How to phrase this

Oh wise mumnetters, I need your help as I have a complete brain freeze.
I perform a task 100+ times a day, that requires 18 mouse clicks each time. It's something similar to clicking "yes"on a questionnaire 18 times.
It's driving me crazy, so I am sending a request to the IT department, to investigate a more efficient approach.
How can I professionally describe 18 clicks?
I'm thinking of describing 18 entry points, but it doesn't sound good.
I would appreciate any suggestions please?

@Brainfreeze23 If you can do a process map (flow chart) showing each decision point (mouse click). This is an ‘as is’ process map and helps make them visualise the process.

18 clicks is the correct way to put it. It sounds as if you need them to set up a macro shortcut, which can be quite straightforward.

@minipie Thanks for the reassurance. I thought it might sound too casual/informal

I would honestly say 18 mouse clicks. Clarity is key here.
