Mass Update Managers

In AbsorbLMS, introduce a simplified "Mass Manager Update Tool" to streamline the process of updating manager assignments for multiple users at once.

Key Features:

Select Users and Managers: Administrators can select multiple users whose managers need to be updated and specify the new manager for these users directly within the tool.

Search and Filter: Provide search and filter functionality within the tool to easily locate users based on criteria such as department, role, or

location. This helps administrators quickly identify the users they need to update without scrolling through lengthy lists.

Bulk Update Option: Implement a bulk update option where administrators can select all users on a page or across multiple pages and assign them the same manager in a single action. This simplifies the process for administrators managing large numbers of users.

Instant Confirmation: Upon submitting the manager updates, provide instant confirmation to the administrator, indicating that the changes have been successfully applied. This ensures transparency and confidence in the update process.

Undo Capability: Include an option to undo recent manager updates in case of any mistakes or unintended changes. This provides administrators with a safety net to revert changes without having to manually edit each user's manager assignment.

Benefits:

Efficiency: The Mass Manager Update Tool streamlines the process of updating manager assignments, saving administrators time and effort.

User-Friendly: With a simple and intuitive interface, the tool is easy for administrators to navigate and use effectively.

Accuracy: By allowing administrators to update multiple users simultaneously, the tool reduces the risk of errors associated with manual updates.

Improved Management: Keeping manager assignments up-to-date ensures clear reporting structures and facilitates effective communication and collaboration within teams.

By implementing the Mass Manager Update Tool in AbsorbLMS, organizations can efficiently manage manager assignments for their users, leading to smoother operations and enhanced user experience within the learning management system.

    When you edit a user you should be able to change that user's manager (like you can with supervisor). Currently you have to edit the manager's account and add the user as a direct report.

    When a sys admin deletes a user who is a manager, can you force them to assign a new manager? That way we don't end up with lots of staff with no manager when theirs leaves the company. Although the Manager experience is a good tool, I don't think it was tested properly in the real world before being released.

    Thank you for sharing your idea with us. After careful review, we have decided not to prioritize this suggestion at the moment. While we appreciate the value of your request, our current roadmap and resource constraints prevent us from pursuing it in the near future.

    Rest assured, your idea is safely stored in our repository, and we will revisit it as we continue to assess potential improvements to updating users managers.

    We truly value your feedback, as it plays a key role in shaping the development of our platform. Thank you for your continued contribution to its growth.

Manager experience assigned by department and all sub depts.

The manager experience is not feasible for us if direct reports have to be individually assigned. Being able to do it by dept and all sub depts would make this workable for us.
