Display assistants for SharePoint User Profiles data source

Single assistant

Assistants are enabled by default. The Assistant user profile property is already mapped in Org Chart:

Org Chart uses the standard SharePoint Assistant user profile property to retrieve assistant information for employees. If assistant data is stored in a different property, update the mapping accordingly.

Note

This property supports only one assistant per employee.

To disable assistants, select None for the Assistant ID mapping.

Multiple assistants

To support multiple assistants, create a custom user profile property:

Next, map the custom property in Org Chart:

After creating the property, enter assistant email addresses as a semicolon-separated list. For example, assist1@contoso.com; assist2@contoso.com; assist3@contoso.com

Finally, clear the Org Chart cache to reload the updated data.
