Automated Export Rounding

[BlythMeister]

Raised by email:

I would like to have a setting where time can be rounded to the nearest X minutes. In my organization, they want us to round to 30 minute increments (don’t ask me why), so if I log 28 minutes and 14 seconds, I want it to round to 30 minutes without having to adjust the timers.

Question posed:

To confirm, this could also mean if you have 44 minutes, it would round down to 30.
and if you had 14 minutes, round down to 0?

Answer:

Yes. As strange as it sounds, that is correct.

Answer later updated to:

Always round up to the nearest x configurable minutes

Done a spike but the reporting of what is to export and what has been exported gets very messy when time is rounded.

Moving to the backlog until i have more time to flesh this idea out.
The main issues being automated round up will adjust all timers on export.
It has to be opt in, with config time.

Currently we always round down to 1 minute.

So 40 seconds becomes 0 minute.
1 minute 40 seconds becomes 1 minute.
And so on.

This new logic means 40 seconds could be 1 minute (or even 5)
This means the export logic needs to work out that this should be exported and once exported, the timer becomes the export time automatically.
