Organizational Chart

The org chart supports two basic element types: Roles and Connectors. The roles can be of three kinds:

• Person
• Organization
• Custom

The hierarchy is organized from superior to subordinate in the following directions: from top to bottom and left to right. Connector lines link the superiors with subordinates.

You can insert the roles using the drag&drop from the toolbox or clicking the respective button in the context bar. You can also use any other common way for all the diagram elements in Software Ideas Modeler.

How to Draw Org Chart from Scratch

• Determine the purpose of your org chart. An org chart is a visual representation of the hierarchy of a company, organization, or team. It shows the relationships between different positions and the chain of command within the organization.
• Gather information about your organization. In order to create an accurate org chart, you will need to know the job titles and responsibilities of each position within the organization. You may also want to include the names of the individuals who hold each position.
• Add a new diagram to your project - choose the Organizational Chart from the new diagram menu.
• Create the basic structure of your org chart. Start by adding the highest level position, such as the CEO or president, at the top of the chart. Then, add the positions directly below them, followed by the positions below those, and so on. Use lines to connect each position to the one above it, indicating the chain of command.
• Add details to your org chart. Once you have the basic structure in place, you can start adding more information to your chart. This may include the names of the individuals who hold each position, their job titles and responsibilities (description), and any relevant contact information (email, phone number).
• Review and revise your org chart. Once you have completed your org chart, take some time to review it and make any necessary revisions. Consider the layout and design of the chart, and ensure that it accurately reflects the hierarchy and relationships within your organization.
