Trend Report

This report displays time used and is broken down into billable, non-billable and purchased time for a specific client/project. A graph visually displays the monthly time for these clients/projects, and shows an average line for the period. If volume is selected, the data shown will be for the number of tickets.

 

To run a full report, as with most of the report sections, the pull downs are left at the default (Select One) and the default time period of Last 3 Months.

If you selected Time Logged as the time option, but now want to see Bought as well, check the box next to Bought in the summary below the grid. The report will redisplay with the additional information.
