Insert an organizational chart in D2L

Question

How do I insert an organizational chart in D2L?

Answer

You can insert a picture and other graphics by using icons in the Title and Content layout. These include an icon for SmartArt graphics, and these graphics offer org chart layouts as well as all other layouts for diagrams in PowerPoint. When you click the SmartArt icon, you get a full gallery of the graphical layouts available.

Org charts and other graphics now have a Text pane in which you can type the text for the chart and work with it outside of the chart's shapes. This is convenient if you prefer not to type directly in the chart.

Working with a New Org Chart: 

  • The org chart adopts the colors of the applied theme
  • A Text pane appears next to the chart, and you can type text there
  • Text you type in the text pane maps appears in the chart as you type

Convert Text to New Org Chart:

  1. Highlight the bulleted list that you wish to convert to an org chart 
  2. On the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click on Convert to SmartArt
  3. This will prompt you to choose what type of chart you desire
  4. Select the appropriate chart and click on it
