The Org Chart at Settings → Org Chart visualises your formal reporting structure: who reports to whom, including dotted-line and matrix relationships. It is separate from groups, which capture working units.

  • Open at Settings → Org Chart

  • Shows the full organisation in a hierarchical chart

  • Click Edit Reporting to add or change reporting lines

  • Search by name or email to jump to a person

  • The org chart is independent of groups (Settings → Groups)


What the org chart represents

The org chart captures your formal reporting structure. Each employee shows a count of direct reports below them. The structure is used for:

  • Routing actions and notifications to the appropriate manager

  • Hierarchy-aware reporting

  • Cross-referencing during incident investigations and consultations


Viewing the org chart

Open Settings → Org Chart. The chart starts at the top of your organisation and expands downward.

  • Click Expand All to show every level at once

  • Click the fullscreen toggle to view the chart in a larger area

  • Use the search bar to jump to a specific person by name or email


Editing reporting relationships

Click Edit Reporting to enter edit mode. From here you can:

  • Set or change a person's manager

  • Add a dotted-line manager (matrix relationship)

  • Remove a reporting line

  • Restructure direct reports

Changes are saved as you make them. Historical reporting structure is retained, so you can see how the organisation has changed over time.


How the org chart relates to groups

The org chart is the formal "who reports to whom". Groups (Settings → Groups) are the flexible working units used for compliance scope, data access, and group-level reporting.

A person can belong to multiple groups but has only one primary reporting line. Both views are used together: the org chart for line-management routing, groups for compliance access.
