Logging Your Time in a Jira Work Item
When you work in Jira all day, it's easy to log your time on the work item you're working on.
Before You Begin
Logging time for yourself requires the Work On Issues permission for the project to which the work item belongs.
Logging time for other team members requires the Log Work for Others permission.
To view all work logged against a work item, you need the View All Worklogs Jira project permission.
Log Time in a Jira Work Item
There are two ways to log time in a Jira work item:
Click Open Tempo at the bottom of the issue's side panel to open the Tempo panel on the right side.
Click the Log Time button in the Tempo panel on the right.
Fill in the Log Time Form and log time.
If Tempo Timesheets is not set as the time-tracking provider for your Jira instance, you cannot log time in the Tempo panels here - see https://tempo-io.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HCTIMESHEETS/pages/3374515594 for details.
You can press the w key from anywhere within Jira to open the Log Time form and start logging your time. In some browsers, pressing w also toggles the Watch Issue option for the Jira work item.
To go to My Work from anywhere in Jira, press the g+t keys or click Go to My Work in the Log Time Form.
To edit your worklogs, see Editing Your Worklogs in a Jira Work Item.
If you’re logging time for someone else, the user field dropdown list will remain empty until you begin typing.
If you delete a Jira work item, the associated worklogs are also removed.
