Managing time with the Time view

Using the Time view you can manage time information on activities, operations, and processes. You can start by estimating the time it takes to execute operations. Later, you can refine the time information by defining activities holding time information. You can define the category of each activity, for example, Value Added or Non-Value Added, and later analyze how much time in your overall process structure (or any other process level) is spent on each category. This view also lets you roll up the time information from lower levels to upper levels and define the allocated time of each of the leaves.

The Time view provides information specific to the process or operation so that its appearance varies depending on which of these you select.

Times are stored in the Time Analysis form on the process or operation. Activity times are stored as fields directly on the class. In contrast to process or operation, there is no additional activity time form. You can modify times in the Time view and these changes are then reflected in the forms.

Time units are stored in seconds in the database. You can configure which units are shown in the Time view.
