I tried to determine some of this information from FB7's help, but when&nbsp;I click on "Help" in the "Set Metrics" action, I get no match in the help file. Searching for metrics in the help file didn't come up with a suitable match for this action, either.

What we really need is a graph of how long it takes to build a whole project (day-to-day). We are trying to provide important metrics to management regarding time spent building. Our builds are really long, and it's great to see if there's an overall decrease or an increase in our build time trend.

Is there any way to do this? It's really high visibility here.

Thanks.

Clarification: we’d like the graph to appear in the FB7 server web client.

Hi   
  
 Download and install yesterday’s update to FB7 and FBServer 7… there is a new Build Duration graph on the metrics page.
