The Assistant field records who supports an employee (for example, an executive assistant). It’s a prebuilt OneDirectory field, disabled by default, that you enable in Fields.
Enable the field
In the OneDirectory sidebar (your live employee directory), click Directory Console at the bottom, or click Edit in Console in the top bar.
In the Directory Console sidebar, select Fields.
In the Disabled Fields list at the bottom of the page, click Assistant.
Toggle Enabled on and set the Edit Permissions.
Add an assistant to a profile
Once enabled, an editable Assistant field appears on employee profiles. Set it on the profile itself, or in Directory Console → People by clicking the person’s row and editing the value on the Profile Details tab. The field is a Profile Picker (Multiple), so more than one assistant can be added per person.
How it appears on the org chart
Assistants you set are shown on the org chart alongside the person they support.
Tip: Pair this with the Dotted Line Manager field to capture more of your real reporting relationships. |
