Friendly Format Toggle
The Friendly Format toggle visualizes time metrics from raw decimal values into readable time units (days, hours, minutes).
Depending on your selected Time Unit, the same decimal value will be displayed with different levels of detail. The following table illustrates the different visualizations for 523 minutes when the Friendly format is OFF or ON:
Time Unit | Friendly Format OFF (decimal view) | Friendly Format ON (time-readable view) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Days | 0.36319444444444 | 0d 9h | The friendly format represents the decimal to the nearest hour to keep the “Days” view clean. |
Hours | 8.7166666666667 | 8h 43m | The app provides more detail (minutes) because the time unit is smaller, “Hours“. |
Minutes | 523 | 523m | Maintains the exact minute count as it is the smallest unit while adding the unit label. |
You can use Friendly Format instead of Rounding Options to keep your charts clean, or in addition to rounding, if you need to control how the underlying decimals are calculated before the friendly conversion.
