Creating Organization chart in Office 365
I were asked on how we can create an organization chart inside Office 365. so i am not sure what are the available tools we have. but if i click on a username (let say from a sharepoint site) >> i will be redirected to the user's profile page inside Delve >> where it has a section named "Organization" >> where i can view the direct manager of the user + the people reporting to the user, as follow:-
so i assume that we already have the data and tools. but not sure in Office 365 what is the formal way to build an organization chart ? is Delve the place to build this?
Thanks

john john I don't know how to do it in Microsoft 365. But I do know it can be done by the Organization Chart wizard in Visio Professional 2016 if you use Outlook/Exchange. See https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-an-organization-chart-automatically-from-employee-data-8f2e693e-25fc-410e-8264-9084eb0b9360
As Adam mentioned, there is already built-in functionality that leverages data from Azure AD (or your on-premises AD) to build an org view. If you want to "build" something yourself, you can take a look at Exchange Hierarchical Address books: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/address-books/hierarchical-address-books/hierarchical-address-books
However, those will only be visible in Outlook.

VasilMichev Ok thanks, but inside Delve, from where i can view the whole Org chart? as in my case if i click on a username (from a sharepoint site) >> i will be redirected to the user's Delve profile page >> and inside the user's Delve profile >> i can view the user's direct manager and the users' reporting to him/her. but could not find a place to view the whole Org chart?
second question. if i can view the whole Org chart inside Delve, then can i embed this Org chart inside sharepoint modern page?
- Afaik there’s no possibility to do this out of the box! I know there are some solutions but don’t know them too well!
See this blog:

- Yeah, there is delve to view it and also an org chart in Teams!
But there’s no certain app for building it! It pulls data from the AAD
