Overview

This change lets a single employee be associated with more than one capacity manager in Resource Management. Each of those managers sees the employee in their reports and can nominate them for demands.

Why it matters

• See everyone you're responsible for. An employee who works across two teams now shows up for each of their capacity managers, not just one.
• Nominate the people you share. Any of an employee's capacity managers can put them forward for a demand in their scope.
• Nothing new to learn. The employee shows up in the same Resource Management reports and uses the same nomination flow.

How it works

1. Open Resource Management from the top navigation, then Team Planning ▸ My Reports.
2. Use the Direct reports and All reports tabs to find an employee associated with you; each employee shows Availability and Max Capacity.
3. Open a demand the employee fits and select Nominate employee.
4. If another of the employee's capacity managers already nominated them for that demand, the platform tells you the employee already has an active application for it.
5. Track or withdraw a nomination from the same demand card using Withdraw Nomination when that's available.

FAQs

How do I get added as a capacity manager for an employee?

Capacity-manager associations come from your organization's employee data feed. Ask your admin to include you as a capacity manager for the employee.

Why can't I nominate an employee I can see?

Another of their capacity managers likely already nominated them for that demand (see How it works).

Does adding me change the employee's line manager?

No. This is about capacity managers in Resource Management. The employee's line manager is separate and unchanged.
