If this position is left vacant, the Manager screen at {{K|j}} -> {{K|m}} says "A manager is required to coordinate work orders", which seems to imply that they will not be performed. Without a manager the 'Workshop {{K|P}}rofile' option won't be available on workshops.

The Manager is named according to the rank of your [[fortress]], starting at Outpost Manager and proceeding to Hamlet Manager, Village Manager, Town Manager, City Manager, Metropolis Manager, and finally Mountainhome Manager once the [[King]] arrives.
 
 
== Setting up work orders ==
 
  
The Manager screen ({{k|u}}{{k|m}} or {{k|j}}{{k|m}}) allows you to set up work orders. This can be handy if you want to specify a precise number of items to be created, more than the few that will fit in a workshop's queue, but not just an indefinite amount, as you'd get by specifying a workshop task as a repeating task. It can also be useful because, although work orders will still be canceled if the raw materials aren't currently available, they will be added back to the workshop queue regularly until the order is finished.
+
As the population of the outpost increases, the name of the Manager's job title also changes:
  
You can add an amount of 30 items maximum to the queue, but you can add twice the order or even more, if you want to mass-produce something.

* While this noble does not require a dining room, they may eat at the chair in their office, and if so will receive a negative [[thought]] about the lack of tables.  For this reason, it may be advisable to assign them a small, personal dining room, or just build a table in their office by the chair.

* The manager has the same room and furniture requirements as the [[broker]] and [[bookkeeper]].  Because all three of these nobles tend to have periodic idle time, it may be possible to have one dwarf serve all three functions, especially in the early years of a fortress.

* A dwarf will receive a negative thought if they have to conduct a meeting in a [[bedroom]] or dining room, so make sure they have an appropriate office.
