The manager is a Template:L that allows you to create multiple production orders. Using a manager allow to dispatch rapidly any number of jobs from a single screen, without having to add tasks to individual Template:Ls.
The manager screen
To use the manager, you must go to the manager screen by pressing u,m or j,m. If your fortress has 20 or more dwarfs the manager will have to approve every work order you set. To see if an order is approved you can check the manager screen. Approved orders will have a green check mark, while unapproved orders will have a red X.
After a production order was approved corresponding tasks will be added automatically to applicable workshops until the production quota has been met. It is useful to note that managers will not allow more than 30 tasks per work order. However, multiple work order can be requested separately with a few key strokes.
Setting workshop profiles
The manager also allows you to change a Template:L's profile. To edit a workshop's profile, select a workshop with q and press P. The workshop profile will allow you to select which dwarves can use it and the minimum and maximum Template:L level required to use the workshop. You can choose who can use the workshop by pressing enter on their name to permit/forbid their use of the workshop. A note of caution: workshop profiles persistv0.31.12 even if the manager is killed, which can lead to workshops becoming unusable if the manager is killed and the dwarfs permitted into the workshop die or are reassigned.
Office
A manager only performs his duties in his office, so it is absolutely necessary to assign one. Since only a meager office is required, a single chair in your Template:L will suffice until you can arrange for a more permament, dedicated location.
