Default Can a visio 2003 org chart be refreshed every single day without .

Can a visio 2003 org chart be refreshed every single day without every having
any manual intervention? I can't find this answer anywhere. Is there an
automated scheduler that can tie in with Visio org chart without any person
having to click anything, ever? I use PeopleSoft and want Visio org chart
to import the data and refresh it everyday by iteself. How do I do this?

I assume that you are using PeopleSoft to output to a file, and then using
this file as the source for a Visio Org Chart?
Visio is not licensed as a server app, so you would need to have a desktop
PC with a small program that either starts at a pre-determined time (using
Task Scheduler?), or an application that watches for file changes. This can
then start-off Visio, run the Org Chart Wizarrd, Publish to Web, and then
close Visio ... and Visio could be run invisibly (once you have debugged
your code).

All achievable, but I think you need a little coding.

BTW - In an earlier version of Visio and PeopleSoft, we even managed to get
links from the org chart shaoes to the relevant panels in PeopleSoft
(person, position, organisation, and location). You do need to decide on
how your hierarchy is created though. We used to have several different
options - not sure of the compatability with your version of PeopleSoft)
