Control Who Appears On Your Chart

You may find that there are people within your chart who you wish to exclude.

This is often the case when using Microsoft Entra ID as a data source, as this will often contain service, administration and test accounts.

To exclude these people, use TeamOrgChart's Conditional Rules.

A rule consists of two parts:

1. An Expression, this checks if information in each box, or item, in the organizational chart meets a specific requirement. For example, 'JobTitle' equals 'Director' or 'Country' equals 'USA'.

2. An Action (or Actions) to take if the expression is met. For example, 'Exclude from Chart'.

Create a Conditional Rule

1. Click 'Conditional Formatting' in the chart toolbar.

2. Click 'Add a New Rule'.

3. Add an expression by clicking 'Add an Expression' and defining

   • a column to test, such as 'Job Title'

   • an operator, such as 'Contains'

   • a value (or multiple values), such as 'Web' and 'Digital'

4. Click 'Save'.

5. Add one or more Actions to take if the expression is met. To exclude people from your chart, use the 'Exclude from Chart' action, when applied this will remove them from both the chart and search results.

Styling Your Chart
