Step 1. Navigate to the issue/task you want to work with.

Step 2. Click Start button in the timer window.

Step 3. After starting the following options are available:

 

  1. The label just shows your current issue you are working with.

  2. If you want to stop tracking time and log it, make sure that your timer status is in the started state by running the clock and see how much time did you track.

  3. Stop - stops the timer and opens Log Work window.

  4. Pause/Continue - pauses the timer.

  5. Cancel - stops the timer and cancels the timer data.

     

 

 

Log Work window configurations.

 

Log Work window will open after clicking Stop button.

Below you will find a description of the Log Work configurations:

  1. Time Spent - the amount of time logged working on the issue so far or while performing this Jira operation.

  2. Date Started - the date and time when you started this unit of work.

Remaining Estimate - the amount of time anticipated to resolve the issue after completing this unit of work. You can adjust this value using the following options:

3. Adjust Automatically - adjusts the Remaining Estimate value by subtracting the amount of work logged in the Time Spent field from the Remaining Estimate's current value.

4. Use Existing Estimate of ... - does not adjust the Remaining Estimate value, leaving its current value 'as is'.

5. Set to ... - adjust the Remaining Estimate value to the amount of time you specify in this field.

6. Reduce by ... - adjusts the Remaining Estimate value by subtracting the amount of time you specify in this field.

7. If the Work Description text box is not available when logging work, then any text entered into the Comment text box will be copied across to the Work Description.

Field Values:

  • You can specify a time unit after a time value 'X', such as Xw, Xd, Xh, or Xm, to represent weeks (w), days (d), hours (h), and minutes (m), respectively.

  • If you do not specify a time unit, a minute will be assumed.

  • Your current conversion rates are 1w = 5d and 1d = 8h.
