Viewing a Timesheet

To view a timesheet go to Apps > Clockwork from the main Jira menu and click Timesheets in the left nav bar.

The Timesheet in the My Work tab shows the timesheet of the currently logged user, while the one in the Timesheet tab shows the timesheet of all users. You can define who should have access to the Timesheet tab in Permissions.

Order Breakdowns

If you are breaking timesheets down by multiple elements, use the arrows on the labels to put them in the intended order.

The example below shows a timesheet for a custom date range for 3 selected projects, filtered for a single team broken down by users, epics, and issues.

View the Worklogs Details

To see which worklogs contributed to a summed value on a single day or week, click on the entry.
A pop-up will appear and you’ll be able to see the worklogs and their details. The PRO VERSION ONLYincludes how the time was logged (manually, clocked, or automatically).

Add a Column to the Timesheet

This feature is only available in Clockwork Pro

The header row of the timesheet includes a dropdown that lets you add one of four additional columns:

Original Estimate vs Remaining Estimate

Adding the Original/Remaining Estimate option displays two additional columns on the left side of the timesheet, allowing you to see the Original Estimate, and the Remaining Estimate next to the actual Total Time Spent during the timeframe.

Original and Remaining Estimates vs Time Spent

Epics and other parent work items will show the sum of Estimated, Remaining and currently logged time for all of their child items. Drilling down on the epic will show the values of the individual child items.

To use this feature, add an Original estimate on the the work item. The Estimate will be used with time logged to calculate the Time remaining.

Clockwork will update the Time remaining automatically when you:

  • Move a work item out of an active status (if automatic time tracking is enabled)

  • Stop a timer

  • Log time manually

You can also change the Time Remaining when adding time manually, or update it directly on the Jira work item.

Other Available Columns

In addition to Original and Remaining Estimates, Clockwork allows you to add a column for:

  • Components

  • Current Status

  • Labels
