Working with a Time Tracking Report Widget
When you add a Time Tracking Report widget to your dashboard, a Time Report or a Timesheet Report is displayed.
A Time 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 a number of values including work type, work author, parent issue, and issue type.
A Timesheet Report shows how users allocated spent time for a collection of issues in a calendar-based spreadsheet. You can show totals per user or per issue on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
