View Organizational Structure with Root Selection

December 23, 2025
KWIZ Dataview Plus version 1.6 adds org chart root selection, letting users refocus on any person to view manager, colleagues, and persona cards.

KWIZ Data View Plus products are a flexible solution for retrieving and displaying multiple data source types in modern, responsive, and fully customizable user interfaces, including KWIZ Calendar Plus, KWIZ Org. Chart, KWIZ List View Plus, KWIZ List Aggregator, and KWIZ Picture Gallery. Built for developers and solution architects, the suite supports consistent data presentation across calendars, org structures, lists, and galleries with extensible configuration to match application requirements. It helps teams deliver faster, clearer data experiences for use cases such as employee directories, project and resource scheduling, consolidated list reporting, and visual content browsing in enterprise applications.

The KWIZ Dataview Plus 1.6 update improves org chart usability by allowing the chart root to be reset to any selected person, so the UI can immediately refocus on that person’s manager, colleagues, and subordinates. For developers implementing or extending the component, this reduces the need to build custom navigation patterns for deep hierarchies and supports faster exploration of reporting structures with fewer expansion actions. It also preserves existing selection behavior, so opening persona views or customized cards continues to work as expected when users interact with nodes, helping teams add richer detail panels without sacrificing navigation speed or consistency.

KWIZ Dataview Plus is licensed on an annual basis, requiring each user in your organization to be covered by an Annual Subscription license. Different levels are available to cater for different numbers of users. See our KWIZ Dataview Plus licensing page for full details.

Structure Complex Diagrams with Layered Views

December 3, 2025
JointJS+ 4.2 introduces a flexible Layers API that improves diagram organization, visibility control, and interactivity management.

JointJS+ is a diagramming library that offers advanced features like custom shapes, data binding, and advanced layout algorithms, enabling you to create complex, interactive, and visually appealing diagrams. It includes a ready-to-use demo application that showcases its functionality and serves as a starting point for your own diagramming projects.

The JointJS+ 4.2 update introduces a redesigned Layers API that gives developers more control over diagram structure, interaction, and presentation by allowing cells to be grouped into independent layers with their own attributes, stacking context, and event flow. This enables clearer organization of complex graphs, more predictable z-index behavior, and the ability to apply targeted styling, filters, and animations at the layer level, all while maintaining backward-compatible event handling for smoother integration into existing applications.

Visualize Data with Interactive Diagrams

September 18, 2025
Turn complex structures like org charts and workflows into clear, dynamic visuals that are easy to update and understand.

Diagrams in UI toolkits help turn complex data into easy-to-understand visuals that teams can interact with. For example, organizational charts show company structures and reporting lines in a layout that can be updated automatically from HR data. These charts can be expanded, collapsed, or reorganized with drag-and-drop tools, making it easier to understand team relationships and keep information up to date. Diagrams can also be used for workflows, decision trees, and network maps, giving teams a clear, flexible way to present and manage information.

Several React UI suites offer diagram controls including:

  • DevExtreme Complete by DevExpress lets you build interactive diagrams, including organizational charts, process flows, and network structures, with responsive layouts.
  • SmartClient by Isomorphic Software facilitates advanced diagramming, supporting hierarchical org charts, decision trees, and workflow visualizations.
  • Syncfusion Essential Studio Enterprise allows you to create rich diagrams with data binding, automatic layouts, and interactive editing for diverse enterprise applications.
