The real solution is to fix the clocks on your workstations. As I recall in
HD 3.0, the Arrived time is set by an active link on the client, and the
Assigned time by a filter on the server. (Or vice versa?)
If you don't start using something like NTP to sync up your clocks, you
will continue to fight this battle in other areas.
I had a similar problem when I added work flow to HD 3.0 to compute the
time we spent working the call that generated the ticket in the first
place. Initially, we assigned Start Time via an active link when the user
hit RETURN in the customer ID field, and set Stop Time in a filter. If the
PC's clock was slower than the server, this would result in negative call
durations, which caused other problems. My solution here was to handle both
computations via active links on the client.
