Tempo Timesheet Integration for Jira Cloud

Tempo Timesheets Overview

Tempo Timesheets is an alternative time tracking solution for Jira. It’s really powerful and has a lot cool features. But sometimes it looks a bit too complex to start working with, so some users prefer to add Worklogs Report as a quick and simple way to report on spent time.

Tempo has a lot of extra data on top of logged hours, such as Accounts, Teams and other stuff. This data is securely stored outside your Jira instance, and no other 3rd party can access it without your permission. To provide Pivot Report access to the Tempo data, you need to grant the access via OAuth 2.0.

IMPORTANT! If you are using Jira Server and Tempo Timesheets, you are all set out of the box. It just works.

Tempo features that Pivot Report supports

Pivot Report can show following Tempo data in the reports:

• Accounts & Billable Hours. They are used to track time across multiple teams and multiple projects. By connecting accounts to specific projects and setting the account in the Issue view, worklogs can be assigned to accounts to provide data for reporting and bookkeeping.
• Work Attributes. Fields that you can add to worklogs to record detailed information about logged time. Examples of work attributes might be: “Overtime”, “Non-Billable”, or “Travel time”.
• Teams. Users who are grouped into teams can view each other’s roles, schedules, and worklogs.
