In OrgPublisher, Position Type refers to a Position category (such as Manager, Employee, or Contractor).

This data is kept or brought into the chart in Field #4 from your Data Source.

When you insert a person into a chart, you are actually adding a position with a certain Position Type. OrgPublisher uses the Position Type of each person in a chart to format text and boxes.

OrgPublisher's reporting power is based on the use of Position Types.
