature of human interaction is an inherently difficult process and is a daunting task for any growing business. Meetings where nothing gets done or no resolution/actionable items result in the bane of owners, team leaders, and HR departments everywhere.

Taking the time to map out how those meetings should occur and how to refine the ideas that come from them into solutions will reduce frustrations and increase productivity; this is where flowchart software can help your business.

Here is an example of how a group works to create action points below:



First, let's go over the three types of shapes in this example and what they mean:

Rounded Rectangle = Start/Stop block
The only rounded rectangle in this example is at the top (Discussion) where we start with a discussion about how to handle a specific business goal or problem.

Rectangle = Action/Process
Rectangles represent a specific action or a part of the overall process - the (Proposal) rectangle immediately following the (Discussion) rounded rectangle means that after the initial discussion, the action of making a proposal is taken.

Diamond/Rhombus = Decision
Diamonds indicate that a choice must be made - the lines coming out of a diamond block represent the various decisions that can be made. The one diamond block in the chart (Test for Consensus) means that once a proposal is made, the group must decide if they agree or not.

Of course, there are many different symbols for different purposes, but these will do for now. For information on other standard shapes, visit the Wikipedia page here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowchart#Common_Shapes

Now, let's review the potential paths the chart shows once the decision (Test for Consensus) is made

Decision (Test for Consensus)
  1. If Yes, then action (Consensus Achieved), then end (Action Points)
  2. If No, then action (Concerns Raised), one of 4 actions are taken after. Repeat the process until reaching an end block.
    1. Go back to start (Discussion)
    2. Action (Modification of Proposal), then back to the decision (Test for Consensus)
    3. Action (Stand Aside), then action (Consensus Achieved), then end (Action Points).
    4. End (Block).
You can use the chart above as a base for your own processor to start from scratch!

Things to consider when creating your own flowchart.
  • These are guidelines, not set rules. Remember, these are people, not computers.
  • Make it right for your business and the team. The flowchart should address if individual members have subprocesses or if non-team members/environmental factors have an influence.
  • Use the diagramming process to identify bottlenecks in the company - inevitably, as one thinks about the process as a whole and mentally maps everything out, the realization that there are points in the process that have been neglected will become apparent. Taking the time to chart these things may allow your company to undergo changes for the better.

To start making your own flowcharts, try ClickCharts, our simple but dynamic flowchart, mapping, and diagramming software program.
