To create an Org Chart, type your Top Level element in Row 1 , then Type the child item directly below it in Row 2. Type all the other items in the Org Chart from Row 3 down. For each item you type, Click the ‘SELECT’ button to Choose the Parent & node position. As you type and Choose Parents for each of your items, Org Chart Maker will Automatically Join them. To load the sample data on the grid, click the ‘LOAD SAMPLE’ button. All Positions or Titles should be entered in the Title Column starting version 2.2. For older versions below 2.2, all titles should be enclosed in Parenthesis, ex. Steve Owens(President).

To select a ‘PARENT’ for the child column, click on the ‘SELECT’ button in each row to launch the parent select popover. To choose a parent once the popover is active, click on the desired name from the list. You can also choose the desired node position from this modal. You can position the node on the left, right or bottom of the  parent that you select.  Please note that you can ONLY type on the yellow cells, All white (Parent) cells can only be filled with the ‘SELECT’ button. Once the parent is selected, the change is reflected instantly on the org chart.

A join style  between the parent & child node can be depicted by  a Solid or a Dotted line. To set a join style for a given node, click on the “SELECT” button next to the item that you wish to modify and click on the Solid or Dotted line options.

To position your Org Chart Nodes, Click on the ‘SELECT’ button  and click on the desired position from the popover. You can position nodes ‘LEFT’, ‘RIGHT’ & ‘BOTTOM’ of the selected Parent item.

To create a line break, simply type the opening parenthesis sign ‘(‘ where you wish to break the line. All text after the opening parenthesis ‘(‘  will be pushed to the next line. If the text gets hidden, consider changing the font or node size.

To  format nodes,  Use the node options available in the toolbar. You can change the font family, font size & node size.

By default the Multi-Color style is selected, which means each node color can be independently customized. To Customize  colors, simply  click on the color picker icon next to the item you want to customize. If you wish to use a single color for all your nodes, simply change the Style from Multi-Color to Single Color in the toolbar. Only the top level element color picker can be used when using the Single Color Style. To revert back, simply toggle between the two options. To customize the node text color, join line, background & Chart Title, simply click on the color swatches on the toolbar.

To Export your Org Chart in PDF or PNG format, Click on the Export icon in the toolbar.

Org Chart Maker Mac allows you to Save your Charts for future use or edits. To Save a Chart  simply click on the Save icon on the toolbar or click  File > Save. Once your chart is saved, the colors and other settings that you select are also saved. To Save As, use the File>Save As Option

To open your saved charts, click on the ‘Open’ icon on the toolbar or click on the Fine > Open menu

Use Edit > Copy Chart  in the top menu to move your Chart to the clipboard.  The above screen is an example of a copy & paste in Pages App. You can copy and paste Org Charts in Pages, Keynote, Numbers  &  in other Mac applications. You can also use the Export Options to generate a PNG image or PDF document that you easily open from other apps.

To render your Org Chart fullscreen, click on the Full Screen Zoom  button on the toolbar or Click View > Enter Full Screen.

To  Email  or Share your  Org Charts, click on the ‘Share’ button on the toolbar or  Click on the File > Share option from the top menu. Select the desired format from the Share popover. This can be either PDF or PNG format.

If your Org Chart is too wide, or long, it may not display fully on the Org Chart Window, to display hidden items, simply resize your window if using an iMac  by dragging the edges of the Org Chart Window to the right &  bottom or scroll to the right, left & bottom to expose the hidden items. You can also click on the ‘Full Screen Zoom’ button to utilize your entire screen. If  on fullscreen mode and some items are still hidden, use the same scrolling principles as described before.

To import a CSV file, Click on the “Import” button. It’s recommended you use the  provided template to ensure the data imports correctly. After import, use the “SELECT” button to create relationships between the elements.

To print your Org Chart,  Click on the ‘Print’  Icon on the toolbar or Click on  File > Print  from the top menu. Depending on your org chart structure & size, you may need to choose a custom page size or adjust the Scale Percentage for it to fit. Please note that long or wide charts may not fit properly in the standard size A4 paper, so be sure to reduce the Scale in the Print dialog. You may also want to try” Landscape” orientation instead of the default “Portrait” for wide charts. Another way of ensuring that your chart is not too long or wide is to use the smallest node size & text possible. Node size & text can be adjusted easily from the toolbar.
