1. Administrative
Does each editor need his own individual license?
Yes, each editor needs his own user account. You can create an unlimited number of editors. Five of them are free of charge. Each additional editor is 5€/month.
If orginio is not accessed by single sign-on, every user’s e-mail address is saved with in the orginio settings. The initial password is automatically transmitted to this e-mail address. After the first registration the password has to be changed.
Is the monthly settlement obligatory or is an annual invoice also possible?
The accounting for orginio needs to be done monthly. This comes with an important advantage for you: When issuing your invoice we consider the actual usage for the respective month. We calculate the monthly average count of the most common object type (org units, positions or employees) and use that as calculation basis. Likewise, we calculate the monthly average count of editors. Due to the consumption-dependent billing a precalculation is not possible.
Which documentations are available for orginio clients?
Based on customer inquiries we created our example and favorite feature site. On these two sites you will find numerous descriptions of use cases, which are updated and extended regularly. You can open the orginio manual in English and German in the orginio application (click for animation):

Yes, when in edit mode, you can add additional information from other files, such as further Excel files, by clicking “Data import” from the main menu. Select or drag & drop the file from which you would like to import data. If the data contains additional information for departments, positions, or persons already in your orginio org chart, make sure the data contains a unique identifier (e.g. personnel number or email address) to match the new information to the existing one. During the data import process, choose the option “additional import” to merge the data with your current org chart.
