How to Use Stall-Time Metrics for Each Stage From a Single-Select Field
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?
- Create or edit the single-select field (like "status").
- Locate the log metrics option in the field's settings.
- Turn it on.
- 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.
