Overview
Orange Tracker (OT) has the ability to track time and log work within individual issues of the project.
- The Estimated field displays the amount of time originally anticipated to solve the issue. This value can be entered before work is logged and cannot be changed once work has been logged.
- The Remaining field displays the amount of time currently anticipated to solve the issue
- The Logged field displays the amount of time logged working on the issue so far
Log Work
To log your work, Go to More pull-down and select Log Work
When you log time for an issue, the time spent is subtracted from the original estimate, and the resulting value is automatically presented in the remaining estimate.
| Log Work field | Description |
|---|---|
| Time spent | The amount of time spent on the issue. This is the aggregate amount of time that has been logged against this issue. |
| Date started | Date and time when you started this unit of work. |
| Remaining estimated | Amount of time anticipated to resolve the issue after completing this unit of work. You can adjust this value using the following options:

You can also log work while resolving or closing an issue by editing the log work fields
