Most of the time, our employees do not choose an activity type when registering time.

- So almost all time registrations are the default value: [Not Set]

 

We suggest a configuration setting which would encourage users to actively choose an activity type.

- E.g. leave the field empty, so the user can't add time without choosing activity type.

  Hi Artjom,

  Nice feature request, I'll put it into our future feature with Rules for time tracking.

  Maybe until then I have intermediate solution for you: do you know that every user can define his own default activity type? Developers could set e.g. Development and testers Testing.

  It is available under Configuration->Activity Types.

  This is a problem for us as well.

  Setting the default activity type often means that the default is used when it shouldn't be!

  Having the option in the 7pace Configuration to make the Activity Type be a required field would be a great addition.  The Timesheet view may need to be enhanced though to pop up the time entry screen after time is added to a task/PBI/bug/etc. so that the user can select the Activity Type.

  @maneesha Yallanti, no it is not. This is just a feature request. It may get added in the future.

  We would also like this feature developed.
