How to Make an Org Chart Using Creately
1. Choose an Org Chart Template
Browse through Createyl’s pre-designed templates available in the org chart generator that suit your organization’s structure. Consider industry-specific templates that may align with your needs or start from a blank canvas if you prefer to build from the ground up.
2. Add Employees and Define Relationships
Manually enter information for each employee or use Creately’s bulk import features to add data from spreadsheets or HR systems. Use drag-and-drop functionality of the org chart builder to arrange reporting lines. You can indicate direct reports and dotted-line relationships.
3. Customize the Design
Apply color schemes that match your brand or differentiate departments. Choose appropriate shapes for different levels of management. Adjust the layout to best represent your organizational structure (e.g., vertical, horizontal, matrix).
4. Add Employee Details
Include employee photos to make the chart more personal and recognizable. Add contact information like email addresses or phone extensions. Incorporate role descriptions or key responsibilities.
5. Review and Share
Review your org chart for accuracy in reporting lines, placement, and spacing to ensure clarity. Share it with your team through secure links, set permissions for viewing or editing, and collaborate in real time. Once finalized, export the chart in formats like PNG, PDF, or SVG for presentations, reports, or documentation.
