The Grouping tab offers ways to break down larger charts into hyperlinked Divisions (also known as sub–charts). Other grouping functions let you optimize chart space, to show as many boxes as possible on a given page.
Grouping Tab: Divisions
- Create Division – Select any manager with subordinates. The Create Division command will create a separate hyperlinked chart page. Division boxes have a large arrow in the lower portion of the box. Clicking on this arrow displays the subordinate boxes.
- Dismiss Division – Select any Division box. This command will eliminate the hyperlinked chart page, showing all of the subordinate boxes on the same page with the manager.
- Division Wizard – Using this wizard you can automatically set division pagination for the entire chart file.
- Save to File – Select a box that is a division. This command creates a chart file with only the detail for the selected division.
- Append File – Adds boxes and associated data from another chart file.
- Show Division View – Displays the list of Divisions in the lower pane of the application.
- Division Rename Wizard – Any data field can be used to name the divisions appearing in the outline view. The result from this wizard shows in the division view and the Division Title autotext field.
