Global text search not available?

As I expand my use of Lucid in my consulting practice I now am looking for global text search capability.  I see the question was first raised (and answered) by Lucid in 2018.  No progress on developing this feature since then?

Using date data imported from excel for conditional formatting

I want an icon to show up in an org chart based on a date in the data imported from excel. No condition works other than 'is not empty'. For example one of the date value is 'Jan-23'. The raw data is '01/01/2023'. The formatting in excel displays it as 'Jan-23'. That is the same value I see in Lucid Chart. I have tried both values neither one matches the rule.

Links to team subfolders

Hi I'm looking for a way to get a link to a subfolder of a team folder to share with colleagues. The subfolder doesn't need separate access permissions - the colleagues already have access to the parent team folder. I just want a link as an easy way for them to jump to the subfolder from an email or Slack chat. How can I do this?

Trouble Using Roadmap Tempalte

I am new to using Lucidchart and I am having trouble trying to use one of the templates. Just to get me started I would like to rename these rows to the identifier to the side of them. However clicking on the row or directly on the text does not give me the option to change the name. I would also like to remove the "Unassigned" row at the bottom. Is there a way that's easy to remove and add rows in case I need less / more rows in the future?

Connecting Network Switch Stencils Not allowing straight lines

I am trying to put a line between two switch stencils and they wont let me make it a line it wants to change all directions except the one I want the one that makes the most sense so its not overlapping in ways not useful.  https://gifyu.com/image/SmhrB I made a gif showing exactly what is happening. These stencils are straight from Cisco. They work fine in Visio but I cant make the line straight in Lucid...I dislike Visio.

Have subsequent tabs dynamically update with information from primary tab?

Hello I've created a large org chart (150 people) on my first / "primary" tab.   I have then created supporting tabs which drill down into the smaller departments.  When I make an update to my primary tab I was hoping for those updates to carry over onto the supporting tabs.  As it stands currently if I make an update to my main primary tab (150 people) I then need to go to my supporting tab and make the same updates.   I was hoping to just "point" my supporting tab to a specific section of my primary tab and it will grab that detail?

Try to re import an ERD diagramme with with an issue. What is wrong ?

I've created an ERD on LucidChart and exported it for PostgresSQL and tried to use this input to re create in LucidChart the same document with the ERD import but get an error. What is wrong with my input? In fact I'm trying to find out which input I should give to the ERD Import format (but don't get any database to play with).   CREATE TABLE `Salesforce.Account (Account)` (  `Account ID (Id)` id(18)  `Master Record ID (MasterRecordId)` reference(18)  `Record Type ID (RecordTypeId)` reference(18)  `Parent Account ID (ParentId)` reference(18)  `Owner ID (OwnerId)` reference(18)  `Created By ID (CreatedById)` reference(18)  `Last Modified By ID (LastModifiedById)` reference(18)  `D&B Company ID (DandbCompanyId)` reference(18)  `Operating Hour ID (OperatingHoursId)` reference(18)  `Maps Assignment Rule (maps__AssignmentRule__c)` reference(18)  PRIMARY KEY (`Account ID (Id)`)  FOREIGN KEY (`Master Record ID (MasterRecord

Salesforce Integration and Org Chart compatability

As I understand it you can either use an Org Chart component and have the benefit of re-parenting collapsing tiers etc or you can use the Salesforce integration to import contacts and lay them out on a blank canvas. But you can't get the benefit of both? I'd like to import contacts from Salesforce into an Org Chart component - might that be a roadmap item? Thanks for any insight on how people are doing this

Smart Containers - Prevent Wrapping

My tab has 7 smart containers with 6 on the first row and 1 on the bottom row. How do I either move the 7th up to the top row with all the others or move some down from the top row to the bottom to make the visual more symmetrical. Ultimately I want to snip this into a PPT and the current view looks unprofessional.

Architecture design tips using Lucidspark and Lucidchart

Designing and improving architecture requires buy-in from a variety of stakeholders. Whether designing cloud architecture UML diagrams or any other technical system Lucidchart is great for visualizing architecture and creating a shared understanding. But in order to capture all the requirements input and ideas from necessary stakeholders organizations need a more collaborative space.  Lucidspark saves time on tedious back-and-forth communications by providing a central space to capture everyone’s ideas without needing a meeting. By using Lucidspark in conjunction with Lucidchart cross-functional teams can quickly align on the architecture’s current state and plans for improvement.  How to use Lucidchart and Lucidspark to align on architecture improvements: Step 1: Map your current architecture in Lucidchart taking advantage of the comprehensive template and shape libraries. Tip: If starting from scratch begin in Lucidspark to brainstorm and plan architectural requirements fir

How can I set a default folder for new documents?

When opening LucidChart the default view has the entire left pane collapsed and every folder in it also collapsed.  This happens every time I open it and it's frustrating. We use Team Folders so in order for me to create a brand new document from a template I have to use this convoluted flow: Expand left pane Click Templates Click Personal Choose my template Click again to actually use it to create a new doc Edit my doc rename it save it. Go into my personal documents folder and drag it to the Team folder. Confirm I actually want to do what I just attempted to do (permission dialog) Why does this have to be so complicated?
