This is how you create a time tracking report practically:<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/h2>\n

a) Choose the Jira area \u201creports\u201d:<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4863″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][heading title=”Step 2:” heading=”h2″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1626173917586-e9a33553-d634″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

a) Choose in the first drop down menu the version on which the report has to be made.<\/p>\n

b) Select in the next drop down menu your preferred sorting on which the issues should be displayed. Either \u201cMost completed issues first\u201d or \u201cLeast completed issues first\u201d.<\/p>\n

c) Choose in the next menu if you want to include \u201cAll\u201d or \u201cIncomplete issues only\u201d in your time tracking.<\/p>\n

d) Select in the last drop down menu which subtasks should be included: Either \u201cOnly including sub-tasks with the selected version\u201d or \u201cAlso including sub-tasks without a version set\u201d or \u201cIncluding all sub-tasks\u201d.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”4865″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

e) Click on \u201cNext\u201d and your time tracking report will be created.<\/p>\n

You can now export this created report in Excel and use it for the evaluation of the work of your team.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][heading title=”Limitations of the standard time tracking function in Jira” heading=”h2″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1626175115742-1e34d82a-1b86″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

If you evaluate this created report, you will notice some limitations of the standard time tracking function of Jira very quickly. For example, you can\u2019t track the time for specific groups or teams and can not group it based on a label, epic, component or any other Jira field. Moreover, you can\u2019t track the time for a specific user, which makes the invoicing of client projects much more complicated.<\/p>\n

To fill these and the other gaps of the standard time tracking function of Jira, Actonic <\/span>has developed the Jira app Report Builder.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][heading title=”Report Builder as the solution for the limitations of the standard Jira time tracking function” heading=”h2″ font_weight=”” el_id=”1626175162303-4582a666-67d2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
