Steegle.One Intranet for Google Workspace
In today's fast paced world where organisations are constantly adapting and growing to new educational demands, it can be a great challenge to keep a track of teaching faculty and back-office staff. The problem is be amplified when an individual's at school or college forms part of a much larger institutional arrangement comprising many schools or subunits nationally or even internationally. With potentially hundreds of staff and thousands of students, it can require a small army of people to an keep an up-to-date directory and is practically impossible to make organisational bubble charts using diagramming software like Microsoft Visio or Excel spreadsheets.
But by leveraging the power of Google Workspace, our tool Steegle People for Education allows easy searching of anyone with a Google Workspace account be they staff, contractors, pupils or students. As a cloud based tool, all of the information can be securely accessed irrespective of the location and device, and what's more this can be done automatically! So less stress on overworked HR teams - because if your have a Google Workspace account you have a Steegle People profile!
Steegle People for Google Workspace Directory automatically generates an organization chart for the academic and other staff or a large view of the full organisation if required, with a single click. In a similar way, students or individual classes can be defined. Imagine a teacher starting a new academic year armed with an easy access to an organisational chart of their class of students, without all the manual hassle for administration staff. Drill down and the teacher could see a students self made directory profile, personal interests and up to date photo!
An org chart with pictures brings an online presence to life and works at all levels of the education system, including universities, districts, schools, and even departments. It provides easy to find information about who you need to contact for each issue and (subject to access) can even help parents, pupils and students to figure out how to get things done.
There are many benefits that org charts can bring to schools and educational institutions e.g.

With Steegle People for Google Workspace you do not need any extra software to create the org chart as this is generated automatically from the relationship information contained within Google Workspace, which is normally maintained by your domain administrations in your IT department. If you want to export the org chart you can export to PDF using the print option in Google Chrome.
The organization chart is automatically created from the manager relationship information stored in Google Workspace. Your Google Workspace domain administrator in your IT department will normally keep the user accounts up-to-date so there should not be any additional work to ensure your organizational structure is correctly reflected in the org chart.
If you already have your relations defined in the Google Workspace user database then Steegle People draws the the chart for you without a table. If you want to use another data source other than Google Workspace then you can use your own table in Google Sheets.
If your organization has less than 100 users we offer Steegle People for Google Workspace without any licence fees and only charge an configuration and install fee to ensure the staff directory and org chart meets your needs and works correctly.
Yes Steegle People for Google Workspace uses the Directory API part of Google's Admin SDK which supports custom schemas with fields you can specify yourself. In the feature demonstration video above we show the joining date and birth date and these are both custom fields added to Google Workspace and displayed in the directory. If you want to attach files these can be stored in Google Drive and the links to those files stored in the directory and made available via the org chart of person profile.
We give you a copy of the script for the organizational chart and directory so it runs entirely in your Google Workspace and not on any of our systems or our accounts: the organization chart and directory is completely contained in your Google Workspace and not shared externally. Steegle only needs temporary access to your Google Workspace, via one of your Google Workspace accounts, to configure the org chart generator and directory for you and once configured you can remove our access from your Google Workspace account and grant again if you need ongoing support.
Yes as part of the install and configuration process we can change the look, feel and colour schemes to meet your requirements to give the professional look you need for your corporate style.
No: Steegle People for Google Workspace org chart generator and user directory is completely web-based cloud app and once running in one of your Google Workspace admin accounts does not need any further software to install on client machines or servers.
