Timesheet

1. Overview

The Timesheet module provides a powerful interface for reviewing, logging, and managing work time. It supports two distinct visualization modes:

• Issue View – Focused on individual Jira issues and their associated worklogs.

• Project View – Aggregates time tracking by project for a broader perspective.

Both views support filtering, exporting, and daily/weekly display toggles, offering flexibility for team members, project leads, and admins.

2. View by Issue

2.1 Purpose

This mode is designed to give fine-grained visibility over how time is distributed across issues — great for sprint reviews and effort tracking.

2.2 Interface

1- Left Sidebar: Lists all issues visible to the user (with optional filters: assigned to me, projects, filters).

2- Timeline Grid:

• Columns represent days of the selected month.

• Rows represent issues.

• Time spent is logged in each cell and aggregated per row.

3- Month Navigator: Move between months using arrows or click the month label for a date picker.

4- Column Customization: Use the Columns dropdown to choose which data to display (Issue key, Type, Status, etc.).

5- Filter Options: Narrow down data using jira filters or specific project selection.

6- Display Mode: Toggle between DAILY and WEEKLY to change aggregation level.

7- Export: Export the table in CSV or Excel format for audits, reporting, or archival.

3. View by Project

3.1 Purpose

Project View offers an aggregated snapshot of time spent across entire projects. This is useful for stakeholders needing a high-level view, including velocity analysis and project-level forecasting.

3.2 Interface

1- Left Sidebar: Shows all accessible projects grouped by category (with optional filters: assigned to me, projects).

2- Timeline Grid:

• Columns represent calendar days.

• Rows display selected projects.

• Time values show how much effort was allocated to the project each day.

3- Filter Options: Narrow down data using jira filters or specific project selection.

4- Time Navigation: Scroll or jump to different months.

5- Display Toggles: DAILY and WEEKLY summaries for flexible insights.

6- Export Support: Available for both granular and summary-level exports.

4. Logging Work in the Timesheet Module

The Timesheet module provides a seamless interface for logging work directly against issues or projects. Here's how to accurately track and record work time using the intuitive features of the module.

4.1 Opening the Worklog Dialog

To begin logging time:

• Navigate to the Timesheet section.

• Hover over a project or issue from the left sidebar.

• Click the plus (+) icon next to the desired project or issue.

This action opens the Log Work modal where you can start inputting your time.

Open

4.2 Filling Out the Worklog

The Log Work dialog contains the following fields:

• Issue: Search and select the issue you want to log work for. If you initiated the modal from a specific project or issue, it will be pre-filled.

• Time Spent: Input the duration of time worked. You can use standard Jira time format:

  • w for weeks

  • d for days

  • h for hours

  • m for minutes
    Example: 2h 30m, 1d 4h

• Time Remaining (Optional): Enter how much estimated work is left.

Once completed, click Save.

4.3 Confirmation & Feedback

Upon successful submission:

• A confirmation banner will appear: "Successfully logged work".

• The new entry will immediately be visible in the corresponding cell of the timesheet.

You can see the logged time aligned with the date and the selected project or issue.

4.4 Real-Time Visualization

After logging, the Timesheet grid updates in real time to reflect:

• Cumulative time per day

• Total time spent per issue/project

• Updated values in the Time Spent column

This ensures transparency and instant visibility for all work entries.
