Understanding Projects, Charts, and Templates

The following is a brief overview of some of the concepts used in OrgPlus.

About Projects and Charts

An OrgPlus project contains one or more charts stored on disk as a single file. Multiple charts per project allow you to create different views of the same data. For example, one chart within a project could show the current structure of an organization while another chart could display the proposed structure of an organization.

About Templates

A template defines all the formatting parameters for a chart. Applying a template sets the formats for chart elements, such as boxes and lines. Using templates saves you the effort of formatting each individual chart element. Using templates in OrgPlus is similar to using templates in Microsoft PowerPoint or Word.
