Connectors neatly follow suit, eliminating the need to manually re-create them every time you need to update your chart.Īdditional data about employees can be integrated into the org chart using Lucidchart’s data import feature. Rearranging people within a corporate hierarchy is a matter of dragging and dropping them to their proper locations within a diagram. How Lucidchart is bringing intelligence to org chartsĪ case in point is Lucidchart’s new intelligent org chart. Overall, Lucidchart has moved its templates upscale, focusing on specific jobs to be done and giving them more polished, presentable designs. It is now taking more of a persona-based approach and has staffed up to build out templates that meet the needs of specific types of business users – people who aren’t typical diagrammers. Helping real people get work doneĪccording to the developer, it initially focused on developing a diagramming application that would be of great utility to most business people. Lucid calls this integration between diagrams and data as “data layering.“ Instead of displaying data next to a chart, it actually integrates the two, providing much more meaning, context and intelligence. You can then incorporate this data into a project org chart, quickly and easily. One column could contain a list of your team members who are assigned to each task.

You can have a spreadsheet that contains task assignment information for a project. This functionality isn’t limited to numerical data, either. Or you can add this data to existing shapes in a similar way. You can then drag and drop rows or cells of data into blank areas of the workspace to create new shapes. It displays this data in tabular form in a panel on the right side of the workspace. You simply select an Excel spreadsheet or a Google Sheets file and select the cell range you want to work with in Lucidchart. Lucidchart enables you to add data to your diagram elements. In this review, we’ll take a closer look at the most notable features of today’s Lucidchart and how these new tools can benefit you.

In 2019, it has evolved into a flexible data visualization tool that’s quite impressive. The last time we looked at the business functionality of Lucidchart in 2013, it was a very competent, web-based diagramming application with excellent usability.
