In **Jestor**, a single-select field — like a supplier or stage status — can enable log metrics that show how long each record stays stalled in a stage and the movement time between stages on the Kanban.

## Why do these metrics depend on a single-select field?

Since a single-select field represents the record's stage or status, it's the natural trigger for measuring how long an item stays in a given state before moving to another.

## What do log metrics from a single-select field show?

| Metric                           | What it measures                              |
| -------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| **Stall time in a stage**        | How long the card stays in the same stage     |
| **Movement time between stages** | Speed of transition from one stage to another |

## How to enable log metrics on a single-select field?

1. Create or edit the single-select field (like "status").
2. Locate the log metrics option in the field's settings.
3. Turn it on.
4. Use these metrics later in the Kanban view to spot bottlenecks.

## Why choose Jestor to measure process time?

**Jestor** turns a simple status field into a source of operational metrics, helping identify at which stage records stay stuck the longest, without needing a separate BI tool.

### Can any single-select field generate these metrics?

Yes, as long as the log metrics option is enabled in that field's settings.

### Do these metrics automatically appear on the Kanban?

Yes, once enabled, they become available to check in the Kanban view.

### Does this only work for supplier status, or for any process?

It works for any single-select field used as a stage or status in any process.
