“Hierarchy”-style

In the previous lessons, we had already seen how to add a shape to a “SmartArt” graphic.

When you’ve chosen the “Hierarchy” style, it is a bit different.

An example:

In the picture below, I want to add a “Foreman” in the same order as the first foreman and also two employees under him.

Worker1 of  Foreman 1, I would then give the responsibility of an apprenticeship.

How do I need to work ?
First select the “Foreman 1” shape.

 

 

Click the left part of the “Add Shape”.

 

That was easy.
Now I give this new team leader, the responsibility of two employees.
When the “Foreman 2” shape is selected, I click the “Add Shape” button.
From the drop-down menu, I choose “Add Shape Below.”
This places a shape under Foreman 2.
I give the shape a name, so I type “Worker 3”.

 

 

Now you must add a second employee to “Foreman 2”.
For this I select “Foreman 2” again, then click the “Add Shape” button and select “Add Shape below.”

 

 

More than likely, the shape is placed at the same place but may not be properly positioned in the image below.
If this happens, move the mouse pointer over a shape, when it changes into a four-arrow, click and drag it to the correct position.

Finally I add one apprentice to “Worker 1” of  “Foreman 1”.

To do this, first select the “Worker 1” shape and then click the “Add Shape” button.
And select “Add Shape below.”

This adds a shape one level below the level of “Worker 1”

Give the shape a name, “Apprenticeship 1.”

And place it in a more clear position.

And Voilà!:
