Organisation Charts
Introduction
Organisation Charts are used to represent and communicate a company’s structure visually. In addition to providing information about the individuals who work within the organisation, the charts show where each person fits into the reporting structure (who they report to, and who reports to them). Using organisation charts as a business tool has some clear benefits.
The People Inc. organisation charting plug-in is an integrated tool designed to generate org-charts directly from the data recorded within the People Inc. system. The plug-in uses employee information together with the reports-to details from current job records to generate organisation charts
Users can select the employees they wish to include in a chart by selecting companies, locations and departments. The information displayed in each cell in the org-chart shows is configurable and can be saved in a template-style and re-used as needed.

Features
The organisation chart plug-in produces traditional organisation charts detailing employees and their position within the company. This view of an organisation is easy to understand and can help with planning and management activities.
Each cell within the organisation chart provides additional information about the individual (such as department, job title and phone number). The contents of a cell are chosen from options on the settings screen. Each cell is linked to the employee's manager, and to employees they manage. These links are based on reports-to information in their record in People Inc.
Users can change the chart colours, fonts and box-shapes (and box colours). A number of styles can be saved within the system detailing the content and styling of cells. These styles can be re-used on any chart that is generated.
Branches of the organisation (or individual employees) can be moved within the chart so that they report to a different manager, they can also be removed if required.
Reports-to information within the People Inc. system can be updated by saving changes made to the reporting structure within a chart
