Hierarchy Chart Maker

Open a Hierarchy Chart Template:

Start by selecting one of Creately’s pre-designed hierarchy chart templates to get a clear structure in place. You can also create a new workspace and enable the relevant shape library to build a hierarchy chart from scratch within the Creately app.

Add Roles and Levels:

Use the hierarchy chart builder’s intuitive drag-and-drop feature to add roles, positions, or levels. Simply drag shapes onto the canvas and arrange them to represent reporting lines or relationships within the hierarchy.

Advanced Tip: Use Creately’s data import feature to automatically populate the hierarchy chart by uploading data from sources such as spreadsheets or CSV files, allowing you to quickly generate and update complex hierarchies without manual setup.

Customize and Add Details:

Customize your hierarchy chart by adjusting colors, shapes, and fonts to match your needs. Use notes panels, sticky notes, icons, or images to add context, responsibilities, or supporting information to each role, improving clarity and readability.

Connect, Align, and Collaborate:

Use smart connectors to link different parts of the hierarchy chart. These connectors automatically adjust as changes are made, keeping the structure organized. Share the chart with your team and collaborate in real time using live cursors, comments, and instant updates.

Review, Update, and Share:

Review the hierarchy chart, make updates as needed, and ensure accuracy. Once finalized, export the chart in formats such as PDF or PNG, or share it directly from Creately to present or collaborate with stakeholders.
