What this solution does
In the standard user profile, a department head sees only their direct subordinates and the employees of their own department. Information about subordinate departments and their staff is not displayed in the card, even though these departments are organizationally subordinate to the higher-level manager.
This module extends the profile functionality to display the hierarchy below the current level. Users can configure the depth of the display:
1. Select the number of levels to show for subordinate departments.
2. Select the number of levels to show for employees within those departments.
3. Exclude specific departments and their staff from the view. This allows hiding units such as those handling chatbots, open lines, or contractors.
4. Set the display mode to "All," which shows all employees from subordinate departments in the "Subordinate Employees" block.
The module defines the display mode for subordinates in a department head's profile. Three configuration options are available:
The 'Employees' mode displays all staff members of subordinate departments, excluding their managers.
The 'Managers' mode displays only the managers of subordinate departments, excluding their subordinates.
The 'Mixed' mode displays managers of subordinate departments without their subordinates. However, if a department lacks a manager (for example, due to maternity leave), the subordinates are displayed in the profile of the superior department's manager. This ensures accurate hierarchy representation even when a manager is temporarily absent.
Module installation and configuration take no more than three minutes.
When displaying subordinate departments, their nesting structure is automatically shown. Example structure:
- Directorate
-- Document Management Department No. 4
--- Document Management Department No. 41
---- Document Management Sector No. 32
The module disables the standard 'Additional Information' block in the user profile and replaces it with an extended version. The new block displays subordinate employees, subordinate departments, and managers (the manager structure remains unchanged). Departments to which the user belongs are additionally highlighted in bold.
