Mandatory Logging Time on Task

Avatar

Level 4
Hi WF Community! I've had the conversation with a few other people here already, and wanted to get some interest in a common request we have around giving an option to make logging time on a task mandatory before it can be completed. We are finding this step is being missed by team members often, and would love for this to be a standard feature! You can help us out by up-voting here!

We're going through implementation and I was disappointed to learn this is not a configurable feature. Compliance with our current time keeping system is around 90% - which makes for a lot of chasing by managers. This would be a great value add! Jeff Thell Bracket Global

We thought the same thing! Well, there's already 19 votes on it so far. Hoping we can keep the interest up on this and get enough votes to hit 45!

For those responsible to ensure all closed Tasks have at least one time entry against them... Consider writing a report that looks for any offending (child) Tasks closed within the last XX days that have no Actual Hours, then either manually reopening them, or using our "http://store.atappstore.com/product/ubercalc/">UberCalc solution to do so automatically (eg each night) - perhaps even switching the Status to a user defined "ENTER ACTUAL TIME" to make it obvious. For further corrective (or punitive) measures, a report aging Tasks in said Status grouped by Week, stacked (in a chart) by User and reviewing (or publishing) it could reinforce Good Behavior.

Is there any way to pre-populate certain tasks with fixed logged hour time? I know this is cheating...but for example...the first task of every project is "setting up schedule" and we almost always log .25 hours there. most tasks will be random times and should be completed as done....JUUUST wondering =) Tegwyn Stockdale Production Coordinator / PM BayCare Clearwater, Florida Baycare Health System, Inc.
