What would be better would be a OOB display where the officers are included. Going through each formation you have and using the officers tab is likely to give you a better overview where people are. The vacancies button is marginally more useful as far as I can see but I'd still say using the officers tab of the formation window in conjunction with the commanders window gives you the information that you need. But I tend to do a lot of things manually that can be perhaps done via the program elements.
You likely have to also manually adjust your ground force commanders. What I wish is could set construction brigades to requiring a brigadier rather than a colonel.

I must admit that I organize it on paper and then use the commander tab to set up my senior officers; afterwards I go back through the other officers and manualy assign the ones displaced.
If you use auto-assign you have to assign officer ranks to ships in half way sensible fashion. The NCN has every jump capable ship assigned to require a rank of commander, some of the PDCs require higher rank as well. I also make good use of "do not re-assign" for my senior officers so they sorta half way sensibly remain assigned where they should be. But at the end of the day manual checking of every officer is required. I do this anyway as I have retirement criteria (Lt. Cmdr 50 years old or health less than good, Cmdr 55 years old or health less than good, Captain or higher 60 years old or health issues).

And trying to move them for hand is tedious but needed... Its nice if my escort destroyers and cruiser managed to get in one shot against fast missiles...
