How to Draw Context Level DFD?
To create new DFD, select Diagram > New from the toolbar.
In the New Diagram window, select Data Flow Diagram and click Next.
Enter Context as diagram name and click OK to confirm.
We'll now draw the first process. ...
Next, let's create an external entity.
Explanation:
is worth a thousand words. A Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a traditional way to visualize the information flows within a system. A neat and clear DFD can depict a good amount of the system requirements graphically. It can be manual, automated, or a combination of both.
It shows how information enters and leaves the system, what changes the information and where information is stored. The purpose of a DFD is to show the scope and boundaries of a system as a whole. It may be used as a communications tool between a systems analyst and any person who plays a part in the system that acts as the starting point for redesigning a system.
It is usually beginning with a context diagram as level 0 of the DFD diagram, a simple representation of the whole system. To elaborate further from that, we drill down to a level 1 diagram with lower-level functions decomposed from the major functions of the system. This could continue to evolve to become a level 2 diagram when further analysis is required. Progression to levels 3, 4 and so on is possible but anything beyond level 3 is not very common. Please bear in mind that the level of detail for decomposing a particular function depending on the complexity that function.
DFD Diagram Notations
Now we'd like to briefly introduce to you a few diagram notations which you'll see in the tutorial below.
External Entity
An external entity can represent a human, system or subsystem. It is where certain data comes from or goes to. It is external to the system we study, in terms of the business process. For this reason, people used to draw external entities on the edge of a diagram.
notation (external entity)
Process
A process is a business activity or function where the manipulation and transformation of data take place. A process can be decomposed to a finer level of details, for representing how data is being processed within the process.
notation (process)
Data Store
A data store represents the storage of persistent data required and/or produced by the process. Here are some examples of data stores: membership forms, database tables, etc.
notation (data store)
Data Flow
A data flow represents the flow of information, with its direction represented by an arrowhead that shows at the end(s) of flow connector.

What will we do in this tutorial?
In this tutorial, we will show you how to draw a context diagram, along with a level 1 diagram.
