New OrgPlus 7 Feature Highlights

Microsoft Vista and Office 2007 Compatibility
OrgPlus 7 is the first organizational charting software fully compatible with Microsoft's latest operating system, Vista, and Microsoft Office 2007. In fact, OrgPlus 7 has earned the Certified for Windows Vista logo, which is a compatibility designation only for applications that have passed a rigorous testing program performed by Microsoft. Ensuring that your software investments remain compatible with your current and future technology environments is extremely important.

Enhanced HTML Publishing
OrgPlus 7 HTML publishing has been significantly improved. Now with more sophisticated toolbars and panels, sharing your organization charts on the web is easier than ever. HTML publishing includes better printing quality and even optionally allows users to download an OrgPlus project file directly from any HTML page.

Automatic E-mail Distribution
Define email distribution groups and OrgPlus 7 will automatically send your up-to-date org charts to a designated list of recipients on a scheduled basis or at the push of a button. Define different distribution lists per org chart file and keep everyone up to date on the latest organization structure additions, changes and open positions.

Composite Profiles
Combine multiple profile views into a single, multi-tab profile view to provide detailed information about any box. You can also conditionally show or hide any individual profile tabs based on the selected box. For example, show benefits detail only for permanent employees.

Enhanced Chart Printing
We understand the importance of bringing a great looking picture of your organization to a planning meeting or to your boss. OrgPlus 7 printing is better than ever! You now have more control over how master page elements are scaled when printing charts. Make logos and titles the perfect size no matter how much your chart is scaled up or down to fit on a page.

Improved Templates and Sample Charts
In addition to many great looking sample charts and templates included in previous versions, OrgPlus 7 is now loaded with ready-to-use charts including key business and HR metrics. Use any one of the many useful management reports included in OrgPlus 7 to turn your HR data into workforce intelligence. Sample charts include: financial summary, headcount report by department, succession plan, gender ratio, span of control and many more.

Off-page References
You can now include hyperlinks in your chart that allow you to navigate from any box to another box, sub-chart, chart tab or even to an entirely separate OrgPlus project file.

Sub-chart Arrow Labels
You can label sub-chart arrows with names or numbers to make navigation easier and improve the value of printed and published charts.


Improved Conditional Formats
With OrgPlus 7 you can define conditional formatting at a more granular level. For example, you can base the box border style on one condition and the border color on another condition.

Automatic Legends
OrgPlus 7 can now automatically create legends from any sub-set of defined conditional formats.

Improved Picture Formatting
OrgPlus 7 gives you more control over picture scaling and even allows you to add borders and shadows to pictures in chart boxes.








Rulers and Grids
You can turn on the rulers and grid display to more accurately place free-floating objects such as pictures, shapes, and text in your chart. Rulers allow you to more accurately position chart elements for printed output especially to large format printers and plotters.

Improved Orphan Handling
OrgPlus 7 makes handling orphan records (records that have no or missing reporting relationship), easier than ever. Simply drag your orphan records into the chart and OrgPlus maintains their positioning.

Enhanced Groups
OrgPlus 7 now supports creating groups based off of formula calculations. For example, create a group of all managers with 5 or more direct subordinates.

Improved Formatting for Number Fields
You now have greater control over the formatting of number fields with the ability to specify any number of leading zeros.

Word Wrap Enhancements
OrgPlus now gives you more control over text wrapping and truncation.

Shared Conditions
Define conditions once and use them in conditional formats, chart rules, groups and profiles.

Group Peers
You can group peers automatically during data import. For example, peers can be grouped by title, job code or location.

Add Comments
Annotate your org charts with comments. Just like in Microsoft Word, use the OrgPlus 7 "Insert comment" command and add notes that relate to a box, branch or your entire chart. Share your charts with comments freely using OrgPlus Reader.


Tree Panel
Using the new tree panel controls in OrgPlus 7 is the fastest and easiest way to change your organizational structure or edit chart data. Quickly add, delete and edit records without navigating a sometimes cumbersome org chart. Promote and demote records with ease. The combination of a holistic view of your organization and simple drag-and-drop controls in the tree view make OrgPlus ideal for cross departmental reorganization or any sort of mass change, including mergers or acquisitions.

More Powerful Profiles
OrgPlus 7 profile views support field editing and chart navigation - use the profile views to easily change positions in the chart and update the chart information. Conditional formatting in profile views allow you to dynamically format your data to bring attention to certain employee information. For example, automatically highlight information in the employee's to identify top performers.







Improved Duplicate Reporting Management
Having the ability to visualize alternate (matrix or dotted-line) reporting relationships is critically important when looking at your true organizational structure. OrgPlus 7 will automatically detect alternate managers and include them as a list in the box of an employee with multiple managers. Also, navigate directly to a specific occurrence of an employee that appears multiple times in a chart.


Improved Hotspots
OrgPlus 7 improves hotspot interaction. You can edit the data directly in a hotspot. You can also configure a hotspot for an entire box or for just a field in the box.
