hello,

the Reports To relationship really comes into play if you are using Pro or Ent.

If user B reports to User A, then in Pro/Ent, if you create a team and add user B to this team, user A is automatically added to the team (because user B is assigned to user A, user A should see everything user B has access to).

This also has relevance within the Forecasting module in Pro/Ent with regards to rollup view within the forecasting module.

thanks for the information

It also affects workflow in Pro/Ent, you can send alerts to a persons manager.

I'm bumping this thread in order to get an answer on my question.

Can we assign to persons under "report-to"? Or is it only possible to report-to one person?
