I cannot see my team members yet I can invite team members.

Hi I am in a team called NeSI and I can invite people to the team but I cannot seem to see who is currently in the team. I have an invite field at the top but don't have the 'Team' menu at the top. Is there any way to find out who else is in the team and what my permission levels are in the team? Thanks Jun NeSI

changes in charts between paid & unpaid time periods

I am trying to anticipate changes to my work that will happen if I change my subscription status. I have a personal  interest in using diagrams and I am able to satisfy my needs with unpaid status. However I am considering using LucidChart for a work related project. I will need to pay for some features I want to use. If in a couple of months I revert to my unpaid status do the features of the chart change. For example do hyperlinks disappear or become inactive. The answer will probably not affect my choice to proceed. I would just like to know what to expect. Thank you.

confluence plugin (enterprise account) with ghostery active doesn't work

Hi If I leave ghostery (tracker protection) then lucidchart is all but unusable as it continually asks me to login.  Ghostery is blocking the Google Tag Manager (whatever that is) Google and Kismet Analytics and Google+ platform.  None of those have anything to do with Lucidchart nor Confluence why do they stop lucidchart from working correctly. Also as we have an enterprise account what are you doing tracking us?   regards   Chris Allison

Interactive chart

Hi there I need to create a seating map for each floor of my work place to include a note detailing what equipment each person has at their desk.  This will be passed to my boss once completed but will she need Lucid Chart in order to view the map?  Will it not open anywhere else for her to click each seat on the map to see what devices they have at their desks? Thanks Ayse

CSV format for composite keys and list of constraint types for Lucidchart ERD

How do you identify composite key relationships when creating an ERD by importing CSV files? If this isn't possible using an import how do you create the relationship manually?   Also what are the acceptable values I can list as the CONSTRAINT_TYPE?

Large Org Chart with many departments and employees

My thought is to break this org chart up by Departments but even some of those might be too large for a page. I would also like to show various hierarchy levels in different layers (i.e. Board Top Management Middle Management etc. and also do a breakdown by department.  What is the best way to do this?

Create sub swimlanes in Lucidchart

Hello I am trying to group swim lanes - for examples I am doing a swim lane diagram for the development of educational sessions. I have three types of committee members that participate two types of staff and two types of content providers. I would like to group these into three swim lanes with sub lanes for each. I added a text box at the left of the groupings to show the high level grouping - e.g. Committee - but it looks clunky. Is there a cleaner way of doing this? Alternatively maybe I can split up one swim lane with additional lines.  Any advice is welcome.  Thanks.

Linking Image and PDF to Box in Org Chart

I created an Org chart for my company and I would like to add a document and the employee's photo to each individual box. Ideally I would like to hover over the box and the employee's photo and job description would show. I also tried the layers but when explaining to others it became very confusing. Currently I have two hot spots on one box one for the employee's image and the other for their job description. This can be confusing for some people. I also tried adding the image as a comment but the link shows up instead. Or is it possible to add an image to a note? Is there a way to make it one hot spot with both items (the photo and the job description)? Or is there a way to link a photo and a document while simply hovering over the box with the employee's name? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

Remove Whitespace surrounding diagram on page or move all objects in Lucidchart

I have unintentionally ended up with a network diagram that is centered with large whitespaces on all 4 aspects.  The units gear in the lower left also shows a scale of "ft / 3in = 16 ft" which seems odd or possibly part of problem since is a virtual not a physical layout.  I can select and lock all of the objects but then I'm unable to move them.  Selecting all and doing Alight --> left stacks objects in left center so it's possible I have margin set that I don't understand.  Screen shot of upper left quadrant below. Q:  How to remove whitespace or re-align all to upper left without dragging each object? Thank you.

Smart Draw to Lucid Chart

We have some old diagrams that were created with SmartDraw (www.SmartDraw.com).  Is there a way to import them in to our Lucid Chart account so all our diagrams are in Lucid Chart?  I know you can import from Visio so I hope there is a way to do this for SmartDraw as well.   Thanks!

Can't resize wireframing UI select box vertical size in Lucidchart

I am trying to change the size of a UI select box in a wireframe. (I need to be able to show multiple select boxes in the "Select Destination" column) I suspect you have disabled the editing of select boxes so the arrow won't resize. How am I supposed to include a pile of select boxes to show the field mapping? (Ideally I could just enter a select box automatically within your Table/Data Grid but I seem to be limited to check boxes and radio buttons) What can I do? I have a 20+ page wireframe document in LucidChart that is getting more and more fiddly to edit. Do I need to abandon and go back to Illustrator?
