Discussion: After_hours_collaboration_hours does not contain all after-hour metrics

[juliajuju93]

Describe the bug
Looking at my data I saw that After_hours_collaboration_hours does only contain emails and meeting metrics. I had to also merge calls and IMs with them

Expected behavior
data2 <- data %>% mutate(After_hours_collaboration_hours =
select(.,
After_hours_email_hours,
After_hours_meeting_hours,
After_hours_in_calls,
After_hours_instant_messages) %>%
apply(1, sum))

@juliajuju93 Thanks for the issue! The crux of this is that After_hours_collaboration_hours is dependent on the product computation, so it may be confusing for the user if the function re-computes this. We can provide more clarity on the documentation, but the rationale behind limiting such calculations is to make sure that the metrics users compute from {wpa} would map on to the definitions they find in the product documentation. Does that make sense or help?

Also take into account that calls and meetings overlap! :)

In any case, this should get fixed soon in the product itself 👍🏽

Perfect - thank you guys for the explanation! It does make sense now. Just trying to recreate the WoW and I had to use this function to get the wished outcome

I am working with demo data set and experiencing the same issue. Thanks team!

This will be something that has to be addressed with Workplace Analytics rather than this R package - closing this issue now.
