Visualization
Rule-Sets*
| Active rules override default colors and

graphically compare and contrast boxes within a chart.

for complete control of how information is displayed in a
box including fonts, colors, sizes, and alignment.

Layouts*

different hierarchical, matrix, or directory layout for the
direct reports.
|
| Custom Boxes
*
| Each box in a chart can use a different
shape, style, fill, and data template to graphically
visualize information.
|
Multiple
Box Shapes*
| Boxes can either be a rectangle, a rounded
rectangle, or an octagon. Box shapes can be set
individually based on data attributes.

Multiple
Edge Types*

the navigation buttons, leaving a skeleton that shows the
overall chart structure.

displays a series of lines instead of the template. Can be
used for undefined positions, or to hide details.

define each of the tables that can be charted.
