To create a Services Resource Flow Description diagram:
- Click on Services Resource Flow Description in the Action Artifact area, and then select Create New Diagram.

- A blank diagram is created and you can start constructing the view. Reuse resource types (ResourceArchitecture / System / CapabilityConfiguration / Organization / Person / Post / Responsibility / Project / NaturalResource / ResourceArtifact / Software / Technology) (recommended) through dragging and dropping them from the Model Explorer. Resource types are defined in SvcV-1.
- Create ResourceConnectors between ResourceRoles. If ResourceRoles weren’t yet defined in SvcV-1, you can create them in this view.
