    이 태스크 정보

    Use this record to apply a manual hourly rate to a task that is performed automatically by your instance. To determine the savings realized from orchestrating a task, the system can evaluate whether those savings were estimated or calculated.
    • Estimated savings: Uses the labor rate, the time estimates for completion of the task, and the number of automations that have been run to determine savings.
    • Calculated savings: Uses the labor rate, the time calculated for completion of the task, based on the configured evaluation period, and the number of automations that have been run to determine savings.
