Keyword | managers

Purpose | Defines one or more resources to be the manager who is responsible for this resource. Managers must be leaf resources. This attribute does not impact the scheduling. It can only be used for documentation purposes. You must only specify direct managers here. Do not list higher level managers here. If necessary, use the purge attribute to clear inherited managers. For most use cases, there should be only one manager. But TaskJuggler is not limited to just one manager. Dotted reporting lines can be captured as well as long as the managers are not reporting to each other.
Syntax | `managers <resource> [, <resource>...]`
Arguments | resource [ID] | The ID of a defined resource
Context | resource, supplement (resource)
