Detail Configuration

This tab is used to increase the level of granularity for what can be entered into an activity-based work item type's timesheet. Some organizations have a need to track time at a more granular level. For example, help desk support personnel may spend eight hours responding to issues, but that time may be spread over supporting several applications across different business units.
