How do I create an org chart with sub departments in Lucid?

Hi ​@jestes 

For large org charts, achieving a Focus on segment effect can be accomplished through different methods depending on your account type. If you have an Enterprise account, Group View offers a clean and automated approach.

As a second choice, for non-Enterprise accounts, layering with hotspots provides a practical workaround to simulate sub-views within a single file. While a fully automated solution is not currently available, these methods provide effective ways to manage complex org charts.

Hi ​@Humas1985 ,

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately the group view isn’t going to work as the department wants the look to remain an org chart and not a set of boxes with everyone’s name in it. Does the layering work with the master page option? So that I can show the layer on separate pages instead of the whole chart?

HI ​@jestes 

There are a few key limitations to consider when using this method. Firstly, it requires manual management, meaning that any changes to employee details must be updated individually across each relevant layer or page.

Similarly, layering sections can be more challenging if your chart utilizes smart containers or data imports, as these features tend to group employees closely together.

Moreover, while the master page controls shared backgrounds and static elements, it does not manage layer visibility - instead, layer toggling occurs at the individual page level.

Best Regards
