Organization structure
You can describe your company’s entire hierarchy in the ogranization chart. You can add divisions, deputies, roles that contain every employee in a department, and more.
To access the organization structure catalog, go to the Org chart tab.
Note: Only Administrator can edit the Organizational Chat catalog.
By default, the Org Chat is expressed as a diagram, the so-called chart view (see screenshot above). From chart view, you can switch to tree or table views. The switch is in the top right corner of the screen.
Pyrus Tip: if your organization has more than 250 employees, the Org Chart will only be displayed in hierarchical or tabular form.
Pyrus Tip: if your organization structure has several hierarchy levels, you need to manually create those levels first in the Pyrus orgchart first. Pyrus Sync will show the user attributes from Active Directory that will be added to the Pyrus organization structure during synchronization. Read more about this in the Synchronizing Pyrus with Microsoft Active Directory article.

Adding an orgstructure from an Excel file
If the organization has a large structure, the best thing to do is add it from an Excel file.
Important: build the company hierarchy from right to left, so that the departments column is to the right of the column with the department's subdivisions.
Then, click Import in the upper right corner of the screen and upload the file.
