Within the Maintenance section - there is a new header - 'Servicing Time Capture'. By default - this will be set to Off but allows for 2 settings - Duration and 'Start + Duration'. Duration just prompts and captures the Duration of time taken on the Repair - which can be entered in across multiple days allowing for a full total time at the end. Start + Duration allows for selecting the Start Time of the Repair and total time from there.
