OrgModeler - Dynamic org chart root

Question

Hello experts,
We're on OrgModeler 3.0 SP2.
I'm trying to dynamically display the user's org unit as the root of the orgchart. I did the following:
1. Copied sap_userpopulation.xml file and changed org_unit to ID
<field name="OBJID" source="EmpOrgInfo" mandatory="true">
<alias>ID<alias>
<desc><![CDATA[]]></desc>
</field>
2. Copied userpopulationinfo.xml file and changed org_unit to ID
<field name="ID">
<caption key="9b3502fc0e2545e1ad31c7d3367b333c"><![CDATA[Org Unit ID]]></caption>
</field>
3. AdminConsole --> Source OrgChart --> General Settings
Orgchart root value source = User record
User record field = blank (no values available in the dropdown)
Did I miss anything?
Thanks,
L

Hi Luke,
I checked the configuration for orgchart.
- Data Element: SAP_UserPopulation
- This field holds information in the authentication store used to search for the employee in the employee data source: UNAME
- This field holds the ID of the Employee or other information that matches data stored in u2019Employee Field in Authentication Sourceu2019: Userid
- LinkField to fetch employee: Object_ID
This is what I have on the orgmodeler side:

Object_ID is not an option for the linkfield to fetch employee dropdown.
The options are:
personnel id
first name
last name
cost center
org unit ID
position id
job id
org unit
position
job
gender
user id
central person id
Once again, thank you so much for all the help! really appreciate it!!
