Reports consist of work log details and a financial summary (see Reports: Financial Summary). This chapter explains all available options for the work log details of a report.

Work Log Details

You can hide/show the work log details - in all view modes - by clicking on the headline.

Work log details can be displayed in two different view modes that are available as tabs:

  • list view (list of all work logs sorted by date/time descending)
  • structured view (grouped by project and issue).

In addition, there might be an additional tab called "Warnings". This tab appears if your report contains broken work logs that have been caused by moving issues between different projects in JIRA. For details, refer to Repair Work Logs (Moved Issues).

View Modes

You can switch between the view modes by clicking on the respective tabs:

List View

The list view displays work logs by date/time descending.

This view mode displays 15 work logs per page and has a page navigation on top and bottom of the list:

Structured View

The structured view groups work logs by project and issue and shows the total time by issue and project (for the chosen search criteria).

XXX

In case of multiple projects, you get a list of projects first (for the chosen search criteria). Click on a project to see the issues (for the chosen search criteria):

XXX

If your project list just contains one project, it will automatically show all issues.

XXX

Clicking on an issue, you will see all work logs for this issue (within your search criteria, of course):

(Work Log) Actions

 

All available operations for the work log. For details, see below.

Options available depend on

  • your permissions in JIRA (edit own/all worklog permissions),
  • on the issue status in JIRA (no logging of work on closed issues),
  • and on the task status in ictime (no changes for work logs already approved or charged).

If a work log has been charged already, the $ sign will be displayed in the "actions" column.

Operations

Work log details - in both view modes - are the base for a couple of operations on JIRA issues and on work logs.

JIRA does not allow to log work or edit/delete work logs for issues in JIRA status "closed". ictime usually follows this logic, but in the Reporting section, for practical reasons, all operations on work logs are possible regardless of JIRA status. It is a very typical use case that an administrative user has to make corrections on work logs and that issues are already closed. It would not make sense that the issue has to be reopened just for this reason.

Operations on Issues

 

 

Edit Work Logs

You can edit work logs appearing in your report result list. Click on the respective icon.

You can only edit work logs if you have the respective permissions in JIRA ("Edit Own Worklogs" or " Edit All Worklogs") and if the work log has not been charged in ictime yet (status "non charged").

Delete Work Logs

You can delete work logs appearing in your report result list. Click on the respective icon.

The mask displayed is the default JIRA mask to delete work logs.

You can only delete work logs if you have the respective permissions in JIRA ("Delete Own Worklogs" or " Delete All Worklogs") and if the work log has not been charged in ictime yet (status "non charged").

Move Work Logs

You can move work logs appearing in your report result list to other issues of the same project. Click on the respective icon.

For details, refer to Move Work Logs.

You can only move work logs if you have the respective permissions in JIRA ("Edit Own Worklogs" or " Edit All Worklogs") and if the work log has not been charged in ictime yet (status "non charged").

Export Work Log Details

You can export the work log details via the respective buttons on top/bottom of the list as Excel-compatible file.

Apart from the work log details, your export will contain your accounting references, if applicable (see Project Accounting References).

 

Warnings (Repair Work Logs)

The "Warnings" tab shows broken work logs, i.e. work logs with inconsistencies between the JIRA work log and enhanced ictime data for a work log. This situation is always caused by moving an issue in JIRA to a different project. The "Warning" tab is not available if a project does not have inconsistent work logs.

For more details, please refer to Repair Work Logs (Moved Issues).

Financial Summary

Please refer to Reports: Financial Summary.

 

Accounting - Create Invoice

If you have selected "not charged" as work log status and have checked the checkbox "Prepare Charging Entries" (see above), the option to charge all work log entries of your report ("creating an invoice") will be available.

For further details, please refer to Accounting.
