Logging Time in My Work

You can:

  • Click the checkmark icon on activity cards (or click the card itself) from your tracked Jira and VS Code activities, or calendar events from your Google or Office 365 Calendar - see Logging Time to Your Activities

  • Click the Log Activities button at the top of a day to log time to all the valid activity cards at once with a single click - see Logging Time to Your Activities

  • Drag a time slot on a day in the Calendar view - see below.

  • Drag and drop issues from the Issues side panel to a day in the List or Calendar view - see below.

  • Click the checkmark icon on plan cards (or click the card itself) to log time to plans you have created.

Drag Issues from the Side Panel

The Issues side panel on the right side of My Work contains issues organized by type (from predefined JQL searches). You can customize the Issues side panel to show the issues most relevant to you - see Customizing what's in the issue picker.

By default, the Issues side panel is collapsed, but Tempo remembers the last state and will display it as it was stored with your preferences. See Finding Issues with the Issue Picker for more information.
