Chapter 4 Documenting Information Systems 1. The start/stop symbol can also be used by external entity.

TRUE If we had an enterprise systems, the context diagram and the logical DFD would change, unless there were changes to the business processes. FALSE Including columns for external entities is mandatory. FALSE The only way to get data into and out of a computer data storage is through a computer-processing rectangle. TRUE We usually start a flowchart in the top-left corner with a start symbol. TRUE It is also referred to as process flowcharts a. Operations Flowchart b. Systems Flowchart c. Context Flowchart d. Data Flowchart The following are examples of information process; a. Inputs b. Data Processing c. Data Storage d. All of the Above A rectangle in the systems flowchart represents: a.
