The process used to design these diagrams is described here: workflow mapping procedures.
The style guide used for these diagrams can be downloaded here (in Visio format) and is filled on the G drive under G:\Acquisitions & Discovery\Department Administration\Workflows\Workflow Style Guide_FINAL.vsd
