Integrate Org Chart whiteboard template with Aha user list

What is the challenge?

Org charts are time-consuming to create and maintain, and therefore often contain outdated information that defeats the purpose of the org chart.

What is the impact?

Improve efficiency and team collaboration. Increase the value and useability of an existing tool.

Describe your idea

It would be super useful to have an integration between the Org Chart whiteboard template, and the existing picklists of users in Aha. For example, let's say we have 100 users in our company, all using Aha. It would be great to be able to create an Org Chart of those 100 users directly from the list of users (drag and drop), vs having to essentially create an org chart from scratch.

An extension of this idea could be that in the user's account, there could be fields for "manager" and "role", etc, so that keeping the chart updated is as easy as updating the user account. User leaves the company? Delete their account and they automatically fall off the org chart. User changes roles, or a new user joins the team? As their account is created or updated, they are automatically added to the chart or their place on the chart is updated.

Here's the original Idea for an Org Chart whiteboard template: https://big.ideas.aha.io/ideas/A-I-14811

    A further extension of this idea would be to allow adding users to the org chart from picklists of users within Aha workspaces (i.e. Product Managers, Business Owners, Program Managers, etc...)

    Of course the org chart must allow manual entries as well, in the event that the org chart needs to show someone who is not an Aha user or assigned to any picklists in Aha.
