Reportee requests widget

If you are a manager with reportees, other Fuse users can request that you become their manager. If a user sends you a request to become their manager, you will receive a notification in which you can approve or decline it. If the Reportee requests widget is enabled on the Manager/Reportee screen, you can approve or decline these requests directly in the Reportee requests widget. 

The Reportee requests widget also displays a list of your current reportees. 

This widget can be added to the following pages in Design Studio: 

• Default Manager Dashboard: Used to configure the default layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, viewable to all managers who do not have access to a manager-specific dashboard. 

• Manager Specific Dashboard: Used to configure a manager-specific layout for the Manager/Reportee screen, based on custom profile fields.

You can send a manager request to a Fuse user by entering their name in the Manager field in your profile.
