Overview of My Work

My Work is your home base in Tempo Timesheets. This is where you log and plan your time and get an overview of your timesheet progress or plans for what's coming up.

You can also integrate your Google and Office 365 calendars with My Work so that you can use the Activity Feed to easily track time against meetings or other events you have scheduled.

In My Work, you see the progress of tracked time against planned time for each day. At the end of the day, you can effortlessly log any remaining time planned for on your agenda. 

At the end of each reporting period, you can then submit your timesheet for review from My Work.

What is this?

What does it do?

A

My Work icon

Opens up My Work. You can also press G+T from anywhere in Tempo Timesheet or Jira to get here.

B

Calendar view

This is the default view when you open My Work. It lets you visualize each day of your week in an agenda. You can easily see what to work on and when, and where you have gaps and overlaps in your day. You can log and plan your time here.

C

List view

It shows your week of activities, plans, and worklogs as cards in a list format. You can group these cards by Type or by Start Time in the Settings menu (O). You can log and plan your time here.

See Setting Personal Date and Time Format for more information.

D

Timesheet

Gives you a report-like view with lots of detail on how much time you've logged to each Jira issue. There are lots of filtering and viewing options that make this view very valuable for getting information. And, of course, you can log your time here.

See Overview of the Timesheet for information.

E

Date Picker

Displays the current weekly period. You can use the arrows to set the weekly period that you want to view.

The current day is shaded when a week is shown in the calendar, so it's easy to find.

Click the < and > arrows to go to other time periods. Clicking Today (F) is a quick way to return to the current date.

See Setting Personal Date and Time Format for more information.

F

Today

Returns you quickly to the current date if you've navigated to another time period.

G

Worklogs

This is what it's all about! You create worklogs by logging your time.

Worklogs are identified with a little green checkmark icon and are greyed out.

H

Plans

Log time to your plan by clicking this card.

Plans are identified with a little blue double arrow icon.

If you only have Tempo Timesheets installed, you can plan time for yourself and see only your own plans in the Calendar. To plan time for others, you need to have Tempo Planner installed and have the Manage Team Plans permission.

See Planning your Time and Setting Personal Date and Time Format for more information.
