Professional Edition > Key Features
HRCharter Professional is a powerful tool for HR Professionals and other line managers. It combines advanced functionality for designing, printing and exporting charts with easy to use tools for organisational modelling.
Automatic Formatting and Layout
- Select the chart style and the starting point and HRCharter automatically draws and formats the information in the chart to make best use of the available space, whether the chart is to be viewed on the screen or printed and distributed.
- Add extra data to the chart using the intuitive drag and drop interface and HRCharter will automatically adjust the formatting and layout to fit the new data.
Fully Customisable Chart Content and Layout
- Apply a range of chart styles, including flat, overlapped, feathered, left or right justified.
- Change colours, sizes, backgrounds, etc
- Choose content from a list of predefined box styles or use the in-built "Box Editor" to create your own.
- Modify vertical and horizontal spacing, draw dotted line relationships or levelise by grade.
- Use multiple box styles in one chart. Select the entire chart or just part of it, apply a different style and HRCharter instantly refreshes the chart with the new information.
Powerful Box Style Editor
- Use the inbuilt box editor to add extra information to boxes in your organisation charts
- Choose from a list of predefined box styles or create entirely new box styles
- Include name, job titles, contact information, photos and much more.
- Save new box styles to the library so they can be used again
Fully Integrated with SAP and other leading HR systems
- When data changes in the source database, changes are automatically updated in HRCharter, reducing administration and making sure your charts are always up to date.
- HRCharter can delve directly into relational database tables so charts can include related information about an employee, such as performance, absence or salary data (subject to security).
- Access to sensitive data can be restricted based on the same rules applied to the source database or HR system.
Benefits of Integration
- Offers access to much wider range of information. Virtually any information (subject to security) held in your HR or ERP system can be included in charts produced by HRCharter.
- Dynamic real time charting ensures that any changes in the underlying database are automatically reflected in HRCharter. Your organisation charts are always created using the latest data meaning that charts are never out of date.
- HRCharter supports complex multi-table relational databases, allowing you to include virtually any information in your published charts.
Conditional Mapping and Colour Coding
- Conditions can be set and employees or positions meeting these can be highlighted with a different colour or box style.
- See trends and patterns at a glance, for example highlight individuals or teams with a high level of absence, or use colours to show candidates' readiness for a particular role.
Multiple Reporting Relationships and Dotted Line Reporting
- HRCharter Professional Edition allows you to create charts based on multiple reporting relationships defined in the underlying database. These can include:
- Employee to Employee
- Position to Position
- Direct, Dotted Line, Mentor
- Partial Position Management
- Department or Org Unit
- Job (Supervisor)
Support for Organisation Planning and What If Scenarios
- Drag and drop employees, positions or even whole departments to different locations to get a better understanding of the implications of organisation change.
- Move, add or delete jobs, levels or organisation units without affecting the underlying database
Advanced Search and Select
