− | To | + | == The manager screen == |
+ | To use the manager, you must go to the manager screen by pressing {{k|u}},{{k|m}} or {{k|j}},{{k|m}}. If your fortress has 20 or more dwarves, 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 checkmark, while unapproved orders will have a red X. | ||
− | + | After a production order is approved, corresponding tasks will be automatically added 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 keystrokes. | |

+ | The workshop profile will allow you to select which dwarves can use it and the minimum and maximum {{L|skill}} 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 persist<sup>v0.31.12</sup> 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. | |
− | A | + | ==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 {{L|dining room}} will suffice until you can arrange for a more permament, dedicated location. The manager will also not perform his or her duties if on break, drinking, attending a party, asleep or otherwise incapacitated. Job orders will remain enqueued until the manager is once again in their office. | ||

− | A disadvantage of overusing the manager menu is that the jobs requested will be fulfilled mostly in the order they were requested. This means that if you choose to make 30 barrels and 30 bins, you may not get those bins until ALL of the barrels are done. Additionally, should you suddenly want to build something else at your carpenter's workshop, you may need to cancel or suspend the existing tasks | + | A disadvantage of overusing the manager menu is that the jobs requested will be fulfilled mostly in the order they were requested.
