Hi @Hot Rod, 

Thank you for your post! To clarify, are you wanting to connect shapes with lines from data? What kind of diagram are you looking to create? 

I have a similar request to visualize an account hierarchy using linked data. Each row has an Id and a ParentId field. It would be great to dynamically draw lines between the shapes based on a match of ParentId to Id.

Hi @Brian C102, 

Thanks for the follow up! I think that you could achieve this through our Org Chart function. In our Org Chart Data Import, one of the identifiers Lucid asks for to construct your Org Chart is the supervisor ID. If you created a spreadsheet or Google Sheet with three rows: ID, Name, and Parent ID, the org chart will draw relationships between the ID and the connecting Parent ID. Does this help achieve your goal?

Yes, I took a second look at the Org Chart; and,  got it to work!  Thank you for the suggestion.

Importantly, the cards do not have to display a photo (which is a required field in Org Chart template.) Being able to remove the image attribute from the style makes this chart what I am looking for.

Hi @Brian C102, 

Glad you were able to get it to work! As for the photo section in the cards, you can easily remove this by clicking on the Org Chart to open the Contextual Panel and then going to Shape style. In this section you can find Shape styles without the image sections to fit your needs!
