Manual updating of the current effort is painful and therefore inaccurate.
It would be helpful to be able to record the current effort automatically.

A solution could look like this
---------------------------------

Prerequisite:
Only the assigned user can activate time tracking.

Activation, deactivation and display options:
- in the "View Artifact" view
- in the workspace (widget "Artifacts")
- on the Kanban Board

Rules:
- The recording pauses during the usual breaks (breaks can be set by the user in "My settings").
- The recording stops automatically when the assignment is changed or removed.
- The recording stops automatically when the artifact is in a closed state.
- The recording stops automatically at the end of the working day (working time can be set by the user in "My settings").
- The recording stops automatically at logout (can be activated in "My settings")
- If the user is still logged in, the recording period is extended beyond the end of the working day (can be activated in "My settings").

Calculation and updating:
Current effort = current effort + elapsed time / number of artifacts recorded
Remaining effort = Remaining effort - past time / number of artifacts recorded
Update rate configurable per Teamforge instance or project

Helpful reports:
- Display remaining effort per user, tracker, planning folder, and so on. (also cross-project)
- Display estimated effort without assigned, tracker, schedule folder, and so on. (also cross-project)
