After creating or opening a chart, you can change its Layout through the Layouts icon on the left toolbar. In the example below, we'll change the Layout of a Subsidiary chart for the entity Global Solutions Inc. from its default Merged Lines Layout to a Matrix Layout.
Example of a chart for Global Solutions Inc. with its default Merged Lines Layout:
1. Navigate to your chart and select the Layout icon on the left toolbar.

|
2. Select your desired Layout. In this example, we will select Matrix
|
|
3. If you selected the Matrix Layout, the Matrix Styles dropdown lets you select different arrangements for your subsidiary boxes. In our example, we selected Matrix in step 2 so we do see the Matrix Styles option, and we'll keep it at Balanced.

4. After selecting a Layout, GEMS automatically redraws the chart. Close the Layout panel to view the chart's new Layout.
