How to Track Time on TDX Tickets

Table of Contents

Context

The time reporting functionality in TeamDynamix allows users to track and report where their time is being allocated efficiently. Each time entry, whether for a ticket, workspace, or project, will have a time type, a quantity, and a date associated with it. Adding time for any ticket, project, or workspace may be done indefinitely.

Note: TeamDynamix tracks all time in hours. To log minutes, enter the fraction of an hour corresponding to that quantity of time. Visit Time Tracking Categories and Conversion Guide Article | Atlas for a time conversion table.
