Logging Your Time in a Jira Issue
When you're working in Jira all day, it's easy to log your time right in the issue on which you're working.
To edit to your worklogs, see Editing Your Worklogs in a Jira Issue.
You can press the w key from anywhere within Jira to open the Log Time form and start logging your time. In some browsers, pressing w also toggles the Watch Issue option for the Jira issue.
To go to My Work from anywhere in Jira, press the g+t keys or click Go to My Work in the Log Time Form.
If you delete a Jira issue, the associated worklogs are also removed.
Before You Begin
Logging time for yourself requires the Work On Issues permission for the project to which the issue belongs.
Logging time for other team members requires the Log Work for Others permission.
To view all work logged against an issue, you need the View All Worklogs Jira project permission.
