How to use measurement (Part1)

Easy Tracker 2008 integrates measurement items insides.
With these measurement items, you can collect some data in Easy Tracker Lite easily and quickly.
For example, to review a document, you may want to get these measurement items: how many pages have been reviewed, how many bugs have been found, etc. All of these data can be collected in the time entries. With these data, you can get a clear view of your productivity.
One task provides three measurement items to measure. If there are more than 3 items to measure, you need consider to choose the most important 3 items from them.
Note: once a user has used the measure item to track a task, you should prevent altering the measure item name, otherwise the previous created time entries may use the wrong item names, and the reports or statistics may not correct.
Inheritance explanation:

• Time Entries <= Tasks <= Preferences


• Measurement Item Name and Hint of Time Entries inherit from Tasks.


• Measurement Item Name and Hint of Tasks inherit from Preferences.

You can enter measurement information in Time Tracker or Time Log view in General Category of Easy Tracker Lite, and view them in Measurement part of Time Log view.

The following table describes the fields of these three measurement items.
