Creating Worklogs
In addition to using timers, Clockwork allows users to create worklogs manually.
Creating Worklogs from an Issue
As an alternative to using timers, users can create worklogs manually by clicking the + button on the Clockwork UI.
A dialog will open prompting the user to enter the time worked and optional details (description, worklog attributes, etc.).
Creating Worklogs from the Timesheet
Navigate to My Work > Timesheet. From your Timesheet, you can either add a worklog directly from an existing timesheet line or add a completely new one.
To do it from the Timesheet line:
Navigate to the date you want to add the worklog to and click on the time entry.
The worklog dialog will pop up and the issue will be already selected.
Enter the time worked and the other additional details (description, worklog attributes, etc.), if required, and save.
To add time to a completely new issue on the Timesheet:
Click on the Add Worklog button in the top right corner.
The worklog dialog will pop up.
Enter the appropriate Jira issue, or select the issue from those shown in the dropdown.
Fill in additional details (description, worklog attributes, etc.) in the dialog and save.
Creating Worklogs from the Calendar
This feature is only available in Clockwork Pro.
In Clockwork Pro, users can also create worklogs by clicking on the appropriate day/time slots in the Calendar View:
Navigate to Apps > Clockwork > My Work and select the Calendar tab.
Click and drag on the appropriate date/time slot.
Enter the appropriate Jira issue, or select the issue from those shown in the dropdown.
Enter additional details (description, worklog attributes, etc.) in the dialog.
Note that if a worklog is created for the incorrect date/time, it can be dragged to the correct time slot.
Google Calendar Integration
You can integrate your Google Calendar with Clockwork to show scheduled events on the calendar view of your Clockwork timesheet.
To create a worklog, navigate to Apps > Clockwork > My Work and select the Calendar tab.
Click on the Google calendar icon in the upper right corner to show calendar events in Clockwork.
The icon will be colored when events are shown, and grayscale when events are hidden.
If your Google calendar is not already connected to Clockwork, you will see a pop-up from Google stating that clockwork.report want to access your Google calendar. Click the checkbox for View events on all your calendars.
Click Continue. The events will not be visible on the Clockwork calendar.
Click on the appropriate event in the Clockwork calendar.
Select the Jira issues from the dropdown, or type in the issue key.
The worklog dialogue will open with the date and time fields pre-populated from the calendar event. Complete any other required fields.
Click Save.
Starring your issues as favorites
This feature is only available in Clockwork Pro.
If you want an issue to be saved as a favorite and appear in Starred items section in the search:
start typing the name of the issue
mark the star on the right of the issue name before selecting it
Now, every time you just click on the search in the worklog dialog in every Clockwork view (Issue, Timesheet, Calendar), you’ll be able to select an issue from your starred items.
To remove an item from your favorites, just click on the search and click the star once again.
Time Formats
Clockwork accepts the following time formats:
1:15 for one hour and 15 minutes
1h 15m for one hour and 15 minutes
1.25 for one hour and 15 minutes
1h for one hour
1.0 for one hour
15m for 15 minutes
15 for 15 minutes
0.25 for 15 minutes
Time Remaining
When you manually create a worklog, you have the option to add Remaining Time. This allows you to show an estimate of how much time will be needed to resolve the issue. Whenever work is logged on the issue, the remaining time will be recalculated.
The Remaining Time estimate can be manually changed when creating new worklogs, or by editing an existing worklog.
