- PAN Reports – The Personnel Action Report converts your actions into HR transactions. After modeling your new organization, you can use the PAN Reports to bring your changes back to your HR team for processing. It is also possible to export the track changes data in a format that can be read by MS Word’s mailmerge functionality so you can design your own PAN Reports.

Build: 812 Release Notes
Summary:
OrgPlus 8.0 includes several new features and resolves issues as described below. OrgPlus 8 is the base for all future OrgPlus software development. Future enhancements and bug fixes will be documented in these release notes.
Enhancements/Resolved Issues:
- Send to OrgPlus OnDemand: You can now send your charts to OrgPlus OnDemand. OrgPlus OnDemand is a new web 2.0 application hosted by HumanConcepts that allows you to create and share charts using only your internet browser.
- Automatic Branch Style Optimization: OrgPlus now allows you to pick from one of four automatic branch style optimization methods. Each branch within your chart is automatically reformatted to achieve optimal layout.
- Improved Conditional Formats: You can now use conditional formats to control the visibility of individual cells within chart boxes. This dramatically reduces the amount of effort required to create charts that highlights multiple conditions with the same box.
- Multi-column, multi-record boxes: You can now create multi-column, multi-record chart boxes. This is especially useful for charting supervisors that have a large number of subordinates.
- Formula Enhancements: OrgPlus can now be configured to automatically hide zero value formulas. For example, a headcount calculation can be automatically hidden if an employee has no subordinates.
- Automatic Archiving: You can now automatically archive a chart when you refresh data. You can also control how often your charts are archived (for example, on a daily or weekly basis).
- Comparison reports: The verbose report option within the compare charts dialog allows you to create easily readable change reports. Verbose change reports can then be used for manual update of an HR system or for discussion purposes.
- Summary Panel: The summary panel allows you to easily view statistics about an organizational chart. Examples include, total headcount, head count breakdown by gender, and headcount breakdown by job function.
- Color Scheme Options: You can now choose from three color schemes to display the OrgPlus 8 interface: Microsoft Office 2007 Silver, Blue, or Black.
