What is Organization Chart

Organization Chart displays the structure of organization, its departments and work groups.

Project Team Development

ConceptDraw allows to build Organization Chart of any complexity - from a simple scheme of a company structure on a single-page document to a multi-level one on a multi-page document with a detailed description of internal active structures and display of work processes.

Creating Organization Chart on the given data

The third Wizard helps to visually display information in the form of Organization Chart.

As usual, on starting the program dialog Template Gallery will open which will offer you to use the existing templates (otherwise it can be called from menu File). We select category Organization Charts and start Organization Chart Wizard.

Dialog Select Source will appear in which the data source is selected.

In ConceptDraw you can work with two types of data storage: in ODBC-compatible database and text files. On choosing the first type a system dialog will appear to offer you to select data source (DSN) and then the second one, a program dialog this time - to select a table of the chosen database.

If you choose the second type you just need to select the needed text-file on your computer.

Data format used by the Wizard can be seen on the example of text file OrgChartExemple.txt, which is stored in file Libraries\Organization Charts.

OrgChartExample

Further on the Wizard with files of both types and according to the same script. The next dialog displays mandatory elements of information about the Company, which the Wizard tries to recognize: in the database search is done on table fields' names, in a text file - on the first line. If names of headlines do not coincide with dialog fields, they can be corrected with the help of the pop up menus.

Organizational Chart Wizard

Let's move on. In addition to mandatory information, a file or a database can contain any other information. The next dialog allows to select the information type we want to display in 'ustom Properties:

Organization Chart Wizard

Dialog 'ustom properties is called from the shape's context menu.

Custom Properties

And, finally, the program will offer to build up an Organization Chart on one or several pages:

Diagram on printing view

In the first case all diagram elements will be displayed on one page. It's more convenient for both small diagrams and, in some other cases, for instance, if the diagram needs printing out.

diagram on several pages

In case we build a diagram on several pages, then the Head of the Company and his direct subordinates will be displayed, and each department will be shown on a separate page.

And their contents may be seen by double-clicking on them.

Editing document. Libraries

Now the diagram can be edited and made more attractive. As usual, libraries which opened on starting the Wizard will help us with editing.

Library Organization Chart offers a set of various tools for marking positions, links, and headlines.
