We've rolled out several updates to enhance the org chart experience for your team. Here's what's new:

💨 Huge speed update! The org chart now loads instantly.

🧰 Redesigned the org chart toolbar into a more compact, vertical format, and made the buttons more visible.

➖ Finally, we've added a collapse/reset button to the org chart toolbar!

🔛 Redesigned the fit icon in the org chart toolbar.

🪁 Org chart layout options moved into a flyout to save space on the toolbar and to make it easier to see the names of the layout choices.

🔟 The number at the bottom of org chart blocks previously indicated direct reports. Now, it displays the total count of all subordinates down the reporting line, providing a clearer view of reporting counts at various levels.

🤩 Various UI updates and visual improvements, including increased visibility of text on the org chart blocks, better alignment of the "connector lines," and other styling tweaks.

😎 Improved visual contrast on numerous UI elements, including list view icons, sidebar icons and text, sidebar expand/collapse toggle, and various headings and footer text.

📞 Profile field formatting for custom phone number fields. Now, custom fields named "direct phone" or "work phone" or "desk phone" will render in phone number style with a clickable tel: link.

Now you can set the default layout of the org chart to one of 4 available layout options:

  • Vertical Classic
  • Vertical Compact
  • Horizontal Classic
  • Horizontal Compact

The "Classic" options offer a flat and wide org chart layout, displaying all direct reports side by side. The "Compact" options save space by grouping direct reports in a grid layout.

Users can customize the layout within the org chart themselves.

Improvement

The "default view" settings have been moved into a single place in the settings, so they're now easier to find and manage. You can use the default views to control which view your team will see when they visit the offices page, departments page, skills page, and any search results page.

You can find this setting in Settings > General > Display Settings (tab).

Note that users can still change views themselves.

Improvement

Sidebar display settings

You can find the new Sidebar options in Settings > General > Display Settings (tab).
