[rt-users] Time Estimate and Time Left.

2009-04-23 Thread Tutu
There are 3 fields in RT.
Time Worked upon
Time Estimate
Time Left.

Is Time Left not calculated from Time Estimated and Time Worked Upon for
example

if time worked upon is 10 Hours and Time estimated is 30 hours, the Time
left should be calculated by RT as 20 hours.
Is it not possible?

Regards.

 Unfortunately, while mathematically correct it might not be.

 You might have estimated 5 hours - you mean Time Estimated = 5 Hours ,
 put 4 hours into it ( what is 'it' here ? ) and come across
 some problems and it's now going to take you another 8. ( Hence, I will
 change my estimate to 8 hours in the Time Estimated field)

 So, it depends on how you use the estimate field.
 My question revolves around if Time Estimate, Time Worked Upon and Time
 Left are synchrnonised with each other. What I wanted is : If I put a value
 in Time Estimated field and Time Workedupon Field then the Time Left should
 give me a difference of the two.
