Organisation Chart in O365/ SharePoint
Hi, I have this requirement also. On our home site, under 'About <companyname>" I want to provide a page that let's employees interact with the org chart. We already maintain the hierarchy relationships and other data in AD. It needs to sit within the page so I can provide supportive text around it such as
- how to use it
- how to change things
- who to go to have restricted fields amended - possibly even linking to a form and workflow.
I have used a trial of the app Plumsail from the store and it was okay.
I also tried using the people part, starting with the CEO. The People part shows the most promise and I'm hoping that some of the smarts already developed could be turned into a webpart(s).
The first image shows hovering over the People webpart on the page which is of the CEO. The second image shows the organisation detail - in effect drilling down but it's in a pop-up and I can't grab any of it. So someone has already done the hard thinking about the user interface and flows - we just need some ways to leverage this in Sharepoint Online as content authors. One example might be evolving the People part to let you specify what to show - Profile or Relationships etc.
We are in build mode so before we spend on 3rd party apps, I'd like to know what's in the pipeline or on the drawing board for this. (I've tried the roadmap site but having trouble logging on.
One last point, the company directory remains the most valued app or service on any company Intranet (sad but true), as an Intranet Manager, I need to deliver a modern interactive one that supports people coming to grips with who's who.
Many thanks
Deb
PS I've put the detail & images here so hopefully you and others won't need to replicate in order to understand. I appreciate that some on this thread will be familiar with the images
