Audience: Administrators

Overview

The Chart Management panel allows Administrators to create, rename, and delete Master Charts, as well as select Chart Documents to load into Viewer.

A Master Chart is directly linked to a data source, and is typically set to automatically synchronize with source data.

Chart Document is a customized OrgChart that is created in Workbench mode. Chart Documents should only be used in the following cases:

  • The desired org chart is not (or only partially) based on source HR data (e.g., Project Team that is not based on the hierarchy stored in the source system).

  • The presentation of the org chart is highly customized and cannot be easily driven using conditional formats. Reference the Rule-Driven Charting article for more information on driving chart presentation with conditional formatting.

Note

Master Charts should be used whenever possible, as they are easier to maintain over time.
