Quick Edit

The Quick Edit feature provides an interface to quickly edit existing issues from the homepage using a limited set of configured fields. Administrators should determine which fields are used the most often by agents and which fields are used the least and configure the Quick Edit feature accordingly. Enabling this feature and configuring it to display only frequently used fields means agents can more quickly conclude their business on an issue page without having to search for the relevant fields. The Quick Edit feature also provides the following Time Tracking functions: enter manual time spent, save automatic time spent, stop the clock, and add comments to the time entered. It does not allow you to time, add or remove time records, or change Start and End date time.

Quick Edit is configured on a workspace-by-workspace basis.

  1. Select Administration from the FootPrints Toolbar, then select Workspace from the menu.
  2. From the workspace administration page, select Workspace Options.
  3. Select the Quick Edit tab.
  4. Click the Enabled radio button.
  5. Enter your password and click SAVE.
