time difference is in seconds. So to get minutes, just divide by 60, then use your normal rules for less than 30 minutes, etc.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean “<=30 mins then the total assignments” - explain a bit more.

I need to show the resolution time ,so here <= 30 mins is for showing the documents which are having theresolution time <=30.

how i will calculate the time from the date time field using lotus script,plz explain me.

I need closed-assigned in time format then i need to put the data in report using mins and hours format.

What is “resolution time” - is that the difference between closed and assigned?

If that is so, then create a new hidden field (call it timediff), computed, to subtract closed from assigned and divide by 60. Then you can simply put the documents in a view with the first categorized column being a formula based on timediff, something like this …

@If(timediff<30;“AAA”;timediff>30 & timediff<=240;“BBB”;“CCC”)

Make sure the Select formul for the view only accepts documents with a valid timediff field.
