Why am I unable to log in to my Org Chart account?

How should the CSV import file be formatted correctly? Is there any CSV import template?

Please follow this link, and copy a template for a correctly filled CSV file.

Do not leave required fields empty, and do not delete or re-order columns. It will ensure that the columns are mapped correctly to their respective fields.

How can I synchronize my Org Chart with Google Workspace?

We offer two Google Workspace synchronization options. 

  • One-way synchronization - does not synchronize changes with Google Workspace:
  • Information from Google Workspace will get synchronized to the Org chart but not vice versa. It includes any changes to the employee data in the Org Chart, such as adding or removing employees, changing job titles, or modifying department structures. Instead, you would need to manually update the employee's information in Google Workspace to reflect the change.
  • Two-way synchronization - synchronizes changes with Google Workspace:
  • With two-way synchronization, the employees' data get synchronized between both systems in both directions. 
  • You cannot edit email addresses and employee IDs in the Org chart.

I cannot create the Org Chart synced with Google Workspace even when I am superadmin.

  • The first thing to check is whether you have enabled access to third-party applications. See this link for further instructions.
  • Secondly, ensure that your employees in Google Workspace have filled in a department information or manager.

Why don't I see employees from Google Workspace in the synced Org Chart?

  1. You are not a super-admin: If you are not a Google Workspace account super-admin, you may not have the necessary permissions to sync user data with your Org Chart.
  2. Your super-admin did not grant permission: Without the Google Workspace managing permissions, you can not sync user data with your Org Chart account. Check with your super-admin to confirm that you have the required permissions.
  3. Expired token: If the Google Workspace token has expired, it could prevent user data from syncing correctly. You will get alerted about token expiration and see an option to reconnect to the Google workspace. Please, note that Google Workspace can be connected only by a person with an Org chart and Google Workspace admin rights.
  4. Missing required user information: Missing user information in your Google Workspace account could prevent the user data from syncing with your Org Chart. Ensure that all necessary fields, such as name, email address, department, and subordinates, are filled in correctly for each user in your Google Workspace account.

Why don't I see profile photos of the employees in the Org Chart synced with the Google Workspace?

  1. The employee has not uploaded a profile photo: If the employee has no profile photo in their Google Workspace account, their profile photo will not be visible in the Org Chart.
  2. The photo sync feature is disabled: By default, Google Workspace has enabled syncing profile photos to the Org Chart. However, disabling this setting will stop profile photos from syncing in the Org Chart. You can check the settings in your Google Workspace Admin console to see if the photo sync feature is enabled.
  3. The employee has restricted their profile photo visibility: Employees can limit the visibility of their profile photo only to specific groups or individuals. If an employee has restricted their profile photo visibility and you are not in the allowed group, then their profile photo will not be visible to you.
  4. To update the employee's profile photo in the Org Chart, you may need to manually upload their new photo to the employee's Google Workspace account.
  5. Note that profile photo synchronization typically occurs during the initial synchronization. Any changes to the profile photos after creating the Org chart may not get synced in the Org chart.

What are the Custom Fields? (PRO)

Custom fields are visible on employee profiles and store and display additional information beyond the standard fields provided by the Org Chart software. You can customize them to fit the specific needs of your organization.

The Org Chart offers four options for custom fields:

  1. Text- Employee's address, project assignment, etc.
  2. Time picker -  date of hire, etc.
  3. Dropdown - skills, certifications, etc... You can show/hide dropdowns on the employee cards.
  4. Connection - You can choose between a dotted line, a dashed line, and a solid line connection. These connections are used in the Org chart to represent different types of relationships between employees. A dashed line and dotted line are similar in appearance and can be used to indicate temporary or advisory relationships. A solid line, on the other hand, is often used to represent a direct reporting relationship between two employees.

Custom fields can be used to:

Revolutionize your Learning and Development

Elevate Onboarding Processes

Maximize Employee Performance

Improve Employee Satisfaction

Optimize Hiring Processes

Important: Custom fields are not part of the Org Chart export and are not synced with Google Workspace. They are not part of the duplicated Org Chart, except the dotted line.
