Getting Started
What basic information is needed to create a chart?
Important information to know:
– The express version of the application only allows 12 fields (columns) to import, including the hierarchical information.
– The application is built off a hierarchy. At a minimum, you need an employee Unique Identifier, a Report To, Name, and any other information you need to populate in the chart.
How to access your datasheet:
When you first log into the application, you will have the option to Download Employee Data (This is a sample file that can be used as an example).
What are the required fields:
The key column headers on the file are the Person ID and Supervisor ID (the reporting relationship).
– Person ID or the key identifier must be unique. This is what the system uses to identify a person or thing.
– Supervisor ID is needed to show that the employee reports to that supervisor. To be a supervisor, the supervisor ID must exist in the Person ID column.
Note: Make sure to enter the supervisor’s Person ID in this section.
Updating or changing column headers:
The rest of the column headers can be changed or removed. You’re not required to use the suggested field names shown; however, the prebuilt Views (Employee Directory, Org Chart + Department, etc.) use the suggested field names. If you change the field names in your employee data file, you will be required to edit the Views so that the fields display properly.
