All of the following are recommended guidelines for making flowcharts more readable, clear, concise, consistent, and understandable EXCEPT:

a. Divide a document flowchart into columns with labels.

b. Flowchart all data flows, especially exception procedures and error routines.

c. Design the flowchart so that flow  proceeds from top to bottom and from left to right.

d. Show the final disposition of all documents to prevent loose ends that leave the reader dangling.
