As a team member, you also have a number of User Preferences to set your timesheet working environment in Jira. User Preferences are accessed from the Configure menu on the Time Reports pages.

  • Reporting Day: Specify on which day your week starts for reporting purposes.

  • Weekend Type: Select which days to be specified as the weekend.

  • Working Time In Status: Set your working times and break times to calculate hours in Time in Status and Resolution Time reports (otherwise, all elapsed time is used).

  • Maximum Fraction Digits: Specify the number of fraction digits used to display hours.

  • Time Tracking Columns: Select which columns are displayed in the Time Tracking Report and exported to files. Columns are displayed in the order that you select. If nothing is selected, all columns are displayed in the default order.
