Tempo Work Logged Column

The Tempo Work Logged column lets you view and manage Timesheets by Tempo work logged data within a structure:

  • Track logged and billable time alongside your project data

  • Aggregate the time spent across any project hierarchy

  • Create multiple columns to track specific users, time frames, billable/non-billable time, and more

Structure with Tempo Work Logged columns

The structure will only include issues and work logged data the active user has access to, based on their permission settings in Jira, Structure, and Timesheets.

Using work logged data in formulas

You can also use billable time and worklog properties in formulas. For more information, see: Timesheets by Tempo Integration.

Customizing a Work Logged Column

You can customize each Tempo Work Logged column to focus on specific time frames, users, billable time, and more:

  • Name - Give each Tempo Work Logged column a name specific to the data its displaying.

  • Period - Specify the time frame you want to include work logged data from.

  • Jira users - Select the users you want to include (the time displayed will be the sum of all selected users).

  • Billable time only - When checked, only time marked Billable will be included in the column total.

  • Extended duration format - When checked, logged time will be broken down by contributor.

  • Sum over sub-items - When checked, work logged values will be aggregated up your hierarchy.

  • Exclude filtered items - When checked, filtered items will not be included in the aggregate total. If this is left unchecked, the values of those items will be included in the calculation, even though they are not visible in the structure.

You can make as many Tempo Work Logged columns as you need. For example, you could add one column to display all work logged, and another to display just billable hours, so you can easily compare the two.

Grouping by Tempo Accounts, Teams, or Contributors

You can group issues in your structure based on their Tempo account, team, or contributors.

To do so, add a Group by Field generator (permanent) or Quick Group (temporary), and search for “tempo” in the Field dropdown.

Connecting Structure and Timesheets

Before you can utilize Logged Time data in Structure, the Jira admin needs to connect Structure with Tempo. If you receive a "Configuration required" message, contact your Jira administrator.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any problems adding or viewing a Tempo Work Logged column, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips.

  • Configuration Required - Ask your Jira administrator to connect Structure with Timesheets.

  • No data in the column - If you're not seeing any data in the column, or receiving an error message, check the following:

    • Is work logged data available for the Period you've selected? Try adjusting the period and see if you get any results.

    • Is there work logged data available for the Jira users you've selected? Try changing the selected users.

    • Do you have permission to view their work logged data? Try selecting just yourself.

  • Data doesn't match what others see - When viewing a shared structure, the results you see in the Tempo Logged Time column may differ from what someone else sees, if you have different permissions from them. For example, you may only be able to view time for your team members, while a portfolio manager may be able to view time across several teams.
