A shortcut to the organisational chart also appears within the My employees page.
How to create an organisational chart
Firstly, decide what employees can see within their employee or manager space. To do this,
In the top-right-hand corner, click Settings.
Choose from one of the three following options;
Show view by hierarchy and by team - Shows full organisation chart and a teams view, showing each employee in each team.
By hierarchy only - Shows just the hierarchy view.
Not displayed - The org chart will not be available to employees or managers.
Click Save.
Next, you need to create your departments and teams, before assigning employees to their team.

Click Add a department.
Type in the Department name, and choose a Department colour.
Click Save.
Create a team
