    • “COMMAND” + “Mouse move Up/Down” to move department in same or across department groups (if mouse is on the “photo” column of selected the department, no need to press “COMMAND” key, just click to move mouse up/down to change department sequence).
    • “OPTION” + “Left KEY / Right KEY” to move selected department in SAME department group.

  For example to change the layout property

  

OrgChart organizes departments in a tree structure, except the top level department, every department should connect and only can connect to one parent department.

For the case, if we have reporting relationship that the organization level of the child department is lower more than parent department. For example a three levels of organization structure:

• CEO <-- Director <-- Department Head
• But some department heads directly report to CEO

For this case, we can add a virtual department (with different display style) between the CEO and the department heads, as following an example:

• Click “Create new department” button at bottom of outline panel - For the purpose to continously input departments as child of the root department efficiently
• Select a department, and then type “+” to add a new department as child - After new department added, the new department will be selected.
• Click the “+” icon on the selected block on Chart panel - The new department will not be selected (you can select to use this or preceding method if need to select or not select the new department).
• Type “OPTION” + “+” to add a new department NEXT to selected department
• Drag from macOS contact app
• Copy/Paste and Drag/Drop inner the app

When opening a .org file, if we get an error message like following, please manually change the file extension from "org" to "orgx".

• The issue is because that one another app on your Mac registered the ".org" file extension as the file type named "org-mode" for other purposes. When opening the .org file using the OrgChart app, the macOS sends incorrect data to the OrgChart app.
• Unfortunately, there is no tool found to change the file extension registration information in the macOS system.
• It is out of the control of the OrgChart app, as OrgChart is running in the sandbox environment with limited permission.
• Fortunately, the ".orgx" file extension is not be used by other apps until now.

• ⇧⌥⌘ → (Shift + Option + Command + Right) to expand all groups
• ⇧⌥⌘ ← (Shift + Option + Command + Left) to collapse all groups
• Or put five fingers on the touch pad (do not need to click, just put the fingers on the pad together)
