Tracking working time
With Matrix42 Service Desk, you can track the time that you spend working on a ticket (incident, problem, change, or task) for statistical purposes. You can categorize your work on a ticket according to different types of activity. By default, time tracking is started and ended manually by the support employee. As an alternative, you can activate automatic tracking of working time.
- Go to Matrix42 Enterprise Service Management → Service Desk application.
- In the navigation area, open the page that contains the necessary activity, for example, Backlog
- Use Search to find the necessary activity, for example, Incident.
- In the selection list, click the item. Preview opens.
- In the action panel, click Track Working Time:
- An input wizard containing the following fields opens:
- Activity Type: Type of work in the tracking period. Available by default options are:
- Assignment
- Investigation
- Recording
- Resolution
- Administration
- Other
- Begin: Date and time when you started working on this ticket.
- End: Date and time when you finished working on this ticket.
- Duration: Duration of the ticket in hours.
- Description: Additional description of work.
- Activity Type: Type of work in the tracking period. Available by default options are:
- Click TRACK WORKING TIME.
Tracked time and categories are displayed in the My Time Reported during last 7 days widget on the My Work Dashboard in the Service Desk. Time tracking entries are also listed and can be modified in the Time Tracking section when editing the activity (incident, task, ticket, problem, service request, or change)
If the option "Consider Service Time Profiles in Time Tracking" is enabled in Service Desk Settings then Service Time Profiles will be taken into account, non-active hours and days will not be added to the final duration. Otherwise, the duration will be calculated as if all days and all hours are active.
