The Org Chart Viewer enables your employees and managers to search for people across the organization, to see a visual representation of the organization based on your defined hierarchical structures, and enable actions from the visualization. Users are able to collaborate with co-workers by selecting the communication methods available within the organization including email, telephone options, instant messaging, links to social networks, and a free form text field to add additional personalized information.

The Org Chart Viewer pages present the user with different views of the organization. When enabled and granted access, users can view the hierarchical structure of their organizations through the Company Directory folder or tab, view their direct-line structure through the Direct-Line Reports folder or tab, or view matrix teams through the Org Chart Viewer matrix folders or tabs or Teams menu links.

See Understanding Org Chart Viewer and Company Directory Features and Functionality.

Access the Org Chart Viewer component by selecting an org view type folder directly from the root menu.

Folder Tabs to Represent Org View Types

When you access the Org Chart Viewer in classic mode, you may be presented with the option to select from three different types of org view types: Company Directory, Direct-Line Reports (if you are a manager with direct reports), and matrix teams, otherwise known as dotted-line reports (one for each team with which you are associated).

Org Chart Viewer menu navigation

Note: As of PeopleTools 8.55, the menu navigation structure is no longer available. Select Company Directory from the Nav Bar Navigator and it will take you to the Org Chart Viewer, if Fluid Company Directory is not implemented.

The menu navigation structure provides a quick overview of the reporting structures for each organizational viewer format. The menu navigation shows the following folder order structure when all folders are enabled and a user has access:

Org View Type

Folder

Description

Company Directory

The first menu folder displays the Company Directory.

The Company Directory folder tab appears as the first tab in the Org Chart Viewer tab folders. Depending upon your security access and reporting structure, this may be the only org view type for which you have access.

The Org Chart page reflects the reporting structure of your organization and you can perform searches for anyone in the Company Directory.

When you access the Company Directory folder from one of the other Org Chart Viewer folders, the page will display the person defined in the Start Page Content section of the Org Chart Viewer - Preferences Page as the focus root node.

Direct-Line Reports

If applicable, the next folder in the menu structure shows the Direct-Line Reports folder for managers.

The Direct-Line Reports folder tab typically appears as the second tab in the Org Chart Viewer tab folders. If you do not have access to this page or do not have direct reports, this folder tab will not be available to you.

The Org Chart page reflects the reporting structure of your direct and indirect reports. You can perform searches for any employees that report to you.

When you access the Direct-Line Reports folder from one of the other Org Chart Viewer folders, the page will display the logged in user’s profile data or in the focus node as the manager, by default.

If you have access to the Manager Dashboard page, you can also access that page from this folder tab by clicking the Manager Dashboard link in the Search bar.

Matrix Reports (teams)

The remaining folders, if applicable, represent the Matrix Reports (teams) folders and are identified by the team name.

You can view matrix teams through these various methods:

  • Matrix reports folder tabs at the top of the Org Chart Viewer component

    A matrix report folder tab, which reflects the name of the matrix team, appears at the top of the Org Chart Viewer component and is available for team owners and members, depending upon how the team matrix was set up.

  • Teams page

    Teams that are made public and viewable for org view types will be shown in the Teams fields for individuals associated with a team. You can view a list of team members by selecting the matrix team link for an individual on the Profile or by selecting the matrix team from the Teams drop-down list on the org chart nodes.

    See Org Chart Viewer - Teams Page.

The matrix team pages reflect the reporting structure of each team and you can perform searches for anyone in that team.

When you access the matrix team folders from one of the other Org Chart Viewer folders, the page will display the root person of the team in the focus node or profile page by default.

See Matrix Team Page.

After you have accessed the Org Chart Viewer component, you can use the folder tabs to access the different org view types, as shown in this example.

Org Chart Viewer folder tab and page structure

There are also elements within the Org Chart Viewer common to all org view types. These include:

  • At the top of Org Chart Viewer users will have access to set personal preferences.

  • A search feature that enables users to look for individuals within the org view type tab folder from which the search was initiated.

  • Each org view type folder consists of a Profile and an Org Chart page.

    • The Profile page enables users to view profile details about a person, such as job specifics, and provides access to additional contact information.

    • The Org Chart page shows the reporting structure specific to the org view type folder you have accessed. You can view this information in a chart or list format.

  • When the appropriate functionality is enabled, users can initiate IM chats and email communication directly from the Org Chart Viewer pages.

  • When the appropriate functionality is enabled, users can export Org Chart Viewer details to Excel or Visio.

Pages Within Each Org View Type

Each org view type folder contains two page tabs:

Page Within the Org Chart Viewer Folder

Description

Org Chart Viewer

View a person within the context of the reporting structure for the org view type you are accessing. It displays a three-tiered graphical representation. The chart focuses on a person and where he or she fits within the reporting structure or that org view type.

Profile Page

The Profile tab of the page provides additional information about a person, such as his or her job details; links to other people with whom he or she is associated, such as direct reports, peers, and the manager; as well as personalized group boxes, which enable the user to enter additional contact details, personal links, and free from text.

Information the user enters on his or her own Profile page will appear on the Profile page of each org view type folder, it is not org view type specific.

Performing Personal Updates Through Self Service Transactions

When an individual views his or her content, whether from the Org Chart tab or the Profile tab within the Org Chart Viewer pages, he or she can be granted the ability to access HCM related self service transactions using the Actions menu link. The manager can also be granted the ability to access HCM related manager self service transactions using the Actions menu link for his or her subordinates.

The Org Chart Viewer feature enables you to search and retrieve people through various methods. You can use the basic search field, enter multiple search criteria through an advanced search page, use SmartNavigation that appears in the navigation header as breadcrumbs and fly-out menus, or select the links of other names on the Org Chart or Profile pages of the Org Chart Viewer component.

The Org Chart Viewer will perform a search for an individual based on the org view type folder tab you are currently viewing. For example, if you have accessed a matrix team folder tab from within the Org Chart Viewer, the system will search for that person within that team. If the person does not exist in that matrix team, the search will return no results.

These topics discuss:

  • The search for people: single field search.

  • The search for people: advanced search page.

  • The SmartNavigation menu structure.

  • The search for people with multiple jobs.

The Search for People: Single Field Search

Access the search header of any Org Chart Viewer page.

Note: Searches from within an org view type folder tab will perform a search within that folder only.

For example, if you perform a search from the Direct-Line Reports tab, the system will search for that person within your direct-line reports. Use the Advanced Search page to enter multiple criteria to search for an individual, or use a basic search by entering a name, job title, department, or email in the search field in the Org Chart Viewer header.
