Hi everyone,
I recently helped someone who needed my org chart extension to actually work properly and be less confusing to use (the nerve!).
So, this was a good excuse to quickly update the old org chart extension I built several years ago to make the properties more clear and make the extension more flexible. If I had a lot of time, there's more I'd do, but this should at least be an improvement.
Anyway, I removed all of the properties except for 3:
The path is the same as before. It is the hierarchical tree of employees (or whatever you're displaying) separated by dashes. So an employee named Bill Williams whose bosses are Jim Smith and Fred Clark would be "Fred Clark-Jim Smith-Bill Williams." It's a setting you can choose in QlikView to display as a tree.
Name is the name of the empoyee (or whatever you're displaying). This is needed to properly map and reconcile the boxes with the hierarchy.
The pop up content is where you set what you want to show up in the pop up. This is the main improvement. Before what was shown here was specific, but now you can set it to anything. In order to mimic the pop-up from the extensions example demo (http://us.demo.qlik.com/detail.aspx?appName=Extension%20Examples.qvw) you would set this to be:
=[Employee Desc1] & '<br>' & [Employee Desc2]
So, that's it. No huge changes, but it should be an improvement.
The new extension will not overwrite your old one and will appear as "Org Chart v2"

Thanks!
Hi Brian,
The extension is great. Thank you for your contribution!! I wonder if there is any way to include the Orgchart within a PDF report from a macro or print to PDF or capture a screenshot only for the Org Chart?
Thanks in advance
