Get users manager

[Dan Munns]

Hi all,

How can I get a user (who isn't the customers) manager? 

I have a form where the originator puts a staff members name in a field and I need to send a notification to that users line manager but I cant work out how to get the info.

It isnt for anything sinister, I am trying to replicate our current eThank You card process and replace (yet another) horrible SP form. 

I also get the feeling I will need to do this for more of our HR processes.

Help please!

There is this Hornbill Automation, but the user's manager seems to be the one thing that is missing.  The development team are going to have a look at adding an option for getting the Manager of a user.

Thanks @James Ainsworth

I know this is a no-no question, but any idea when?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

The work has just been completed.  It will have to go through its release cycle, but I would expect that this will be in the next Collaboration Core update.  Keep an eye open on the release notes over the next few weeks.
