One of the first and most important functions to complete in Comidor is the Organizational Chart. Organizational Chart represents the structure of the company and based on its accuracy ensures that company information flows correctly.

To ensure that the Organizational Chart is fully functional, users/personnel must be added to groups. Therefore it is good practice to add users/personnel prior to creating groups.
