Everyone in your workspace can browse the Linky org chart, open anyone's profile and see who reports to whom. Linky is the BuddiesHR org chart app for Slack. To open the chart, see open the org chart.

Open someone's profile#

Click a person's picture or name. The Profile panel opens on the right with:

their picture and name,
their Manager and number of Direct reports,
every profile field your admins turned on. Empty fields show a dash, required fields are marked with *, and fields that come from Slack show the Slack logo.

If someone has no department of their own, the panel shows the department they inherit from their manager. See set up departments.

A small red dot at the top right of someone's card means a required field is missing from their profile.
