I am creating an org chart and there is a manager who manages two teams but when I create those two teams it assumes that there is a manager on each team and then direct reports rather than all of them being direct reports (shown in screenshot - andi is the manager and gabe perez and on down are all direct reports gabe perez should not be showing as a manager). how do i fix this without adding a plus sign to the side of gabe and making the list go horizontal or if it goes horizontal how do i make the list go vertical once i am done adding all the employees. 

Feel like there must be a way but I can't figure out how:  Creating a map of each of our campuses' printers. Would like to publish the map so that when clicked each object's row of data displays... But only when the object gets clicked on.  I guess the display could be in something like the "Selected Shape Data" sidebar or just a temporary/hovering window. Any way to do this?  

Hi I have a diagram with many shapes which are linked to various data objects in a Google Sheet. A colleague would like a copy of the file I'm working on to use for their own purposes so what is required is a copy of the Lucidchart diagram and a copy of the Google Sheet file I'm using. I've created a copy of the diagram and a copy of my Google Sheet but is there an easy way of me updating which Google Sheet the copied diagram refers to? All tab names/data fields are identical it is just the file name/unique URL which is changing so ideally I'd like to just point the copied Lucidchart diagram at the copied Google Sheet and avoid manually recreating all the data associations. Is this possible?

I have imported a spreadsheet of data for organization charts and created a document with multiple pages (one per company).  How can I establish settings to a master page so that "conditional formatting" choices will apply to all of the pages.  I would like choices like setting vertical spacing shape style employee field choices and their order and conditional formatting rules to be set one time and apply to all of the pages. In this example of have 12 pages.  Changing the above choices on each page is onerous as to make these options useless.

Every contact in the organizational chart being designed has a hyperlink destination (a Linkedin profile address).  How can I create the document so that one can click on the box the follow the hyperlink when I am using this in display mode?  I am looking for a universal answer.  With 100s of name this has to be someone done globally.

I started creating a diagram and I want to create another page in the same document. How do I do that?

Hello I am using one of the org chart templates but need to customize the final chart. E.g. some employees have multiple supervisors (dual reporting lines). How can I add an additional line to the other supervisor? I don't want the employees to show up twice. I also need to add additional dotted lines etc. How can I override/customize connections generated automatically to convey those unique relationships?  Thanks Anja

I'm trying to use conditional formatting on a floor plan to change the appearance of some objects. For example I would like to have occupied desks be green and unassigned desks be yellow. I have attached a data set to the diagram and linked rows to the objects. However when I set up the conditional formatting nothing changes. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong?

Hi guys We are trying out LucidChart and really want to like it.  We are coming from Visio so minor UI and nuances aside we really want to make this work. We signed up for the Team account and noticed that we can't see each other's files.  Are we doing something wrong?  Do we have the share individual files with one another in order for all of us to see it?  I thought the whole point of a Team was to avoid that (again I could be doing something wrong so I don't want to rule that out :) 

Hello! I have an Org Chart that is extremely large - 200+ employees and roughly 8.5inches x 192inches that I am looking to export. I want to save it digitally but have no idea which way would be best. Any help would be great!

We had one generic license under which a number of documents for different areas were created.  Now we have 20 licenses and want to 'move' some of the documents from the generic license to the individual's under each area.  If we share then we cannot delete the document from the generic license because then it will delete it from the person we shared it with.  Really we want to move a document not share it.  Is that possible?

Hi My org chart template has changed all by itself. There is a window pane on the right hand side which wasnt there earlier and it is user unfriendly.Also earlier I used to make org chart when the text box used to come on the left hand side

I would like to see if there is a way to create a flow diagram like this one by using data directly from Google Sheets? Is there a way to set up a Google Sheet such that a diagram like this could automatically be generated?

I created a chart a couple of months ago (I believe it was called "One Pager") that is no longer there.

Hi I've recently started to use LucidChart and I have one concern indeed I created a button which show/hide a specific layer (which works very well in LucidChart) but whenever I export my file into PDF this button doesnt work ! And the layer aren't shown in the layer categories in Adobe... I saw there is an option to create a slide for each layers but that's not what I want even if the results would be almost the same. Can someone help me ? I add some screenshots if you need it. (Sorry the interface is in French) Also I wanted to use a tool (Image 3) to avoid overload my slide with tons of forms and texts but it doesnt work after exporting to PDF...   

Hi. Recently I've begun getting the attached message on my screen when working on a chart. It appears constantly---every couple minutes or so. I may pause to think something over for a minute and the message appears. I never used to see this before. Is there a setting to turn this off? It's very annoying. Thank you for your help.  

Do we have something like a master file and when multiple collaborators make changes to their files we can merge them after approval in the master file? (something like GIT)? the version history has the changes sequentially and once we revert back one change we have to do over the later ones even if they were correct.

Hey there My company deprecated my consultant account when I became full time and I would like to transfer the files from my old account to my new one. Thanks MV
