Default Org Chart Wizard

Hi,

I am trying to use the org chart wizard to automate the creation of org
charts. The wizard is giving me a few errors, which lead me to believe that,
perhaps, it's user error???

Any ideas?

Hello Judi,

What do the errors say and at what stage do they occur?

Best regards

John

Default Org Chart Wizard

John and Paul,

My 'test' data sheet currently has the following fields:
Name Reports To Phone Cell Phone Office MailStop Section

Here is a step-by-step of what I've done through the wizard:
- Information that's already stored in a file or database.
- A text, Org Plus (*txt), or Microsoft Excel file
- I selected my data sheet
- Name: Name, Reports to: Reports To, First Name (optional): none
- What to display on the shapes: Name
- Columns for my org chart (from data sheet): Name, Phone, Office
- I want to specify how much of my organization to display on each page
- Finish.

Now, of course, this time, since I was typing out my steps, and I've only
used a small selection of people (not the full 300), I got an org chart.
But, it didn't put in all my fields. It only gave me the name. As you see
above, I had selected more fields than just that. Any ideas?
