The first time you add individuals as a dotted line report or manager, the page will display the add button showing the text. When individuals already exist for these categories, the page will display the plus (+) button.

In order to create dotted line relationships, consider the following:

  • The system will not allow you to enter a dotted line relationship where a direct reporting structure is already in place. For example, a manager cannot be assigned as a dotted line manager to one of his or her own direct line reports.

  • A direct line report cannot be added as a dotted line manager to his or her own direct line manager.

  • The dotted line report and dotted line manager cannot be the same person.

  • You cannot enter duplicate dotted line relationships.

Note: When adding a dotted line relationship, the system will send an approval request to the approving manager and an email notification to the dotted line report and dotted line manager, notifying them that a dotted line relationship is being requested to be created. The system will also copy the direct line manager of these individuals on the email.

When you add or remove a dotted line relationship using your own direct reports, the system will automatically add the person to the Dotted Line page. However, if the person reports to another manager, it will first send an approval request to that manager. After the request has been approved, the relationship will appear on the person’s Profile - Dotted Line page.
