Scenarios
ChartHop scenarios help you visualize potential changes to your organization so that you can project and analyze the costs and impact of those changes before putting them into effect.
When you create a scenario, you create a proposal in which you can collaborate with other stakeholders (such as leadership team members or HR business partners) for better transparency.Â
You can use scenarios to plan potential changes to the hiring plan, backfills, promotions, organizational structure, or all of the above.
Any changes you propose in a scenario (including new jobs, reorganization, and terminations) are contained within the scenario and only you as a scenario owner have access to those proposed changes. You can share a scenario with others and control the level of permissions they have to view and edit your scenario.

Your scenario and all changes within the scenario are not visible to the rest of your organization or put into effect until the scenario is merged to Primary. Learn more.ďťż
To access scenarios, select Planning from the left sidebar.
You can view an existing scenario or select Create Scenario to create your own. The list displays only scenarios that youâve created or that have been shared with you.
You can also filter the scenarios that display on any of these tabs by the following:
- Created by - Choose Anyone to view all scenarios you have access to, regardless of who created it, or choose Me to view only scenarios youâve created. You can also select the name of another employee.
- Review status - Filter the scenarios that display based on review status.
- Keyword - Filter the scenarios that display by entering specific keywords.

Depending on your organizationâs settings, you may be required to send your scenario for review and approval before any changes can be made official.Â
Once a scenario has been approved, scenario changes can be merged into your organization's primary Org Chart.
If you are merging data that is also updated by your HRIS, if you merge the changes before you have updated your HRIS the data will be overwritten in the next days sync. We recommend that you merge your scenario and change the data in your HRIS on the same day to avoid this.Â
The status of your scenario lets you know where your scenario is in the review process (when approvals are enabled) and whether it has been merged.

Your scenarios can display with the following statuses:
Status | Description |
