Hi over there,

Please let me know the difference between transaction drivers and duration drivers


Thanks Zafar

A transaction driver is just the number of times something happens. A duration driver is the number of hours (or other time increment) something happens.

It's like the difference between a tax accountant charging by the number of forms used for someone's taxes (transaction) versus the number of hours it takes to do their taxes (duration). That is - the same activity can sometimes be done either way.
