The system does not provide the UI to select just fields for tracking time. You have to select a field and set up a dummy cycle time group. Once a group is set up for a field the system will start capturing duration every time the field value changes.
To access, go to the Cycle Time Group Tab. If the tab does not exist, select the Admin tab and click the Cycle Time Group link. Ensure that the APTS_CycleTimeReportingEnabled admin setting value is set to true.
Cycle Time Groups must be with the following details:
