Abstract
Techniques are described for dynamically adjusting the layout of an organizational chart being presented inside a browser window. Adjusting the layout of the organization chart has certain advantages such as ensuring that the organizational chart can be displayed in the browser window with minimal scrolling. The direct reports of a manager can be presented as a matrix in the organizational chart when the manager is selected. In one example, the layout of the matrix can be a vertical vector or a two dimensional vector depending on the number of direct reports the manager has. In another example, the layout of the matrix can change depending on the space available within the browser window to display the matrix. In other examples, the organizational chart can also be scaled based on the screen resolution or screen size of the client device that is presenting the organizational chart.
