Tell me what publishing an org chart means?
Publishing an org chart means that you have the ability to save, export, or upload your chart to your company server (SharePoint), network, intranet or even website (OneDrive, Dropbox). This makes it possible for you to share your created charts, reports and directories with all or a few selected employees. Simply select the directory in which you wish to save the chart and choose the file format (PDF, Power Point or Word, html 5) that you wish the chart to be viewed in. The same applies to any file linked or attached to your chart.

Silent Update Instructions for OrgChart
You can now schedule automatic daily updates to the org chart using data from your HR database. The OrgChart program can be run using command line parameters. Updates may be made to a web site, PowerPoint, and more.

This feature was added for customers who receive frequent changes to their HR data and want to update the OrgChart on a daily basis. They do not want to have to take the time and human effort to run the OrgChart program manually.

With Silent Update you can schedule a job that calls the OrgChart program, runs it using the most recently updated organisation / HR data, and automatically updates the common outputs such as a PowerPoint presentation or Flash web site.

How Do I Restrict Access to Confidential Information?
OrgChart can be securely contained directly on your PC. Information and files you wish to share with others can be uploaded to your corporate server, intranet or web but will still remain linked to your desktop where you will have full editing capabilities. Sensitive information, such as salaries and home addresses, can be password and filter protected to authorised users. The ability to update and change information on the chart can also be password protected or restricted to selected users.
