How to create a personal time tracking report in Jira?

Hey everyone! I’m trying to track my daily work in Jira more effectively. Does anyone know if there’s a simple way to get a report of my logged work?

I’m looking for something that shows:

  • Time spent on tasks
  • Comments I’ve added
  • Related tickets and epics

I’ve tried a few methods, but they don’t quite give me what I need. It would be great if I could do this without installing extra plugins.

Basically, I want to see a summary of my day’s work, including the actual tasks I completed, not just the hours logged. Any ideas on how to set this up? Thanks in advance for your help!

yo, i found a neat trick for this! create a filter with JQL: ‘worklogAuthor = currentUser() AND worklogDate >= startOfDay(-7)’. then make a dashboard with this filter. add ‘Time Tracking’ and ‘Activity Stream’ gadgets.

boom! you got a weekly summary of ur work, time logged, and comments. it’s not fancy but gets the job done without extra plugins. hope this helps!

Having experimented with various Jira setups, I’ve found a method that might suit your needs without additional plugins. Create a custom filter using JQL: ‘worklogAuthor = currentUser() AND updated >= startOfDay()’. This captures your daily activities comprehensively.

Next, set up a dashboard with this filter as the base. Add gadgets like ‘Filter Results’ to show tasks, ‘Time Since Issues’ for time tracking, and ‘Activity Stream’ for comments and updates. Configure each to display only your work.

For a quick daily review, simply open this dashboard each morning. It provides a snapshot of your previous day’s work, including time spent, comments, and related issues. While not as detailed as some paid solutions, this approach offers a solid overview of your daily contributions without the need for extra installations.

I’ve been using Jira for years, and I’ve found a pretty effective way to create personal time tracking reports without extra plugins. Here’s what works for me:

First, use the ‘Time Spent’ field religiously. Log your time as you go, or at least at the end of each day. It’s a pain at first, but it becomes second nature.

For a comprehensive view, I create a custom dashboard. Add gadgets for ‘Created vs. Resolved Issues’, ‘Two-Dimensional Filter Statistics’, and ‘Activity Stream’. Configure these to show only your work.

The Activity Stream is particularly useful for seeing comments and related tickets. You can filter it to show only your activities.

For a quick daily summary, use JQL queries. Something like ‘worklogAuthor = currentUser() AND worklogDate = startOfDay()’ will show all issues you’ve logged time on today.

It’s not perfect, but it gives a good overview without needing additional tools. Hope this helps!
