Enterprise Edition > Key Features

HRCharter Enterprise Edition is the most feature-rich organisation charting system available today. It provides unparalleled flexibility, allowing you to decide exactly what you want to display in your charts, how you want to display it and who you want see it.

Web Native Application

• Designed to be deployed across the organisation, HRCharter Enterprise uses the latest web technologies to provide anybody with a standard web browser (subject to security permissions) with access to high quality, up-to-date organisation charts.
• Optimised for intranet deployment, HRCharter Enterprise offers reduced network traffic and improved chart quality compared with publishing charts as images.
• Facilitates employee and manager self-service.
• Requires little maintenance and no installation of client-side software for accessing and viewing charts. *

* Power Users may be required to download a small ActiveX plug-in to gain access to the full range of functionality, such as advanced searching and data editing with drag and drop. Click here for more information about the extra functionality available to power users.

Information Rich

• Displays a wide range of information drawn from an HR system or other underlying database, either directly in charts or in profile panes linked to each chart box.

Multiple Styles in One Chart

• HRCharter doesn't restrict you to a single view of the data; multiple box styles can be included in each chart, displaying different information for a single employee or a group of employees if required.

User Friendly Interface

• Designed to be intuitive and instantly accessible - no training is required for end users (employees or their line managers).
• Straightforward navigation, with organisation structure as road map.

Conditional Mapping and Colour Coding

• Support for dotted line hierarchies, partial position management, etc.
• Enables switching between graphical representation of hierarchies, for example to support reward groupings.

Security
