1. Import virtually any data

OrgPlus simplifies the process of inputting data into an organizational chart from almost any data source including flat files, Excel, ODBC, SQL Server, LDAP and Active Directory. We also have adapters specifically designed for PeopleSoft, Oracle, Kronos and SAP.

2. Break charts into manageable sub-charts

Make large charts more understandable and manageable by sub-charting them either during import or from within the application - sub-chart by level or by specific individual. All sub-charts are contained within the same file for easy navigation.

The chart shown on the left contains 500 employees. They were all imported into one chart. As you can see it is difficult to read and even more difficult to manage. Using the Insert Sub-chart feature, we break the chart at level 2 and 4. The result is a manageable chart with down arrows allowing you to navigate to sub-charts.

3. Refresh charts based on current data from your data source

You can either manually or automatically update charts with changes to your data source.
The OrgPlus Scheduler enables you to view and manage a list of pre-defined chart configurations and published charts and schedule them to update on a timetable determined by the administrator. This allows you to create predefined charts and have them update daily, weekly or monthly through a batch process, automating the entire process of communicating organizational information.

4. Apply predefined templates or create a design of your own

Enhance charts by using one of OrgPlus's predefined templates or create one of your own design, box or branch templates—giving you complete control over the look and feel of your charts. Simply drag the template from the template window to your chart to update the look.

5. Create multiple customized chart views to present employee data differently

OrgPlus introduces the concept of a project, which can contain multiple charts - similar to a Microsoft Excel workbook and worksheet concept. Each chart within a project can show a unique view that displays different data fields, contains different formatting, and may even contain a different hierarchy. For example, in an organization that utilizes matrix reporting, each chart within a project may contain a different project team with its own unique hierarchy.

6. Show chart data in multiple views

Use the Directory View to create a corporate directory that can be published along with the organizational chart to your company intranet. Use the Profile View to show extended information about employees without cluttering the organizational chart view Use the Tree View to centralize all the controls you need to create basic organizational charts into one easy-to-use panel. view.

7. Automatically format charts based on the data they contain

Use Conditional Formatting to create customized views that help you better understand your organization. For example, quickly identify new employees in the company by setting up a rule to border all contract employees' boxes in blue. Use it to visually identify other important employee characteristics (e.g., retiring employees or employees due for a performance review).

8. Publish to the Web or corporate portal

Posting your charts directly to your intranet (web or shared network) is as simple as the click of a button. This helps to reduce the involvement of your IT department. Once posted to the intranet, your chart becomes a company-wide information source for organizational charts and directories that connects every employee.

Avoid scrambling for the next board or planning meeting by having an up-to-date organizational chart presentation or booklet always available.
