This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Manage Time page.
Each case is associated with only one system generated time log (each with a unique time report ID). While you cannot manually create time logs, you can, however, add rows within an existing time log. It is useful if a task spans multiple days and you want to report work time on a daily basis.
