Assigning Time to Cases Using Time Tracker

Using the time tracker feature, users can assign their time to a case. They can assign this time while working on the case or after their work is complete.

If users want to use the time tracker feature to assign the time of other users to a case, then administrators must configure the Case Time Tracker view to accommodate these time assignments. For more information, see Configuring Time Entry Views.

NOTE:  The time that you assign to a case is automatically associated with the appropriate time sheet. The appropriate time sheet has a time period that includes the date for the time assignment record, has the same owner as the time assignment record, and does not have a status of Submitted. If such a time sheet does not exist, then it is automatically created.

This task is a step in Process of Managing Case Time.
