Hello-

We have a large organizational chart. Overall flow: SVP to 4 RVPs to 8 DGMs to 70 GMs. When this is imported from a CSV format so each employee falls under their supervisor, the data is so large that it’s unreadable when exported. Any ideas on how to group employees under their supervisors in boxes or blocks so I can stack employees without it looking like they report to the employee above them instead of directly to their manager? I’d like to avoid having to manually add shapes and physically type in each employee’s data individually. The CSV import is great.

Hi @Adela, thanks for posting your question in the community!

You can choose the layout style of your org chart by:

  • Selecting your org chart shape
  • Opening the Contextual Panel on the right hand side of your editor
  • Choosing the Layout tab
  • Opening the Layout Style menu

Please note that due to the automated nature of data generated org charts, there is no way to modify the default formatting of an org chart outside of the three formatting options available in the context panel.
