Hello,

In our org we would like to create a DDL based on manager. Ok this is easy, but I would like to have the DDL based on like a top manager, his all direct reports and it that is a manager with direct reports those all included in the DDL and so on, until there is no direct report.

Like this:

SVP of a group

  • VPs
    • Top managers
      • Direct reports
    • People managers
      • direct reports

etc...

Basically I just would like to select the top manager and it would cascade below.

Thanks.

PS: can be O365 or onprem we have a hybrid.

    If you add custom attributes for the basic DDL level, then you can create a DDL with higher level according to their custom attributes.
    I'm not sure how your "Direct reports" works, would your explain it more?

    There's no way to do "transitive" direct reports query like this, you will have to manually add each recipient. Alternatively, you can create DDL for each manager, then add them all to a "parent" DL.
