Active Task Aging Graph

A status graph in the Task Navigator shows important statistical information regarding performance of tasks related to the selected folder. For example, if a particular department is chosen, the statistics will reflect the chosen department only. Statistics displayed will be related to response time, % fixed in the first hour, and % fixed in a day.

You can use the Active Task Aging Graph to graphically display the outstanding active tasks by department and time ranges. It defaults for the Y axis shows the number of tasks outstanding. For other functions you can plot the time, see Scope; defaults for the X axis showing the hours as defined in the user-definable intervals. To change the values, enter any number in the respective fields in the Scope screen. The axes will display the changes.
