Organizational Chart
An Organizational Chart displays Profiles in a hierarchical structure showing the reporting relationships between individuals within a college, department, or office.
Editing the Organizational Structure of Profile Pages
Including a person in the Organizational Chart requires a simple edit to their Profile page.
- Open a person's Profile page in Edit mode, then select the MultiEdit button.
- Scroll down to the Organizational Structure section.
- In the Reports to field, use the Choose File button to select the profile (.aspx file) of the individual this person reports to.
- Save and Publish the Profile page when you are done.
Republishing the Listing Feed After Editing Profile Pages
- Editing and publishing profile pages does not automatically update the listing feed.
- You must republish the faculty.pcf data file in your site to rebuild the listing feed. The file is usually located at: /_resources/data/faculty.pcf
Creating a New Organizational Chart Page
- Navigate to your listing section and use the "NEW" button
- Select "New Organizational Chart"
- Fill out the information
- "Page Title"
- "Description" is optional, but if you choose to use it, summarize the content of the page and keep it under 160 characters for optimal display in Google search results
- "Tags" and "Keywords" can stay empty
- "Filename" is usually similar to the Page Title except following filenaming conventions (e.g. organizational-chart)

- Use the “Create” button in the lower-right corner to complete your page creation
