Using Time Tracker

When everything is set, you can start tracking time for your tasks. The timetracker has a couple main tabs that you are going to use daily: TimeTracker, Dashboard, Workload, and Passwords.

Timetracker

In the Timetracker tab, you can find all the issues currently assigned to you. You can search for an issue start tracking the task from this list.

Other than that, the Timetracker tab gives you all the worklogs for the day or week (depending on the filtering).

When you are opening a worklog for the task – you see every separate time entry as well as a sum of all worklogs (total amount of time you have spent working on the issue).

Important! If you need to track time spent in the team meeting – you should search for an issue “Team meeting” in the respective project, and this issue will NOT be assigned to you.

To search such issue, you should look for an issue with a pink icon (issue type – Internal) – there is a separate issue for communication tasks on the project, where everyone on the projects tracks time in the same issue.

Dashboard

Dashboard is the tab, where you can see your tasks for the day.

On the top of the tab, you have a diagram that reflects your daily schedule – what tasks were you working on and when, or when you took a break. This is also useful to take a look on it at the end of the day, and make sure you tracked all the working time (and check if you haven’t missed to add anything). From this bar you can also manually log time into any empty spot.

Below the diagram you can see either Workload or Worklogs.

Workload reflects projects assigned to you, planned time for them, and fact workload. Here you can also check the completion progress and see if any tasks were underestimated.

By clicking on a project, you will unfold the list of issues you should work on and click on the play button on the right side to start tracking:

To stop or pause tracking time, you should click the needed button in the list, on top of the Dasboard tab or in the extension.

Extension is a duplicate of the Dashboard tab.

Summary

image-20241029-114428.png

Summary tab indicates everyones worklogs and helps you see what your teammates are busy with at the moment. In this view, we can either see everyone, or filter for specific people.

Also, every project has a specific color assigned, so it is easy to differentiate projects from one another.

And, underneath a user’s name we see the project and task, that is being tracked at the moment.

Workload

image-20240827-155042.png

Workload is the tab, where you can see projects that are planned for you for the current week. You cannot edit your planned capacity on your own, as the workload is planned by the project management team every Monday. This tab is for informational purposes only.

  • On the left side, you see all the projects planned.

  • In the middle you see planned workload for every day, where numbers in the squares is planned time, and time in the ovals is fact work log.

  • On the right side you see summary for planned and worked time during the week, as well as your working capacity.

Your planned hours are also visible from the Dashboard tab, as well as in the extension.

Passwords

image-20241029-113854.png

In this tab you can find all the passwords shared with you.

This tab is in a table view, where:

  • Name – is the title for the saved password;

  • Status – indicates whether your credentials are valid (should be green, if red – you won’t be able to login);

  • Password – contains the password, which you can view (синяя звезда) or copy :note:;

  • Username – contains the username, which you can copy :note:;

  • Shared with – indicates who on the team has access to the password;

  • Type – indicates the type of the password,

  • Website – contains the link to website that you have access to;

  • Folder – indicates to which folder the password belongs.

You can also edit the view of the page, by clicking on Edit Columns and adjusting the table to your comfort and liking.

Using Saved Passwords

  1. To use saved passwords, open the Passwords tab and use the search function to quickly find the needed password. Also, you can use the filtering to make it even quicker (wink)

  2. Click on the Copy button to copy the password or automatically fill it into a login form on the website with browser extension.
