OrgChart Guide

OrgChart supports importing both Excel spreadsheets and CSV files.

In order to import a file, the file must contain the following fields:

• PersonID – Unique identifier for each person or position (typically an employee number or ID)
• SupervisorID – Unique identifier for each person’s (or position’s) supervisor
• Name – Employee name
• Title – Employee title
• Department (Recommended but not required) – A person’s department (e.g. Engineering or Marketing)

You can include an unlimited number of additional fields to your data file (for example, location, email address or mobile phone).

OrgChart can automatically format assistants in your charts. You can either use the Assistant Wizard to create rules to format assistants or you can add an 'IsAssistant' field to your data. If you add an 'IsAssistant' field:

• Set the field name to 'IsAssistant'
• Set the value to 0 or 1 (1 indicates the person is an assistant)
