# Organisation Charts

Organisation charts show hierarchical structure with a single root. They can't, unfortunately, be used for family trees because they can only have one root, and the branches cannot merge.

| Query Requirements | **Column 1: Text - name  Column 2: Text - manager  Column 3: Text - (optional) tooltip**   The query must return at least the first two columns, the third is optional. For the topmost node, the manager column should be an empty string. |
|---|---|
| Multiple Plots | **No** |
| Axis Overrides | **No** |
| Data Formatting | **No** |
| Extra Columns | **No**  The tooltip column is optional but no extra column needs to be defined. |

The "Cell Object" syntax can be used to provide formatting for the names. In the example above, the first node name is defined as `{v:'Mike', f:'Mike<div style="color:red; font-style:italic">President</div>'}`.

If you use HTML in the formatted name or in the tooltip you must specify the extra option ",allowHtml:true".
