Ablaufvisualisierung

English translation: process (flow) visualisation

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Ablaufvisualisierung
English translation:process (flow) visualisation
Entered by: Rowan Morrell

German to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - IT (Information Technology) / Multimedia Application
German term or phrase: Ablaufvisualisierung
"Ablaufvisualisierung - Prozessabläufe, animiert oder statisch, z.b. Produktionsabläufe oder Bedienungsanleitungen, usw."

Describing some kind of multimedia application that a company offers. Is "Ablaufvisualisierung" just some kind of fancy-dan word for "flow chart"? Prozessablauf can be process flow, and Produktionsablauf production flow. Or is it a more literal "process visualisation"? TIA for your help.

process visualisation
Explanation:
"Flow chart" is just one type of visualising process flows, and intrinsically a static one. But as it could be animated visualisations using special software, I would for the general term of "process visualisation".

I guess it's possible that this involves more than JUST flow charts, in which case the more literal and more generic "process visualisation" probably fits best. Thanks Friedrich (or Tom if you prefer), but I also appreciate the others' contributions in the form of either suggestions or peer grades. Cheers everyone. :-)
