Hot off the heels of the new Assistant field, you can now add a Dotted Line Manager to any profile in OneDirectory!

This new field helps reflect matrixed reporting lines by showing secondary or dotted line managers directly on employee profiles, so reporting relationships are clearer across your organization.

To enable the Dotted Line Manager field:

  1. Go to Settings > Fields
  2. Under Connections, click the Dotted Line Manager field
  3. In the side pane, toggle the field to Enabled
  4. Choose who can edit it (Directory Editors or Employees)
  5. Click Save

Once enabled, just switch to edit mode on any profile and you’ll see the new Dotted Line Manager field in the Connections pane on the right.
