IU Org Chart

The IU Org Chart tool gives Indiana University employees access to information about appointed staff and academic positions at IU and can display that information in an organizational chart structure. The IU Org Chart lets employees visualize IU's organizational structure, search for individuals to see their relationship to others, see a unit's structure, explore peers, determine reporting structures, and even aid in career planning.

The IU Org Chart tool displays:

  • Organizational structures of units and departments
  • Employee information, including employee name and job title
  • Employee contact information, including email and phone number
  • Unit or department and physical campus location

NOTE: Org charts for academic employees will show employees reporting to the dean or Responsibility Center (RC) head for that school or academic unit. Therefore, the academic employee org charts will not be as detailed as the appointed staff org charts, except for the IU School of Medicine.

You can enable or disable viewing peers inside the IU Org Chart tool. While viewing any Organization Chart, at the upper right, click the “Show Peers of …” slider.

Data and System

What is the IU Org Chart data based on?

All org charts are built using the position “Reports-to” data field in the PeopleSoft Human Resources Management System (HRMS).

When is the IU Org Chart updated?

It is updated each night.

If my supervisor’s position is vacant, who shows up in the IU Org Chart as my supervisor?

For an employee reporting to a vacant position, the employee will automatically roll up to the vacant position’s supervisor on the IU Org Chart. If there is an interim supervisor in place, the employee may want to reach out to their HR Business Partner to ask that the department consider changing the Reports-to data in HRMS to the interim’s position.

My profile information is incorrect, how do I update it?

The only change an employee can make on their own is changing their preferred name. This is done in Employee Self Service using the Personal Details, then Name tiles. 

Any other data changes require a unit or department HR representative to submit an eDoc to make required corrections. If you have data that is incorrect, please contact your unit or department HR representative.

Why are some part-time employees showing up in the IU Org Chart?

In some cases, part-time employees will appear within the IU Org Chart when that position number is listed as a Reports-to for another position.

Why aren’t all part-time employees displayed in the IU Org Chart?

The majority of part-time positions are not included in the org chart because units typically use pooled part-time positions in HRMS. One position has many employees associated with it.

If the Reports-to field is populated by a unit for a part-time employee’s job, it will appear in the IU Org Chart.

For HR Professionals
The IU Org Chart is showing an empty position, how do I remove it?

For any position that is vacant and not needed, the department can temporarily inactivate positions. The department should process a Maintain Position eDoc. In the eDoc, select the “Position Inactivation (INA)” action reason, and from the “Position Status” pull-down menu, select “Temporarily Inactivate.” Once the eDoc is saved to HRMS, please allow the IU Org Chart to update overnight. Once updated, the position will no longer appear within the IU Org Chart. Positions that are temporarily inactivated in HRMS can always be reactivated by processing another Maintain Position eDoc.

How do I update the Reports-to field?

The department will need to submit a Reports-to Update eDoc to change the Reports-to position number to the correct value. For questions or assistance with this, please email .

When should the Reports-to be updated?

When hiring, any Hire eDocs will update within the IU Org Chart and reflect new employees.

Ensure that candidates and team are aware of the hire prior to processing the Hire eDoc so that other employees do not learn about the hire through the IU Org Chart.

Are departments allowed to use a screen shot of the Org Chart for eDoc approval?

Yes, screen shots of the IU Org Chart may be attached to and used for eDoc approval if the Reports-to is accurate for the position(s).

What if the Reports-to field contains the person assigned to approve ePTO, not the supervisor?

In some cases, the Reports-to value was updated to reflect the person responsible for approving an ePTO calendar, NOT the actual supervisor. In these cases, please have the ePTO administrator submit a support request to set up a delegate in ePTO to handle the calendar approval process.
