Using the Org Chart

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to Configure Org Chart settings using Org Chart Configuration.

Org chart configuration

The Org Chart provides an interactive view of the organizational hierarchy and reporting relationships, including matrix managers, for your users. This view allows users to open multiple teams with dynamic horizontal or vertical layouts.

After the Org Chart is enabled, you can configure Org Chart settings by using the tool Org Chart Configuration. Here you can control basic org chart features, including whether photos are displayed.

Configuration Requirements

To enable the latest Org Chart go to the Upgrade Center and search for the item New Experience for the Company Org Chart under Optional Upgrades.

If you have enabled the legacy Org Chart previously, the latest Org Chart is enabled by default. To opt out, you have the following options:

  • The system administrator can disable the latest Org Chart for the instance by deselecting the Enable the latest Org Chart option in Admin Center Company System and Logo Settings.
  • Users can switch back to the legacy Org Chart by turning off the new experience in their account navigation menu on the page header under Settings New Experiences.
