Auto-Pause Feature in Zendesk Time Tracking
How does the auto-pause feature work in the Time Tracking app?
The auto-pause feature in the Time Tracking app automatically pauses the timer when an agent navigates away from the ticket.
This occurs when switching between ticket tabs within Zendesk, not when switching browser tabs or when the workstation is inactive. If auto-pause is turned off, the timer will continue running as long as the ticket is open, even if it's not the active tab.
