Catching "start working" events

Hi

If I start working on a work item (for example by dragging it to my <Current> place on the bottom of the RTC client) - can this generate an event in the event log?

I have a customer who wants to try and get start/stop work into a time management/timesheet system - and we were thinking events might be the way to do this.

Any other suggestions on how to capture time events for external systems (via the API, JRS or similar) would be gratefully received.

thanks

anthony

Hm, I don't think that the trim sends an event, but can use an
IWorkingCopyListener that checks for the state transition:
new->in_progress. When using the trim the state is updated and that way
you'll be noticed about it.

Hi Anthony,

starting/stopping work on a work item results in a change-event on the server which is producing an entry in the event log. The customer has to subscribe to the feed that shows changes for the team area the work item is in. You can create such a feed by right-clicking on the team area and selecting "Subscribe to Team Events".

Hope that helps,
Ben
