ClarisImpact: How to Change Field Names in Organization Charts

Just how do you change the default names for the fields in an organization chart?

Q. I am currently using Element Styles to edit or add a field to a Position in an Organizational Chart but I cannot figure out how to change the name of the fields. I can put a new field on the Position but I cannot give it a new name.

A. Field names are not changed in Element Styles. To change a field name choose Level Settings... from the OrgChart menu. In the resulting dialog box you will see a section for Default Values. Pop-up the menu in that section and choose Field Prompts.

The resulting dialog will let you modify field names.

NOTE: It is not possible to add a new field. You can only modify the field names that are already listed.
