You can save what you see on the org chart as a PNG image, or copy a link that opens the org chart on a selected person. Both are useful for onboarding, planning and audits.
Who can use this: anyone who can open the org chart on the Day.io web platform. The image shows only people you can see on the org chart. A link shows each person who opens it only the people their own permission role allows.
How do I download the org chart as an image?
- Set up the view you want. Open the teams, zoom and apply the filters you need. The org chart image shows exactly the part of the org chart that is on your screen.
- Select Download image (the picture icon at the top right of the org chart).
- Find the file. When Image downloaded appears, the PNG is in your browser's downloads, named org-chart-YYYY-MM-DD.png with the day's date.
The org chart image includes the cards and lines as they look on screen, grayed cards included. It leaves out the Org chart card, the legend, the zoom controls and the minimap. On a very large org chart, the image can take a few seconds.
If Couldn't create the image. Try another browser. appears, open the org chart in another browser and download it again.
How do I share a link to the org chart?
- Select a person if you want the link to open on them. Without a selected person, the link opens the org chart as it first loads.
- Select More (the three dots at the top right) and then Copy link to this view.
- Paste the link where you need it. Link copied confirms it's ready.
When someone opens the org chart link, the org chart opens on the selected person and shows their details. This works only if that person is part of what the recipient is allowed to see. Otherwise the org chart opens with nobody selected. The link never shows the recipient more than their own permission role allows, and filters aren't part of the link.
If Couldn't copy the link. Try again. appears, your browser blocked the copy. Allow clipboard access for the site, or copy the address from the browser's address bar.
Best practices
- Before you download, collapse the teams you don't need and use Fit to screen, so the image holds only the part you want.
- Share a link instead of an image when people need the current org chart. The link opens the live org chart, and each person sees only what their role allows.
- Select a person before you copy the link, so the org chart opens on them.
Common questions
Can I download the whole org chart in one image?
No. The org chart image covers only what is on your screen. To include more people, zoom out or use Fit to screen before you select Download image.
Can someone outside my company open my org chart link?
The org chart link opens Day.io, so the person must sign in, and they see only the people their own permission role allows on the org chart. A person in the link who they can't see isn't selected.
