Time Report
This report shows the total amount of time spent working on issues in one or more projects. It displays the type of work done and the original estimation. Time spent can be grouped by the type of work done or by the users who performed the tasks.
When you configure the report, you're basically setting a series of progressive filters. These filters limit the report to include only issues that belong to a specific project, match a query, and contain work items from specific authors or with specific work types within a set time frame. What you end up with is a summary of the spent time that was added in work items in the issues that match the filters. The options that you use to group the data determine how the report calculates the total time spent on each line.
When the report is calculated, the following options are available:
Show or hide the Work Type column on the report.
- Toggle the presentation to show a list of work items per issue, per project, or per user (meaning work item author).
When the Group by option is set to Work type or any custom field, all three grouping options are available.
When the Group by option is set to Project, you can group the results per issue and per user.
When the Group by option is set to Work author or Work author and date, you can group the results per issue and per project.
Click the issue ID to open the time tracking tab for the selected issue.
