I tried creating a report to show the employee details with “reports to” information (you can check this by switching from list view to report view too).
The data that is shown is accurate. The report is updated and properly displayed after changes are made to the “reports to” field. The results, however, are inaccurate for individual employee logins. Either no employees are displayed, or the incorrect employees are displayed.
The purpose of doing so was to determine whether the database was storing the correct values or not.
