Use the Organization Manager Relationship window to assign managers to organizations. The primary reason for doing this is for reporting purposes, for example, if you are using management reporting in DBI.

You can only assign managers to organizations that have a classification that uses the Reporting Information information type, for example HR Organizations.

You can also use this window to view a history of managers for an organization.

   To select managers for an organization:

1. Select the organization for which you want to enter a manager in the Organization Manager Details region.

2. Select the manager for the organization and enter start and end dates, if appropriate.

   Note that you can have only one current manager for an organization.

3. Save your work.

   To view managers for an organization:

1. Select the organization or the manager that you want to query.

2. If you have selected a manager and want to show all the organizations to which that person and all his direct reports are managers, then select the Show the manager and direct reports check box. If you do not select the check box, then the query returns only the organizations to which the person you have selected is a manager.

3. Indicate the timeframe for which you want to view the results and choose the Find button. The results of your query are displayed in the Organization Manager Details region.

   If your security profile allows you to see the manager but not the organization, or the organization but not the manager, you are able to view the organization manager record but not update it.
