# Org Chart chart in Figma

> Reporting lines, drawn as a tree of cards

An org chart is a tree with a specific convention: boxes carry a name and a role, and the lines are reporting relationships. Because the boxes hold text rather than a value, it is the one hierarchy chart people read as a document.

## Available in 1 of 5 chart libraries

| Library | Ready-made examples |
| --- | --- |
| Highcharts | 2 |

2 examples in total.

These are the real charting libraries running inside the plugin, not redrawn lookalikes. The org chart chart on your canvas is the library's own output, and the Export tab hands developers that same library's configuration plus React, Vue, Angular or Svelte code — so what you design is what gets built.

## Reach for it when

- Team structures, approval chains, ownership maps.
- Every node needs a label and a subtitle rather than a number.

## Use something else when

- You want to encode a measure — org charts have nowhere to put it.
- The organisation is a matrix; a tree will misrepresent it.

## The data it needs

Per row: the person, who they report to, and their title.

| Name | Reports to | Title |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Ada |   | CEO |
| Grace | Ada | CTO |
| Alan | Grace | Engineering Lead |
