downloadExporting Data from Directory

Getting data out of Directory for analysis, presentations, and reports

Export organizational data from Directory, Org Chart, and Workforce Hub for analysis, presentations, and reports.

Export Formats

CSV — Raw data from the current view; respects active filters and visible columns. Best for Excel/Sheets analysis, BI tools, and importing into other systems.

PowerPoint — Org chart structured as slides (one slide per manager). Best for executive presentations and leadership reviews.

JPEG/PNG — Screenshot of the current org chart view. Best for quick sharing, email, or embedding in documents.

Exporting from Directory

  1. Apply filters to narrow data

  2. Customize visible columns (show/hide, reorder) — exports include only visible columns

  3. Sort as desired

  4. Click Export > CSV

Admin export templates: Admins can configure standardized export templates with preset columns and filters for one-click exports used across the team.

Exporting from Org Chart

JPEG — Apply highlights and adjust zoom/layout, then Export > JPEG.

Best Practices

  • Filter and customize columns before exporting — don't export everything and filter in Excel

  • Include the export date in filenames: Engineering-Roster-2026-02-20.csv

  • Handle salary and personal data according to your organization's data security policies

Troubleshooting

Problem
Solution

Columns missing from export

Check column settings — only visible columns are exported

Too much data

Apply filters before exporting

Org chart looks different than screen

Use Fit to Screen first; adjust layout before exporting

PowerPoint has too many slides

Filter to a smaller scope (one department or top layers)

Missing people

Check active filters; clear them and try again
