A counter tracks the amount of time or the number of instances within a given period.
In Settings > Global Time Rules, open the Counters tab and click Add.
Note: If you do not see this view, ask your account administrator for the appropriate permissions.
2. Enter the counter name, select the Rule Value Type and click Save.
Value types:
Number of instances – the value increases by 1 each time the source appears in a day.
Number of days with instances – the value increases by 1 only on the first appearance of the source in a day (the daily value is 0 or 1).
Time value – the counter sums the time of the related sources within a day.
3. In the Configuration section, click the edit icon and set the counter parameters:
Sources – the source that increases or decreases the counter value (e.g. an absence or a calculation result).
Conditions: Source categories – the counter only includes the selected category (e.g. Sick leave).
Conditions: Days – the counter only includes the selected days.
Conditions: Intervals – the counter only includes time between the From and To values.
Restrictions by values – limits the calculation with a daily threshold condition.
Action Events – automatically change the counter value; not required for basic counters.
4. Click Save and select the period from which the counter applies.
