Problem
Which publishing option is right for me?

Solution
OrgPublisher offers multiple output options for distributing chart content.  You can publish non- interactive charts, interactive org charts with an OrgPublisher plugin, and cross-browser interactive org charts.

• Advance Mode publishing allows the chart administrator more configurability options to customize the functionality of the published chart; use this option instead of Express Mode publishing for best results

Non-interactive charts:
These are ideal for printing and have limited capabilities, to publish a static PDF, HTML, or Graphic (gif), select the “Org Chart Document” option in the advance mode publishing wizard.

Interactive charts:
These are the most popular methods of distributing data because of the highly user-friendly, feature rich usability that is supported with interactive charts.  Iteractive charts include:

PluginX: Requires an OrgPublisher plugin x that will only run in a 32-bit Internet Explorer browser. PluginX charts are ideal for:

1. Most organizations that are charting 5,000 or less records/boxes
2. Organizations that do not need to limit features availability to particular users or limit viewing of chart data based on roles
   Security consideration:  PluginX only offers the ability to set a single password on the entire chart

EChart: Requires that charts be published on a web server that is ISAPI compliant in order to run DLLs. Echart does support application security.

There are 2 types of Echarts:
Echart Rich: Requires an OrgPublisher plugin x that will only run in a 32-bit browser

EChart Rich charts are ideal for:

1.  Large organizations that are charting more than 5,000 records/boxes
2. Organizations that require application level security

           -Role level: Users only see a certain portion of the hierarchy and can’t drill up to higher portions of               the chart

           -Data fields: fields can be secured to only be visible in the portion of the chart under the viewer’s                 hierarchy

            -Functionality: this includes the ability to who has access to features such as printing, copying,                     planning, views… etc.

            -Styles: Styles are tabbed views within the same chart that may display different data elements.                    These can be secured to specific users

EChart Thin: Does not require an OrgPublisher plugin

EChart Thin charts are ideal for:

1. Customers that want an interactive cross-browser viewable chart
2. Organizations that require application level security

Cross-Browser: Does not require the OrgPublisher viewing plugin which means you can view the chart in Chrome, Edge, Safari, FireFox, and Internet Explorer
