Charts overview

Charts overview

Charts gives you a hierarchical view of your organisation model.

Use it when you need to inspect reporting structure, identify placement anomalies, or communicate proposed structural changes.

Where to open charts

  • Live baseline: /charts
  • Scenario context: scenario-prefixed charts route
  • Snapshot context: snapshot-prefixed charts route (read-only)

What charts shows

Charts renders:

  • company/department/team hierarchy nodes
  • actor cards (people, agents, robots) where relevant
  • rollup context and visual structure depth
  • unassigned bucket node for unplaced items

Toolbar controls

Charts includes practical controls for day-to-day analysis:

  • search
  • root org unit selector
  • type/kind filters
  • primary-only toggle
  • show-costs toggle
  • zoom in/out/reset
  • layout mode (top-down, left-right, radial)
  • PNG export

Use root selection plus filters to isolate one branch quickly without losing context.

Context awareness

Charts respects current context label and editability:

  • Live baseline: editable
  • active scenario: editable unless scenario is read-only
  • snapshot/archive: read-only

In read-only contexts, edit controls are hidden, but navigation and analysis still work.

Best-use workflow

  1. Start with top-level hierarchy check.
  2. Narrow with root + filters.
  3. Inspect unassigned and unexpected node density.
  4. Switch to edit mode (if available) for modeling changes.
  5. Export a PNG for stakeholder communication.

Common mistakes

  • treating charts as only a picture instead of a modeling surface
  • skipping root/filter narrowing on large orgs
  • interpreting stale placement issues without checking scenario context
