Automatically create organizational charts by linking directly to your Abra HR database. Easily break large, complex charts into easy­to-manage hyperlinked sub-charts to make the information more understandable and manageable. Create multiple, unique chart
tabs within one file to present different views of the organization.

Plan for organizational scenarios by performing spreadsheet functions on data in chart boxes, such as rollup totals, averages,
fractions, and standard deviations. Insert links to other files that contain employee-related information including budgets, employee
resumes, or mission statements, and search and sort chart data within charts.

Empower managers to create “what-if” business scenarios with dynamic drag-and-drop chart-building functionality. Test and create
new scenarios and evaluate their impact by using built-in formulas to measure headcount and salaries.

Create visual impact by customizing your organizational chart with pre-defined templates or create one from scratch. Customize
charts with fill effects including gradients and textures. Import pictures, names, titles and information into each box, which will shrink
or expand to fit your text perfectly with the ability to size logos and titles regardless of how large or small the scale of your chart.

Create multiple rows under one manager with multi-column chart styles, import and manipulate pictures to boxes and backgrounds,
change chart branch styles, and group boxes in your chart by right-clicking on any box. Define an underlying background page that
is common to all chart pages, which allows you to update global changes to your charts from one location.

Define different e-mail distribution lists for each organization chart file and keep everyone up to date on the latest organization
structure additions, changes and open positions.

Annotate your organization charts with comments. Use the “insert comment” command and add notes that relate to a box, branch,
or your entire chart, just like in Microsoft Word. Share your charts with comments freely using OrgPlus Reader.

With sophisticated toolbars and panels, sharing your organizational charts on the Web is easier than ever. HTML publishing includes
a search function and you can even download an .opx (OrgPlus) file directly from an HTML page.

Tree Panel Reorganization

Template and Sample Chart
Business Package

Merge Charts

Duplicate Reporting
Management

New tree panel controls allow you to quickly add, delete and edit records without navigating a cumbersome organization chart.
A holistic view of your organization and simple drag-and-drop controls make cross departmental reorganization, or any sort of mass
change, a breeze.

Abra OrgPlus is loaded with new ready-to-use charts including key business and HR metrics such as financial summary, headcount
report by department, succession plan, gender ratio, span of control, and many more.

The process for planning a company reorganization is easy using Abra OrgPlus. A merge charts feature allows you to automatically
merge two organizational plans into a single chart marking the records that have been changed and the author responsible for
making the change. Company reorganizations that used to take days can now be done in just minutes.

Abra OrgPlus automatically detects alternate managers and includes them as a list in the box of an employee with multiple
managers, giving you the ability to visualize multiple reporting relationships when looking at your true organizational structure.
You can even navigate directly to a specific occurrence of an employee that appears multiple times in a chart.
