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?
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). Please see this page for more information: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/insights/advanced/admin/prepare-org-data#attribute-reference

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