  • View → Choose between card and list view types to best match your content's presentation style.

  • Elements to display → With a valid Cosmos license, you can customize People cards to include information like position and department, thanks to the Employee database. This feature lets you add specific details to each people card.

People

The Manual Org Charts widget allows for the addition of team members directly in the preview area as well as in the configuration drawer. While adding people can be done in both places, reordering them and assigning to different levels is exclusively handled in the drawer, offering structured customization of your organization's chart.

Design

The Design tab, powered by Optics, is accessible for users holding a valid Optics license and offers a suite of options to make the Spaces overview more captivating.

  • Border radius → Modify the border radius for a softer or more defined edge to the Spaces cards, allowing for customization that matches your brand or style preferences.

  • Color → The feature lets you choose a color for the connecting lines in the org chart, making it easy to customize the look of your organizational structure.
