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
