How do you create a process flow diagram?

I want to create a front panel for a simple process that I'm going to use LabView to monitor and push set-points to the controls. I want to end up with something similar to what you would see in a central control for a plant, just on a much smaller scale. I want to monitor tank level, tank temperature, whether a pump is on or off, etc. I've attached a crude example of what I'm hoping to make. Thanks in advance.

You can create this on the front panel using decorations and controls that you customize. 

 

Here is a link to get you started.   https://decibel.ni.com/content/groups/ui/blog/2010/04/29/creating-quality-uis-with-ni-labview--devel...

 

There are quite a few links for UI's on the website.

Thanks Mark, I'll poke around there.

By the way, based on your JPG, it looks like you could use two number "sliders" for the tank levels.  If the valve in the middle doesn't change it could be just a graphic.  If it has two states you could use Boolean, replace the two states with the graphics you want.
