OrgPublisher 7 Features and Enhancements

OrgHistory ñ For anyone who has ever been asked for an org chart from several months ago, this information is now easily accessible through this historical archiving feature.

OrgPlan - This new feature provides web-based, what-if planning capabilities, which gives designated individuals the ability to create & share new organizational models. Organizations can even generate change reports to get a comprehensive listing of the proposed changes.

Compare 2 Charts ñ Provides users the ability to analyze two charts and automatically generate a detailed report of the differences.

Export Search Result to Microsoft Excel - With the click of a button, organizations can view search results within Microsoft Excel.

Chart Export to Microsoft PowerPoint - Org charts can easily be transferred to Microsoft PowerPoint.

Directory View - This new publishing feature allows organizations to publish a searchable employee directory without the org chart. Links for each person allow quick navigation to e-mail addresses and org chart locations.

Secure Custom Fields - Enables administrators to hide secure fields from users in the searchable employee directory.

Secure Styles based on Groups - Adds another layer of security to ECharts by allowing only members of a group to access a designated style.

E-mail Notifications - Our new e-mail agent will notify designated individuals of data integrity issues when a scheduled publishing job fails. E-mail alerts will also help organizations keep track of the number of records being charted compared to their licensed limit.

Open Chart for Formatting - Makes formatting charts quicker and easier by opening a copy of a chart specifically for formatting which saves a lot of time when working in large charts.

New and Improved User Interface ñ The entire OrgPublisher user interface has a new, fully customizable look and feel.

Group Security - This security feature will hide groups from users that do not belong to the group.

ìThe ability to clearly document your companyís organizational structure over the course of time is essential,î said Ross Melbourne, chief technology officer at Aquire ìWeíve also enhanced existing security features to ensure administrators have greater control over confidential HR and financial data, while still enabling authorized employees to access beneficial company information.î
