Clicking on the ellipsis of a ticket category will show you options to edit and delete the category. The Show Activity button lets you see the activity history of the category - you can see when the category was created and by who and you can see if any subsequent edits have been made, when they were made and by who.&#x20;

### Adding an Initial Estimated Effort Timer and Record Count to Tickets

When you are creating or editing a tier 3 ticket, you will be able to set an initial estimated effort per record timer and chose if you want the record count to be visible to Work Manager users working on that ticket. You will also be able to write a record count description that will be displayed for the Work Manager user. While the description is optional, it is recommended that you write one as it can make clear to Work Manager users how to use the record count.
