A journey can be started within a ticket using the 'start journey button'. Once the journey is started a time will begin to track your travel time. Once you have arrived in site use the 'Arrive on site' action to stop the travel timer. Once your site visit has ended use the 'leave site' action, you will be prompted to complete some fields on the ticket, here you will need to log how much time you spent on site. A new timer will start automatically to count how long your journey home has taken. use the 'End journey' action once you have returned from the site visit. </p><p><br></p><p>Once a journey has begun a 'Journeys' tab will appear within the ticket, here you can see the travel time for your outgoing journey (to the site) and the travel time for your incoming journey (home from site). </p><p><br></p><p id="isPasted"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjM3MjQxNmE0LTJmMmItNDJhMi04YjM4LTQ3MWM3ZTMxNjdiZSJ9.ysuOrdqCMVkdMK28OlHxbObCIG65Bv70GazzM0HK0gg" width="981" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 983px; height: 176.639px;" height="177"></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><strong>Fig 1.

The "Leave Site" action will be configured with the "Quick Action" checkbox disabled, this means the agent will be able to select a charge type to set against the action. The selection of charge type may be important as the work carried out on-site could have a specific on-site charge rate associated to it.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><br></span></p><p><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Alternatively you can make "Leave Site" a quick action and then set the default charge type on the defaults tab of the action.
