Zenpo Org Chart

Zenpo Org Chart draws a living organization chart from a SharePoint list or a CSV file that you control. It does not use Microsoft Graph. It does not wire to Azure AD. You map columns to roles and describe who reports to whom.

Find it in the web part picker under News, people and events, or type Zenpo. It runs on SharePoint Online modern pages only.

What it does​

The web part reads people rows from a list on the current site, or from a .csv file in a document library on the same site. It then draws one tree at a time: nodes, reporting lines, search, focus, zoom, and an optional PNG export.

Microsoft's own chart cannot draw every structure this part can. Dual reporting lines, external people, and a hierarchy you define in your list or file are first-class.

For staff lookup by name, department, or location, use Zenpo People Directory. For team milestone dates, see Zenpo Birthdays and Anniversaries.

Key capabilities​

  • SharePoint list or CSV. A list can use a Manager (lookup) column or ID + ParentID columns. A CSV always uses ID + Parent ID. See Hierarchy models.
  • No Graph, no directory wiring. The chart shows the list or file you point it at, as the signed-in user.
  • Dual reporting. A person can report to more than one manager. The extra position is marked ⇄.
  • External people. Map an External marker. Those cards get a dashed outline. They stay in the tree, in search, in counts, and in the export.
  • Focus mode. Click a person to see their chain, up to four peers, and their reports, plus Email and Teams chat when Email is mapped.
  • Zoom, pan, collapse. Zoom from 30% to 200%, fit the chart, expand the canvas, and collapse branches.
  • PNG export. Download the chart as an image from Full tree mode when PNG export is on.

Limits​

  • A source larger than 5,000 people is refused, not truncated. The message is This roster contains more than 5000 people. Refine the source or use a smaller organizational scope.
  • Above 3,000 people, a notice appears: {N} people loaded. Expanding every branch or exporting the full chart may take a few seconds.
  • Charts read best at up to about 500 visible nodes. A 5,000-person roster can load. This Help does not promise that a full 5,000-node chart will feel fast to expand or export.
  • CSV files must be .csv only, not XLSX or TXT, and must live in a document library in the same site. See Use an HR System (HRIS) CSV Export with Zenpo Web Parts.
  • The selected View filter and item limit apply before the chart sees rows. A reader only sees people their SharePoint permissions allow.
