I’m a bit confused with Time in Stage workflow metrics.
Each task designated in certain stage / custom field have different timeset depending on the task’s importance and difficulty.
Right now, this metric only shows the total time and avg time and this number is just going to increase as more and more tasks are added in the future.

Could anyone tell me how this could be used more efficiently?

Rebecca… I’ve noticed that the checkmark for tasks that appeared in our template and in most of our projects, goes missing in other projects. We use this to look at which tasks are completed. Can you explain what makes this happen and how to check on status when this happens?

Thanks,
Barb Sauer
