You can add images to represent processes in a process flow map. You can also use colors to represent specific substances and substance categories that are included in process flow maps. For example, you add an image of a light bulb to the process that represents your electricity utility. Additionally, you use the color yellow to represent the electricity as it travels to the different processes in your organization.

The following procedures explain how to add images to represent a process, and how to select a color to represent a substance or substance category in process flow maps.
