Moving Boxes

There may be occasions when users need to manually move a box in their org chart from one location to another, manually. This process is straightforward in OrgChart Platinum.

Moving Boxes: Preparation

To move a box in OrgChart Platinum in the traditional way, follow these steps:

1. First, select Move Box mode from the Home tab.   

2. Select a box by left-clicking on it. Green arrows will show the directions in which the box can be moved.

3. Move a box by clicking on one of the green arrows and dragging. In the example below, we have moved the box with the Open position down one level.

NOTE: If users manually move a box which is connected to a manager by a dotted line relationship, they will need to manually readjust the position of the box if they change the arrangement style for their chart.

Moving Boxes: Free Box Move Mode

To freely move a box in OrgChart (without constraint from green arrows), follow these steps:

1. Right-click on the box you wish to move. From the menu, select Arrange Style and then Move mode.  

2. You may now move the box in any direction, as desired.
