Timesheet Builder – Hide worklogs from prying eyes

Hide worklogs from prying eyes

Jira work logs contain data on who worked on what task, when they worked on it and for how long. This kind of information can be considered sensitive, and yet there’s no way to make sure that only entitled people can access this information. Timesheet Builder finally closes this gap.

Attach attributes to worklogs

In Jira, all work logs seem the same. It is not possible to differentiate them and label them with arbitrary additional information, like ‘overtime’ or ‘billable’. Therefore there is no context as to what type of work log exists in any given ticket. With Timesheet Builder, this information can be attached directly to the work logs themselves.

Stuff you probably want to know

Does your app provide the possibility to create worklogs hidden from other users?

Yes, this feature is available in Data Center. The app provides the ability to create a secured team, and members of this team can create work logs that are visible only to permitted users – for example the team leader. Any other user will see this work log with the work log author and comment hidden. Read more about the concept here: Secured work logs | Data Center

Can I as a team lead see worklogs of my team mates?

Yes, to see your team members’ work logs in one view, you can set up a team and add your teammates with specific roles, calendars, and workloads. Once your team is created and set up, you can see the time booked for that team in the work log analysis view or get a high-level overview of time spent on the Overview page. Learn more with our team guide: Team lead Guide: Teams

Is it possible to mark worklogs as billable or non-billable?

Yes, if your team leader has added the work log attribute ‘Billable’, you will see a toggle next to the Time spent field. You can toggle between on and off to mark your work log as billable or non-billable. Learn more about managing worklog attributes: Worklogs subsection | Worklog attributes

Can I prevent my team mates from booking time to closed issues or to issues from another project?

Yes, as a team leader you can set the scope of projects and issues where your team members are allowed to add work logs. You can even select some specific issue statuses to prevent users from booking time for issues in these statuses. To limit the scope, please refer to our guide: How to set issue scope where team members can log time?

Is it possible to calculate spent time automatically?

Yes, if you don’t want to manually calculate the time between the start time and the end time of your work, you can use the timer feature. The timer appears in an issue as a panel. All you need to do is click the play button when you start working on something. Once you are done, click the stop button. The time will be calculated automatically. Please read more about booking time using the timer feature: Track time with your timer in the issue view
