Features

OrgNice connects to your Google Sheets roster and gives you two things from one Sheet: a staff directory you can browse and search, and an org chart that shows who reports to whom. Both update whenever the Sheet changes.

In short

Your Sheet stays the source of truth. OrgNice reads it on every view, so there is no import and no sync step.
Setup takes about a minute. AI maps your columns and configures fields, profiles, colours and a theme for you.
Share with named people, your organisation, or anyone with a link. Embed in Confluence, Google Sites, an intranet or Sheets itself.
The price is flat per project, not per person, so volunteers and contractors cost nothing extra.

Live, not imported

Most staff directory and org chart tools take your data once. OrgNice stays connected to it.

Every time someone opens your directory or org chart, OrgNice reads the current state of your Google Sheet. When someone joins, leaves or changes role, every card and profile reflects it straight away. There is no “update directory” button, because there is nothing to update. There is only your Sheet, and views that mirror it.

The OrgNice demo staff roster open as a Google Sheet, with one row per person and columns for name, title, reporting line, department, building and location — This is all you maintain: one row per person in a Google Sheet.

Configured on first connection

You never start from a blank canvas. Connect your Sheet and OrgNice analyses the names, reporting lines and titles, then builds a complete org chart and directory. The analyser copes with inconsistent data and corrects unexpected values, so the chart is accurate in almost all cases. You can adjust the column mapping at any point.

On top of the core structure, OrgNice’s AI sets up:

Additional fields: job titles, departments, locations, emails and phone numbers, pre-filled on cards and profiles.
Staff profiles: contact details, location, working pattern and other relevant fields, ready in under a minute.
Profile images: if your data has image URLs (web or Google Drive), they are configured automatically.
Theme: a visual theme (Corporate, Dark, Personal, Minimalist and more) chosen to suit your data.
Layers: categorical columns such as department, team or location, ready to colour-code by.

You get a summary of everything that was configured and can change any of it.

Staff directory

A searchable, browsable directory of everyone in your organisation, built from your Sheet.

Cards coloured by department, with a profile panel open beside them.

Card and table layouts

Browse as a card grid or switch to a compact table. Cards show each person’s name, title, department and any other fields you choose. Colour layers apply to both layouts, so the directory and the org chart look consistent.

Staff profiles

Click anyone to open their profile: contact details, location, department, working pattern, reporting relationships and any custom fields from your Sheet. “Reports To” links move from profile to profile without leaving the directory. Photos show up when configured.

Profile pages

Every person also has their own page at a stable, bookmarkable URL, with no login needed when the project is shared publicly. Use it for deep links in Slack, email and wikis. Open Graph metadata means those links unfurl with the person’s name and photo.

Embed the directory

Embed the directory as an iframe in Confluence, Google Sites, your intranet or anywhere else that accepts one. It stays current without re-embedding when people join or leave.

Org chart

Your reporting hierarchy, drawn automatically from the same Sheet. No diagramming.

Navigate easily: zoom, pan and expand or collapse subtrees. Click any node to open the full profile panel.
Search jumps to the chart: picking a result takes you to that person’s node.
One set of reporting lines: the same data drives the chart and the “Reports To” links in the directory.
Layers: colour nodes by department, location, employment type or any categorical field, using the same configuration as the directory.
Embed it: the same iframe approach as the directory, and the embed always shows the latest org.

Map View

Preview feature, Plus plan, directory only (not shown in embeds).

See where your people are. Map View is a third way to view the directory, alongside cards and table. Each place becomes a pin showing how many people are there, and clicking it lists those people as the same cards you already know. It works from a column of place names, coordinates or Google Maps links. You can set up to five named map views per project, such as “Office” and “Site”. Details are in the Map View guide.

OrgNice Map View showing people as clustered pins on a world map, with a list of the people at the selected places — Map View groups people by place; picking a search result zooms to their pin.

Make it yours

Visual customisation: colours, borders and layout, to match your brand or the page you embed into.
Additional fields: show any column from your Sheet on cards: titles, departments, contact info, links to bios, current project and more. See additional fields.
Layers: colour-code by any categorical field and configure several layers for multi-dimensional views. See Layers.
Profile images: from public URLs, public Google Drive files, or private Drive files shared with OrgNice’s service account. Size, shape, layout and borders are configurable. See profile images.

Search & discovery

Search works across both the directory and the org chart. Find anyone by name, title, ID or any field, including contact info, location, department and custom fields.

Results appear as you type, ranked by relevance.
Typos, accents and spelling variants are forgiven, so “Jon” can find Jan or John, and it works across scripts.
Each result shows which field matched, and picking it opens the profile at that field.
People who share a value, such as a team or city, are grouped. Open the group to walk through its members.
On the map, picking a result zooms to that person’s pin.
Start typing anywhere to search, and use the keyboard to move through results.

Whoever you share with always sees the latest state of your Sheet. Nothing needs re-sharing after an org change.

Share with specific people or your whole organisation, or make a project public. Unique share links work for anyone without a Google account; they are view-only and can be revoked instantly. That suits clients, contractors and partners outside your organisation.

Embed

Inside Google Sheets with the OrgNice Google Sheets Add-on
In wikis such as Confluence, or tools such as Salesforce
On your internal website or intranet
In Google Sites

An embedded directory or chart never needs re-embedding after a team change.

Export

Export the org chart to SVG, PNG or PDF for emails, slides or print.

Your data stays in Google

OrgNice reads your Sheet through Google’s standard OAuth: you grant access explicitly and can revoke it at any time. No copy of your roster is stored on OrgNice’s servers. The directory and chart are generated fresh from your Sheet on every view, so there is nothing to breach, sync or expire. Profile images are cached temporarily, and Map View caches place names with no people attached. The full list of what is and isn’t stored is in IT and security.
