Log Your Time
Time Reports for Jira Cloud allow you to view tracked time in different ways with multiple reports. There are also several convenient ways to log your time in the reports and directly in Jira issues.
Select + Log Time to open the Log Work Done window.
Use the Issue Key dropdown to find the issue to log work against.
Fill in the Time Spent and any other needed fields.
Select Log Time to save the worklog.
If you want to quickly open the Log Work Done window in the future, you can hover over the heading and select the Copy Link icon.
If you re-enter an existing worklog, the window becomes Edit Work Log. Any existing logged work is filled in and ready for you to edit.
You cannot change the Issue Key in the Edit Work Log window.
