Here's how to change a direct report's manager whether they have been transferred or for whatever reason. There are 2 ways to get this done. If you're looking to update 1-10 direct reports (users) to a new manager you can do it manually. If it's anything more than 10, it'll be more efficient to update it via our bulk upload.

โ€‹Manual Update:

Go to Users tab > Find and click on the user's name > Scroll down to the field that says Manager Email > Insert the new manager's email to change who that user reports to, and change any other information in their profile if needed > Scroll down and hit Save Employee

Bulk Upload Update:

If you are looking to update a big amount of direct reports (use case scenario would be a manager switching departments, leaving company, restructuring, etc) the best option would be to use our Bulk Upload.

  • Go to Users > Select any filters if you'd like > Click the Download drop down and either download selected filtered data or download all data.

  • Open your preferred spreadsheet program (Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Pages, etc) > Open a new document > 'Import' the file and upload the CSV file you just download > import the data > Scroll over to the 'Manager Email' column and sort it A-Z > Here you'll be able to see how many direct reports each manager has and you'll be able to update the manager email section in the sheet quickly and easily

  • Once you've updated your CSV file, you''ll download the current sheet to a CSV file. Go back to Nectar > Users > Add Users > Bulk Upload Users > Continue > Append Users or Update to List > Upload the new file.

    If you need help uploading your CSV file check out our Bulk Upload article.
