Configuring Timesheet Reports and Gadgets

Jira administrators can configure Timesheet Reports & Gadgets so that your managers and team members are set up with the proper permissions or restrictions for the best possible experience. Configuration Settings are accessed from Administration > Manage Apps > Time Tracking.

Timesheet Configuration Settings

• Timesheet Auditors Groups: Select the groups allowed to see time spent by other users.

If no groups are selected, all users have access to worklogs.

• Timesheet Restricted Groups: Select the groups allowed to see time spent by other users with the the same group membership.

• Timesheet Auditors Roles: Select the roles allowed to see time spent by other users.

Auditors Groups allow only users of the selected groups to see time spent by other users. Users of other groups can not see other user's timesheets, only their own. Note that Auditors Groups, Auditors Roles, and Restricted Groups do not depend on each other, and therefore can be combined to achieve sophisticated multi-level permissions. For example, a user in an Auditors Group, Auditors Role, and a Restricted Group can see another user's timesheet only if they are part of the same group.

To add or remove a holiday:

1. Click the day that you want to add a holiday to.

2. Optional: Enable Fixed if you want this same date to appear each year as a holiday.

   

3. Add a name for the holiday, and then click Save. The holiday is highlighted in red in the calendar.

4. To remove a holiday, click the highlighted day in the calendar, and select Remove.

You can also import holidays by URL or as an uploaded .ics file. These could be a list of your corporate holidays, or an online list of country holidays (for example, from Calendar Labs).
