Organisation Chart

The Organisation Chart view gives you a visual, interactive representation of your company’s reporting structure. It is built automatically from the manager relationships stored in Microsoft Entra ID — no manual configuration required.

Switch to the org chart by clicking the Org Chart tab at the top of the web part.

How it works

TeamBook Employee Directory reads the manager property for each user from Microsoft Graph. This builds a parent-child hierarchy:

  • Each node represents one person.
  • Lines connect employees to their direct manager.
  • The chart expands top-down from the root (CEO/top of organisation) or from a specific person you focus on.
Data source: The org chart reflects whatever is set in the Manager field in Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory). If your organisation does not maintain manager relationships there, the chart will be incomplete.

Expanding and collapsing

  • Click the expand (+) icon on a node to reveal that person’s direct reports.
  • Click the collapse (−) icon to hide them again.
  • Large teams are paginated — an indicator shows if a person has more direct reports to load.

Focusing on a person

Click “View in org chart” from any employee’s profile panel to jump directly to that person as the focal point. The chart re-centres around them, showing their manager above and their direct reports below.

Searching within the chart

Use the search bar (available in the Org Chart view) to locate a specific person. Matching nodes are highlighted, and the chart scrolls to show them.

Zooming and panning

  • Use your mouse scroll wheel or the +/− zoom controls to zoom in and out.
  • Click and drag the chart background to pan.
  • Double-click any empty area to reset the zoom level.

Node cards

Each node in the org chart displays:

  • Profile photo (or initial avatar)
  • Display name
  • Job title
  • Presence indicator (if enabled)

Click any node to open that person’s full Employee Profile panel.

Tips for a good org chart experience

  • Ensure Manager relationships are up to date in Microsoft Entra ID.
  • For large organisations, start by searching for a specific team or person rather than loading the full chart from the root.
  • The org chart works best on desktop. On small screens a condensed list-based fallback is shown.
