Automated position-supervisor synchronization

Regardless of whether a position is synchronized to a job, you can always synchronize a position to a manager role. You must have a direct manager that is specified on the position.

The direct manager is required to indicate where the supervisor role you are creating fits in the manager structure. The manager role that you create cannot be the top role in the structure, because that role is created automatically when the organization is created.

To automatically create a manager role from a position, select the Direct Manager role and select the Create a manager code with the same description and active status check box. When you save the position, the role is added to the manager structure under the Direct Manager role. The manager code that was created is displayed in the Position Is Manager field.

To remove the synchronization, clear the Create a manager code with the same description and active status check box. This does not remove the new manager role or its association with the position. You can change the name and active status of the manager role.
