How to activate tracking of time spent on bug ?

[lesdoudous]

Hi all,

I'm pretty new to Mantis BT. That tool is great to track bugs into softwares we provide to clients.
We're a small team and we want to estimate the time to spend & track the time really spent on each bug !
I didn't find any way to do that
I ve been googling that, searching the forum, online doc and can't find how to do that... (I'm frernch, my english isn't that great).

I forgot to add this :
Version used is 1.1.5 (planning to upgrade to 1.1.6 soon).

I found by myself

You have to activate it into the config file.

We added this :

Code: Select all

	#####################
	# Time tracking
	#####################

	# Turn on Time Tracking accounting
	$g_time_tracking_enabled = ON;

	# A billing sums
	$g_time_tracking_with_billing = OFF;

	# Stop watch to build time tracking field
	$g_time_tracking_stopwatch = ON;

	# access level required to view time tracking information
	$g_time_tracking_view_threshold = DEVELOPER;

	# access level required to add/edit time tracking information
	$g_time_tracking_edit_threshold = DEVELOPER;

	# access level required to run reports
	$g_time_tracking_reporting_threshold = MANAGER;

	#allow time tracking to be recorded without a bugnote
	$g_time_tracking_without_note = ON;

Hello,

I've added the code above in my config file and I still don't get any of the time tracking features.

Are there any other switches or things I should check for?

Thanks,

time tracking is a new feature in Mantis 1.2
But 1.2 is still in RC state so either you decide to run a rc version or you wait until there is a stable release of Mantis 1.2

Thanks for the reply.
I'm running 1.2 RC now. Looked everywhere and couldn't find where I can activate the time tracking feature.

Any ideas?

Is time tracking working now? I can't get it to work as described herein.
If not, you should take it off of the feature list.
