How to create multiple org charts

Create as many org charts as you need in Directory Console > Org Charts, each with its own name, starting people and link.

Written by Greg Bennett

You can create as many org charts as you need, one for each division, region or subsidiary, each with its own name and its own link.


Create an org chart

  1. In the OneDirectory sidebar (your live employee directory), click Directory Console at the bottom, or click Edit in Console in the top bar.

  2. In the Directory Console sidebar, select Org Charts.

  3. Click Add org chart.

  4. Give the chart a name, then search for the person it starts from.

  5. Click Add.

Everyone reporting up through that person is included in the chart.

Note: Creating and editing org charts is limited to Administrators.


Start a chart from more than one person

A chart can start from up to three people, which suits a leadership team, or a division with co-leads and no single head.

Note: There is no limit on how many org charts you can create. The limit of three applies to the number of people a single chart can start from, not to how many charts you can have.

Click the chart to open its panel, then add people to the Starts From field. They appear side by side at the top of the chart, each with their own reporting lines beneath them. Click the × next to a name to remove them.


Each chart has its own link

Every org chart gets a permanent link, shown at the top of the chart's panel and in the Link column, so you can send someone straight to the one they need.

To copy it, open the chart's panel and use the copy icon next to the link, or open the ... menu and choose Copy link to org chart. The same menu has Open org chart to view it.


Show in Directory

Show in Directory controls whether a chart is visible to everyone in the directory. The In Directory column shows the current setting at a glance.

Turn it off for a chart you want to keep but not publish, for example one you are still building. The link still works for anyone you send it to.


How org charts appear to your team

Org charts appear in the OneDirectory sidebar as before. With a single chart, Org Chart opens it directly. With several, it opens a page listing them all.


Delete an org chart

Open the chart's panel, click the ... menu and choose Delete org chart.

Deleting a chart removes that view only. Nobody is removed from your directory. The action cannot be undone.
