How to make an org chart

An org chart shows who reports to whom: a team, a company, or a project’s roles.

Step by step

1. Pick Org chart from the Diagram menu and choose New org chart. Type a name, press Shift+Enter, and type the role.

   

2. Tab adds someone who reports to the selected person; Enter adds a colleague beside them.

   

3. Select anyone and press Tab for their own team. The chart arranges itself, however big it gets.

   

Tips

• Put the role on the second line, so names line up.
• For a large organisation, draw one chart per department and link them in frames.
