Hey team,
I know orgchart is a newbie to the control group and I don't see a list of things what it can do and not do. That would help instead of expecting everything from it. I saw the demo and other code from the demo section but it doesn't tell what are the limitations. For example, I see you can limit the depth of the tree but it doesn't give option to expand or drill down the tree in the org chart. Also is there way to give summary of reports for each employee on the tree. For example, manager has 3 reports which can be showed in the manager info as reports - 3. That would be good one. Also there are functional reports and HR reports in many organizations, like multiple parent scenario.
Please let us know whats available right now and whats coming? That would help us.

Hi,
> For example, I see you can limit the depth of the tree but it doesn't give option to expand or drill down the tree in the org chart.
Collapsing / expanding, as well as drill down are planned, discussed and will be coming at a certain point.
> Also is there way to give summary of reports for each employee on the tree ...
I am not sure I understand the question here, but there is the option for custom item template and what's displayed there could be virtually anything.
I hope that addresses your questions.

As you are saying we can add custom itemtemplate inside the nodes? If that's the case, I didn't see any examples and may be I will try it out. But without drilling, org chart won't help since many organization cannot display full chart which would really won't be satisfy the need. I guess I need to wait for the functionality anyway. Do you think in 2012 Q1 we can expect them?

Hello,
You can check this demo for the custom item template -- http://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/orgchart/examples/templates/defaultcs.aspx. Though not very elaborate, it does give an idea about templates in orgchart.
