# Focus Tracker Metric

Overview: This metric gathers data about what class file is currently open for development. It lists the time the focus changes from one file to another and the file names. This metric is useful in calculating how much time a user spends working on a class as this information would be useful to a team manager for working out what files are causing significant problems in development. It could also be used to show who was working on what files. Please enter your text here.

To collect metric data: The focus tracker automatically loads when the Process Metrics plug in is loaded. It does not matter whether the program is in offline or online mode. Every time the user changes the focus in the eclipse workbench the time and file that has come into focus is displayed in the graphical interface at the bottom of the program. This data is also sent to the server to be stored for later analysis. To ensure the data being displayed is up to date the user can click the 'Refresh' button.
