Bowtie Diagram Excel Template Features:

The Bowtie Diagram Excel Template is basically a one-sheet with different buttons that you can use to get the desired outcome:

• The Input Section: This consists of categories, titles, related to, and notes.
• Output Section: This consists of draw charts, export charts, and clear charts.
• Notes and Settings: The yellow notes can also be hidden or shown. Also you can change the settings too.

Input Section:

Firstly, you must define risks in the input table of the Bowtie Diagram Excel Template, then list all your preventative and recovery actions. To clarify, if you leave the “Related To” column blank, all actions will be directly associated with the “Risk Event”. You can then select from the dropdown menu the “Dependency” option if you wish to specify a specific relationship.

Draw Chart Section and Changing Colors:

Secondly, the bowtie will be ready after you fill out the input table by clicking the “Draw Chart” button. In addition, if you leave the color options blank, the chart will follow the same color scheme as the chart headers.

Also, you can change the colors in the chart headers, or by updating the settings. Then, simply you can redefine and change all the defined colors yourself.

Print Area and Save PDF File Section:

In addition to the input table, the Print Area of the chart is already set on the entire template. To print or save the Bowtie Diagram Excel Template, just go to File > Print. However, if you want to print only the chart, click the “Export Chart” button first, and Windows will do everything for you if you are using Windows.

Moreover, you would need to go to File and then save it as a PDF if you are a Mac user. If you click the button to rearrange the print area, then you can click the button.

Clear Data Section of Bowtie Diagram Excel Template:

Lastly, the clear button will allow you to have a fresh start by clearing the old chart and input table. Once you created the chart, then you can manually move or rearrange the boxes. However, remember that when you click the draw chart again, the boxes will go back to their original positions.
