Showing hierarchy with the condensed view

[former_member1003238]

Hello

We have a bit more than 40 orgunits under the root object. This hierarchy is displayed in 5 rows and 9 columns in the Nakisa OrgChart 4.1.

             O

O O O O O O O O

O O O O O O O O

O O O O O O O O

O O O O O O O

How can we change this view to get 9 rows and 5 columns?

Thanks an advance.

I think the majority of people's screens are set in a landscape orientation (wider than they are tall) and Nakisa have most likely based their layout algorithms on this for the combined (and presumably condensed) layout styles.  It is also the convention for printing out org charts as they tend to form a shallow pyramid ... though I'm sure we've all seen organisational structures which are perhaps a few too many levels deep. 

I haven't seen any way to affect the any of the style layout methods in the configuration.  Maximum numbers of nodes per page and sizing of boxes, but nothing about how OrgChart decides how they are laid out.  Perhaps I haven't dug deep enough to find out, but I have a feeling that you would probably have to engage directly with Nakisa to get such a customisation.

Regards,

Stephen.

Hello Millard

Sorry for delay with my answer.

We have reduced the maximum number of nodes per pages and now we wait for our client's response.

Thank you for your solution.

I would suggest changing the style configuration.

e.g. look in AppResources\styleconfiguration

There is an XML file for each style.e.g.

combined center.xml

Within it is a parameter

<dropdownlimit><![CDATA[5]]></dropdownlimit>

Change it to 9, put a copy of this file in you .delta and publish.

Turns out I should have dug deeper eh?

Hello Stephen

Thank you for your advice but unfortunately it did not help us. Within this parameter we had <![CDATA[100]]> but Nakisa did not react.

Bit short of time to double check this myself but the only other parameter I can think of that is worth a try is in orgchartconfiguration.

<gridsize>5</gridsize>

Does altering this parameter affect the layout?
