Productivity data permits you to assess work loads and to locate problem areas so that you can reduce conditions causing delays. The application includes functionality for entering and maintaining this data.
When you route an RPA, the application enters an RPA status in the Routing History, such as Authorized. Some actions that you take to process an RPA are external to the RPA, such as placing phone calls or obtaining confirmation from another organizations. You can record these actions using the Event History window.
When an event (action) occurs, you enter an event code and the start and end date on which the actions occurred. The application automatically supplies the event descriptions and calculates the elapsed time for you in days, skipping weekends. You can also add comments about the event in the comments field.
For example, if you make someone a job offer, you could choose an event code for that action and enter the date on which you made the job offer. When the applicant accepts, you would record the acceptance date, and the application would complete the necessary descriptions and calculate the elapsed time.
Each RPA that you initiate has an associated Event History window as does each Position that you create.
Note: Cancellations and Corrections are new actions, so the Event History for these actions is not a continuation of the original RPA.
