Although you employ the Organization Chart Wizard in following exercises, it is useful to understand initially at which easy point it is to create diagrams of org to the hand.
When you look in the category of gauge of business, you’ll find two org chart templates called Organization Chart and Organization Chart Wizard. The only difference between them is that this last begins a magician automatically when you create a new document. If you never choose the Organization Chart Wizard by error, just countermand the magician and continue. If you precisely prove to choose the gauge without magician and to decide to you then want to employ it, click on the button of importation in the Organization Data group on the Org Chart tab
In this exercise, you’ll create a new org chart by dragging shapes
onto the page and using the org chart template’s auto-positioning
features. You’ll also enter data for each shape in the chart.
-
Drag the Executive
shape from the Belt – Organization Chart Shapes stencil to the top center of the drawing page.
Tip
The title of the Organization Chart Shapes stencil in Visio 2013 is
preceded by the name of the currently selected org chart style. When
you start a new drawing, it defaults to the Belt style; consequently,
Belt – Organization Chart Shapes is displayed in the title bar.
-
With the shape still selected, type President, click the word Name, and then type Magnus Hedlund.
Tip
Just as the title of the Organization Chart Shapes stencil includes
the name of the currently selected org chart style, certain master
names in the stencil also include the style name. For example, if you
are using the Belt style, the masters include Executive Belt, Manager
Belt, and others with similar names.
-
Drag a Manager
shape onto the Magnus Hedlund shape. Then type Vice President, click the word Name, and then type Magdalena Karwat. Notice that the org chart software automatically positions the new shape below the Hedlund shape.
-
Repeat step 3 and notice that the org chart add-in has positioned
the second manager shape to the side of the first one. With the new
shape still selected, type Vice President, click the word Name, and then type Allison Brown. -
Drag one more Manager shape onto the Hedlund shape. Type Vice President, click the word Name, and then type Giorgio Veronesi.
-
Drag a Position shape onto the Giorgio Veronesi shape, open the Shape Data window, and then type Janet Schorr into the Name field.
-
Drag a Position shape onto the Giorgio Veronesi shape, and type Reina Cabatana into the Name field in the Shape Data window.
-
Drag the Three positions shape onto the Magdalena Karwat shape, and use the Shape Data window to enter the following names from top to bottom: Filip Rehorik, April Reagan, and Scott Rockfeld.
Tip
The Three
Positions shape makes it very easy to add three people to the chart at
once. Note that there is also a stencil shape called Multiple Shapes.
When you drop it onto an existing org chart shape, it prompts you to
select a shape type and to specify how many of them you’d like to add
to the chart.
-
Drag a Consultant shape onto the Allison Brown shape and enter Sandeep Kaliyath.
Tip
Notice that the Belt org chart style does not provide any visual
differentiation between Consultant and Position shapes. However, the
appearance of the Consultant shape is different in other styles as
you’ll discover later in this exercise.
-
Drag a Vacancy shape onto the Allison Brown shape and type Open as the name. Notice that vacancy shapes do not include a photo placeholder.
-
Drag an Assistant
shape onto each of the Vice President shapes and type the following names:
-
Drag an Assistant shape onto the Magnus Hedlund shape and type Cassie Hicks as the name. The org chart add-in has rearranged your drawing to position all of your shapes. Notice that Assistant
shapes are automatically positioned differently than other subordinate shapes.
At this point, you’ve built a reasonably sophisticated organization
chart by doing little more that dragging shapes and typing text.
Note
CLEAN UP Save your changes to the Org Chart by Hand drawing, and then close it.
