Getting Started

Whilst the org chart is a simple visual representation of your company structure, in order to build one within Worknice, a surprising amount of data is required. Often this data is not all in one place, so this guide is aimed at answering the most common questions we receive.

The actual importing of org chart data is done by your Worknice implementation team but we do require you to fill-out and send us the org chart import template.
