Log Work (JIRA Navigation)
- Smadoa GmbH
ictime adds a "Log Work" option to the JIRA navigation bar. Here you can directly log work without having to navigate to an issue or to your timesheet. In addition, you can log work for other users here, provided you have the respective permission.
Log Work from JIRA Navigation
If you have the respective permission, you can user the "Log Work" item in the JIRA navigation bar, next to the "ictime" navigation element:
If you are working with a very limited screen resolution or other add-on take space in the navigation bar, the option will look like follows:
Log Work Mask
The following interface opens in a separate window:
This chapter basically focusses on fields that are different compared to the "log work" option on the issue screen like
- select issue,
- select user
- and calculation of the remaining estimate.
For general information on logging work and the fields/options on this screen, please refer to Log Work (Issue Screen). In this chapter, we only describe those features that are not available in the Log Work screen that is opened from the JIRA issue screen.
Select Issue
To select an issue, start to type part of the issue description or key in the "Issue" field. The JIRA issue picker will return suggestions:
If activity types are activated in ictime (see Configure Activity Types), this interface will offer the activity type dropdown. This dropdown will be empty as long as you did not select an issue, as the activity types available for this issue might depend on your project configuration in ictime (see Project Activity Types). When you have selected an issue via the JIRA issue picker, the activity type dropdown will show the activity types available for the project this issue belongs to.
Add/Add & Close
You can add multiple work logs without closing the window if you click the "Add" button. If you only want to add one work log, click "Add and close".
Remaining Estimate
Please note that - contrary to Log Work (Issue Screen) - in this interface, you don't have an individual choice regarding the remaining estimate. The remaining estimate is always calculated automatically. If there is no original estimate, nothing is done.
Select User (Log Work for Other Users)
If you have the permission to log work for others, in addition you will be able to choose a different user. To select a user, start to type part of the user name, first name, last name or email in the "User" field. The JIRA user picker will return suggestions:
