Advanced time tracking now allows you to automatically calculate the time spent on an issue. The time calculation covers the span from when the issue was assigned until it was closed, the employee's schedule considered.

To learn how to activate auto time calculation and how it works, see Setting up time tracking.

Viewing a workflow on the issue pageViewing a workflow on the issue page

Tracker users can now view a queue's workflow in issues. If authorized to view queue issues, the user will now see a set of statuses inside an issue. The user will also be able to view transitions, but only those they have access to within the workflow configuration.

To view the workflow on the issue page, click → View workflow in the right-hand panel in the Status field.

List of statuses in the workflow editorList of statuses in the workflow editor

The workflow editor now has a panel where you can search by workflow status and transition. Click the panel to view a list of all the workflow statuses. Each status will show a list of transitions configured for it with prompts on the settings available for each one (e.g., automation, transition screens).

Hovering over a status selects in the diagram all the transitions from the status, as well as the initial and final statuses for a given transition. You can also swap statuses and transitions in the list by dragging them. Hovering over an element makes an icon appear to the right of it. Click and hold the icon and drag the selected element.
