Difference betwee managerID and supervisor indicator

Hi,  Trying to run the manager effectiveness dashboard but I need to add an supervisor indicator to the org. data. Can someone explain the difference between this and the managerID?

I am also interested in the answer to this question.
As far as I know though, ManagerID is the managers email address and Supervisor Indicator will be zero or one, this means a manager will always equal to one provided that they have subordinates reporting to them.

    Hi Brenden_Mokwena and Sophie1911 

     

    Brenden you are correct about ManagerID:

    Unique identifier for an employee’s manager. It can be the manager’s primary SMTP address or email alias.

     

    SupervisorIndicator is defined as: 

    The manager status of an employee as IC (individual contributor), Mngr (manager), or Mngr+ (manager of managers).

      It seems on the new platform to run the manager effectiveness dashboard you MUST have supervisor indicator otherwise the query won't run. Similar to the DE&I query must have Hire Date. This should be made clear on the documentation page.

        Thanks for the feedback I will pass that along to the product team to update on the documentation.
