Viewing and Logging Hours to Trackers

Use the Tracking Hours screen to view the time you logged to a tracker. The screen displays the date, time logged for that date, and task assigned to the logged time for the date.

You can also enter time that you worked on a tracker in the Tracking Hours screen. However, we recommend that you use the tracker stop watch to log time. The tracker stop watch logs time as it accumulates, instead of requiring you to estimate the time you spent working on the tracker.

This topic discusses how to do the following:

To view the time you logged to a tracker:

  1. Open the tracker for which you want to view logged time.

  2. Use the Hours hot key to display the Tracking Hours screen.

Note: The screen also displays when you close a tracker or exit a tracker in which you have added or updated an append, or updated the forward list.

The system displays the screen with the tracker ID, your name, and the current date. If the screen displays and you do not want to record any hours worked, press F12 to return to the tracker.

To enter hours you worked on a tracker:

  1. Open the tracker for which you want to enter hours.

  2. Use the Hours hot key to display the Tracking Hours screen.

  3. In the Date field, accept the current date or enter a different date.

  4. In the Task Code field, press F10 and select the code that best describes the action you took on the tracker.

  5. In the Hours field, enter the number of hours worked.

The system updates the Total Hours For User field.

  1. Press Esc to record the hours.

Note: You can enter the same date and task code multiple times. When you press Esc, the system combines all of the entries with the same date and task code.

To view all hours logged to a tracker:

  1. Open the tracker for which you want to view logged time.

  2. Use the Hours hot key to display the Tracking Hours screen.

  3. Use the Summary Hrs hot key to display the Summary Hours screen.

  4. View the summary information and use the hot keys to view additional information, as described in Viewing a Summary of Hours Worked on Trackers.
