Department Approver Training Guide

Maintaining "Reports to" in UTShare

outside image of the S E I R Science and engineering research building at sunsetIn UTShare, the “Reports To” value is critical to accurate supervisory relationships. It affects absence approvals, performance evaluations, supervisor training requirements, and manager access to training reports. Keeping this information accurate ensures automated workflows, reliable data, and eliminates tracking outside UTShare.

Who Is the “Reports To”?

  • Departments can review employees and their assigned “Reports To” position by running MARS Departmental Position reports. The All Reports To report lists employees with their current supervisor, while Missing Reports To identifies positions that are vacant or unassigned.

How to Change the “Reports To”

  • If an update is needed, submit a Modify Position eForm using the Reports To Change action. Refer to the Modify Position Job Aid for step-by-step guidance.
