Hey everyone! I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to see the work log history for a specific person in JIRA. You know how we always leave comments and log our work on issues, right? Well, I’d love to be able to check out how many hours someone (or even myself) has worked on different days. It would be super helpful to see other info too, like what tasks they worked on or any notes they left. Is this something JIRA can do? I’ve looked around but can’t seem to find this feature. Has anyone else tried to do this before? Any tips or tricks would be awesome! Thanks in advance for your help!
As someone who’s been using JIRA for years, I’ve found a neat workaround for viewing work log history. While the built-in reports are helpful, they can be limiting. What I do is export all the issues a user has worked on to Excel. You can do this by running a JQL search for all issues where the user has logged work, then use the ‘Export’ option.
Once in Excel, I use pivot tables to break down the data by date, project, and issue. This gives me a detailed view of their work patterns, hours spent on different tasks, and even productivity trends over time. It’s a bit more work upfront, but the insights you can glean are incredible.
Just remember to respect privacy policies when digging into individual work logs. Always make sure you have the proper authorization before accessing or analyzing someone else’s work data.
You’re in luck! JIRA does offer a way to view work log history for specific users. To access this, navigate to the ‘Reports’ section in your JIRA project. Look for the ‘Workload’ or ‘Time Tracking’ report options. These typically allow you to filter by user and date range, giving you a comprehensive view of hours logged, tasks worked on, and any accompanying notes.
Another approach is to use JIRA’s powerful JQL (JIRA Query Language) to create a custom search. You can filter issues by a specific user and include work log details in the results. This method offers more flexibility in terms of data presentation.
Keep in mind that access to these features may depend on your JIRA permissions. If you’re having trouble finding them, it might be worth checking with your JIRA administrator for assistance or additional access rights.
i’ve found that the ‘tempo timesheets’ plugin is a neat way to check work log history. it lets you filter logs by date and project. u might need to ask ur jira admin to get it set up – it’s a slick alternative to default reports.
