What is dotted line manager and what are their responsibilities?

In Oracle Fusion HCM, a "dotted line manager" refers to a type of reporting relationship that exists between an employee and a manager, where the reporting line is not as direct as in a typical hierarchical structure. Instead, it's represented by a "dotted line" to indicate a secondary reporting relationship. Dotted line managers are often used when an employee has dual reporting responsibilities or when they work on cross-functional projects that require them to report to more than one manager.

An employee may have two managers: a direct line manager and a dotted line manager. The direct line manager is typically the primary manager responsible for the employee's day-to-day tasks and performance evaluations. The dotted line manager, on the other hand, might be responsible for overseeing the employee's work in a specific project or function, but their authority is not as direct.
