Displaying Organizational Charts
- David Claudia
The organizational charts can be displayed on your Jira dashboards by using the Organizational Chart gadget. For the organizational chart to be generated, you must have a user custom field of type User Picker representing the hierarchical relationship between the Jira users. Also, the fields must be properly set on the user's Advanced Profile page. See "Adding a user custom field" above for how to add such field.
Assuming that you already have a dashboard created and at least one User Picker custom field defined and set on the user Advanced Profile page, follow these steps to display the organizational chart:
Go to your Jira dashboard and click Add gadget
Search for the org chart gadget and add it
Enter the gadget settings as described in the table below
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
Top-down Relationship Field | The user custom field defined in the app settings, representing the hierarchical relationship between the Jira users. |
Diagram Root | Represents the Jira user that will be displayed on the top-level of the chart. In case of a company org chart, this is usually the CEO. Use the Search user and then select the user. |
Field representing the person's title | Is a user custom field of type Text defined in the app settings that usually represents the job title of the person. The value of this field will be displayed in the org chart under the user's full name. |
Limit Diagram to ? levels | Indicates the maximum number of levels the org chart can have. |
Show Avatar | Indicates if the user avatars will be displayed in the org chart. |
Click Save. The organizational chart will be generated and displayed on your dashboard.
