How to enable and add Dotted Line Managers for employees?

A Dotted Line Manager is an additional manager who guides or oversees an employee in certain functions—usually project-based—without being their direct reporting manager. In Keka, you can enable, assign, and manage dotted line managers easily. By default, they get the same permissions as reporting managers, but you can modify these in Global Settings → Roles & Permissions → Implicit Roles.

Enable the Dotted Line Manager option:

1. Go to Org → Employees → Settings.

2. Click the edit icon beside Enable Dotted Line Manager.

3. Check the box and click Update.
   This enables the dotted line manager field for all employees.

    

Assign a Dotted Line Manager to an employee:

1. Open the employee profile via Global Search and go to the Job section.

2. In the Organization panel on the right, click the edit icon beside Dotted Line Manager.

3. In the popup, choose whether this is a Correction of Data or a Dotted Line Manager Change.

4. Select the New Dotted Line Manager, pick the Effective From date, and enter a Note.

5. Click Update.

Assign dotted line managers in bulk:

• You can bulk-update dotted line managers using the Import Employee Job Details option.
