According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method for creating and displaying a hierarchical organization chart in a mobile application is provided. The method includes obtaining information from a database. The information represents a first node, second node, and, optionally, at least one third node. The nodes are related to each other according to a hierarchy. The method also includes displaying the information representing the first, second, and third nodes, if any, in a graphical user interface of a mobile device. The graphical user interface may include, for example, a three-level row-based chart. The information representing the first node is displayed in a first level of the chart, the information representing the second node is displayed in a second level of the chart, and the information representing the at least one third node is displayed in a third level of the chart.
