Add views

Note

Views are available starting from the Org Chart version 4.2.15. Check the version history.

You can create additional views for departments or teams by clicking the + Add view button in the Views tab of the configuration wizard. Then name the view, Start structure from employee, and Filter employees, if needed:

Create view

Each view includes a drop-down menu with the following actions:

  • Copy ID - Copy and share an ID of the current view. You can use the view ID to filter the Org Chart using Javascript.

  • Copy URL - Copy and share a direct URL to the specific view.

  • Clone - Duplicate the current view with all its settings.

  • Delete - Remove the current view.

Note

It’s also possible to copy the view ID and view URL directly from the browser’s address bar after selecting a certain view in the Org Chart.

You can create a new view from the top menu when editing the web part:

Please find examples of how to use the Views feature in the blog post.

Start structure from employee

Define the starting point of the hierarchy by selecting a specific employee. Start typing their name, and Org Chart will suggest matching results.

You can leave the starting employee field empty, and in this case:

  • If you use User Profiles or EntraID data sources, the starting employee will be found based on current user relations. Org Chart will find the current user. Then it will traverse up by manager relation until it finds an employee without a manager. This person will be a starting employee.

  • If you use a SharePoint list or Excel data sources, the first employee without a manager will be a starting employee.

Start the structure with

Filter employees

You can use filtration conditions to exclude employees from the chart or show only specific departments or people. You can filter by department, name, or any other field from your data source.

Note

Filtration conditions are case sensitive.

This editor contains a set of conditions that are evaluated as true or false. Click + Add condition to add a condition. An employee box is displayed if it meets All or Any of the conditions.

Each condition includes:

  • a drop-down list to select a field from the data source,

  • a comparison operator,

  • a value field (use is empty or is not empty to check whether the field has a value).

The operator drop-down includes Matches, which lets you check whether the value matches a regular expression.
