Logging Time

Log your time as you work on a Ticket in order to ensure that billing is accurate. At any time, Add an Activity to the Ticket to log time, or start a Timer against the Ticket with the click of a button. All work and time logged against a Ticket will be defaulted to Billable unless noted otherwise.

Click +Add Activity from the top left to start a new Note, Call, Email, or Meeting against the Ticket. Learn more about Adding an Activity.

To add an activity against a specific Task:

1. Select the Tasks tab in the Ongoing Work section.
   
    
2. Click on the arrow next to the Task you want to add an Activity to.
   
    
3. Click Add Activity.
   
    

To make an Activity non-billable, uncheck the billable box located next to the Timer at the bottom of the activity.

Update Ticket Status & Progressions

Your Status & Progressions for the Ticket are located at the top of the Ticket Overview. These operations are dependent on the progression that is configured for each Ticket type you use.

  

Unless customized to be otherwise, by default there is a Resolve or Close progression available when a Ticket is in an Open Status.

To change the Status of a Ticket:

1. Click on the Status you want to change the Ticket to.

Some Status changes may require you to provide more information or prompt you to complete certain steps. You may also be prompted to approve the activities against the Ticket, ensuring that any time spent on the Ticket has been reviewed and then appropriately allocated to an invoice.
