Account custom field

The Tempo Account custom field is installed automatically with Tempo Accounts. To make use of the field in relation to the Tempo Products it needs to be associated in one of the following two ways:

  • On a JIRA Issue level, which requires adding association with issue screens (see below).
  • To Tempo Timesheets worklogs, which requires to add Account as a Worklog Attribute and the field will appear in the Log Work dialog.

The field is in both cases a drop-down showing accounts linked to the project, which the JIRA issue belongs to. JIRA project(s) are linked to an account, when it is createdimported or when it is being configured.

(info) By activating accounts, Accounts JQL Functions become available.

     The Account Custom Field is locked as it is required in Tempo. If you are not using the Tempo Accounts feature, remove this field from all your screens

The field is also used in Tempo Timesheets to produce revenue calculations for hours and expenses logged on an account.
