Setting up cross reporting

Cross reporting or dotted line managers can be assigned to a Team Member and they can perform some of the tasks of a full manager. Cross reporting managers are added to the Cross Reporting Related List on the Team Member record.

Cross reporting managers are assigned a Type, enabling you to control the types of information visible to the cross reporting manager. The different types exist to enable you to customize cross reporting manager access to your organization's needs, and process visibility settings on the HCM package configuration page control which cross reporting manager types can access which process in WX. The names of the cross reporting manager types reflect typical cross reporting manager roles. If you organization has cross reporting managers, you can use one or more of the types as you choose, and grant access to processes whichever way makes most sense to your organization.

You can set up a cross reporting relationship from the cross reporting manager's Team Member record, or from the cross reporting Team Member's record, depending on which related lists are available in the page layout.

To set up cross reporting from the cross reporting manager's record:

  1. Search for the manager who will be the cross reporting manager and view their Team Member Detail page.

  2. In the Management (Cross Reporting) Related List, select New:
