Domo Hierarchy

I was wondering if there is a better way to take advantage of the Domo user hierarchy. Our organization is very hierarchy driven and we need a way for the users to see who reports to who. Currently the only way I've found to add users to the application hierarchy is manually and as we are a large organization, manually entering in hierarchy information for thousands of employees is a bit much.

 

Is there either a way to automate the update of the Domo Hierarchy, or is there a card or custom app that would be able to serve the same purpose?

Thanks so much for your time.

    Our public user API (https://developer.domo.com/docs/users-api-reference/users-2) doesn't contain the attributes needed yet to build out the heirarchy, but we do have a utility we've used for some other customers that could get you what you need.  In order to make this work, we'd need a DataSet that has the mapping of manager to employee.  If you are interested in pursuing that utility, please reach out to your CSM for more information.

    That is a great question.  When you mention automatically updating the hierarchy, which you envision the mapping of manager to employee coming in through an HR data store?
