Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Implementing an organizational chart feature based on the circles structure in the Nextcloud Contacts app would enhance the app's functionality and user experience.

Describe the solution you'd like

Feature Concept: Introduce an organizational chart feature that visually represents the circles and their interrelationships within the Nextcloud Contacts app. This feature will allow users to easily understand and navigate the various user groups (circles) and roles within the app.

User Interface Design: Develop a user-friendly interface for the organizational chart. This should include an intuitive layout, possibly with a drag-and-drop functionality for easy management and visualization of circles and their members.

Integration with Existing Circles: The feature will be seamlessly integrated with the existing circles structure in Nextcloud. Users should be able to view and manage their circles through this organizational chart, making the feature a natural extension of the current app capabilities.

Interactive Elements: The chart will be interactive, allowing users to click on individual circles to view more details, such as the members within a circle, their roles, and other relevant information.

Customization and Flexibility: Users will have the option to customize the appearance of the chart, including layout styles (e.g., hierarchical, radial), color coding for different circles, and the ability to add or remove elements.

Real-time Updates and Syncing: The organizational chart will update in real time to reflect any changes in the circles, such as adding or removing members, ensuring that users always have the most current information.

Accessibility and Collaboration: Ensure that the feature is accessible to all users, with consideration for different devices and screen sizes. Collaboration features could include sharing the chart with other Nextcloud users or exporting it for use in presentations or reports.
