Manager Name in Hour report

Hi,

I have an hour report that I would like to add the manager name so we can filter or sort.  I am able to pull in the manager id for a user but not seeing a field for a name.  Does anyone know how the manager name can be shown instead of the id?

 

Thanks

 

Heather

Hey @heatherte - 

 

You can change any ID to a Name by using Text Mode. Edit your report, click your ID column, Click "Switch to Text Mode" in the top right, then paste this in.

displayname= Manager Name linkedname=owner namekey=view.relatedcolumn namekeyargkey.0=owner namekeyargkey.1=managerID querysort=owner:managerID textmode=true valuefield=owner:manager:name valueformat=HTML

 

On a user or project level report (where you are not jumping databases) can simply revise the "managerID" to be "manager.name" to get the same effect.
