📈 Lucid expert tip: Build a live headcount and vacancy tracker using org charts

Keeping track of open roles across a growing company can be a moving target. This video shows you how to combine org charts with dynamic shapes to create a live dashboard that counts filled versus vacant positions automatically.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to use the descendants of page formula to capture data across your entire organizational hierarchy.
  • How to write count if formulas to dynamically filter and total roles based on their status.
  • How to visualize your headcount data using a dynamic donut shape that updates in real-time.
  • How to pair your visual charts with interpolated text to display clear, numerical summaries of your organization's growth.

 

⚙️ A note on the UI

This video was produced around 2024. While the Lucid interface has been updated since then, the formula logic and dynamic shape functionality remain a powerful way to manage your data.
