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.
