Org Chart
Interactive visual hierarchy of the project team — who reports to whom, grouped by company.
Overview
Org Chart visualises the reporting structure for everyone assigned to a project.
It reads data from Resources (project personnel) and Workforce (person records, supervisor links). It does not create or edit person records — it is a read-only view over existing data.
Each node shows: - Name and project role - Company with a colour-coded band by company type - Status badge (active, planned, demobilised, blocked)
Click any node to open a detail sheet with email, phone, crew, and company information.
Hierarchy rules
The tree is built from supervisor links on workforce person records. Key rules:
- If a person's supervisor is not assigned to this project, the person becomes a root node
- Multiple roots are normal — e.g. a Client PM and Contractor PM as independent trees
- Unlinked personnel (no supervisor and no reports) appear in a separate grid below the hierarchy
- Circular supervisor references are detected and logged; affected nodes render as roots
- If no supervisor links are set at all, the chart shows a flat grid with an informational banner
Toolbar controls
The toolbar above the chart provides:
- Search — type a name, role, company, or crew to find and highlight matching people. Non-matching nodes are dimmed. The chart auto-pans to the first match and auto-expands ancestor paths so matches are always visible.
- Company filter — pill buttons for each company type present in the project. Click a type to show only that company's personnel. Click additional types to include them. Click All to reset.
- Layout toggle — switch between top-down (vertical) and left-right (horizontal) orientation. Only visible on desktop.
Company colours
Each company type has a distinct colour band on the node card:
| Type | Colour |
|---|---|
| Principal | Blue |
| Contractor | Amber |
| Subcontractor | Green |
| Consultant | Purple |
| Labour Hire | Slate |
| Supplier | Gray |
| Visitor Org | Gray |
