Priorities

This version enables you to specify the number of days when creating a priority and defining the duration of its ticket defaults. You can now set a number of days for the following ticket defaults:

• Expected Due Duration
• Expected Fix Duration
• Expected Response Duration

The format of the duration field is now ddd:hh:mm:ss, where ddd is days, hh is hours, mm is minutes and ss is seconds. The maximum number of days you can set is 999.

Previous versions allowed the entry of more than 24 hours by setting a value greater than 24. With this change, priorities that have more than 24 hours are recalculated and the appropriate number of days are established for the duration. For example, if the value for a priority duration was set to 27:10:00 in the previous version, Track-It! now displays the duration as 001:03:10:00.
