Understanding Org Chart Viewer and Company Directory Features and Functionality

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 to enable self service actions from the visualization. Users can collaborate with co-workers by selecting the communication methods available within the organization including email, instant messaging (IM), telephone options, links to social networks, and a free form text field to add additional personalized information. A user can also access the Company Directory application on the go by using a tablet or smartphone.

This organizational visualization and navigation directory offers functionality beyond a typical organization chart by supporting worker collaboration, identifying direct-line and dotted-line reporting chains, and enabling users to initiate employee and manager self service transactions from the organizational view.

The Org Chart Viewer feature in Classic has been replaced by the Company Directory functionality in Fluid. For more information, see Using the PeopleSoft Fluid User Interface for the Company Directory.
