Creating Worklogs

In addition to using timers, Clockwork allows users to create worklogs manually.

Creating Worklogs from an Issue

As an alternative to using timers, users can create worklogs manually by clicking the + button on the Clockwork UI.

A dialog will open prompting the user to enter the time worked and optional details (description, tags, etc.).

Creating Worklogs from the Calendar

In Clockwork Pro, users can also create worklogs by clicking on the appropriate day/time slots in the Calendar View:

1. Navigate to Apps > Clockwork > My Work and select the Calendar tab.

2. Click and drag on the appropriate date/time slot.

3. Enter the appropriate Jira issue, or select the issue from those shown in the dropdown.

4. Enter additional details (description, tags, etc.) in the dialog.

Note that if a worklog is created for the incorrect date/time, it can be dragged to the correct time slot.

Google Calendar Integration

You can integrate Google Calendar with Clockwork to scheduled events in on the calendar view of your timesheet.

1. To create a worklog, navigate to Apps > Clockwork > My Work and select the Calendar tab.

2. Click on the Google calendar icon in the upper right corner to show calendar events in Clockwork.

3. The icon will be colored when events are shown, and grayscale when events are hidden.

   1. If your Google calendar is not already connected to Clockwork, you will see a pop-up from Google stating that clockwork.report want to access your Google calendar. Click the checkbox for View events on all your calendars.
      

      

   2. Click Continue.

4. Click on the appropriate event in the Clockwork calendar.

5. Select the Jira issues from the dropdown, or type in the issue key.

6. The worklog dialogue will open with the date and time fields pre-populated from the calendar event. Complete any other required fields.

7. Click Save.

Time Formats

Clockwork accepts the following time formats:

• 1:15 for one hour and 15 minutes

• 1h 15m for one hour and 15 minutes

• 1.25 for one hour and 15 minutes

• 1h for one hour

• 1.0 for one hour

• 15m for 15 minutes

• 15 for 15 minutes

• 0.25 for 15 minutes

Time Remaining

When you manually create a worklog, you have the option to add Remaining Time. This allows you to show an estimate of how much time will be needed to resolve the issue. Whenever work is logged on the issue, the remaining time will be recalculated.

The Remaining Time estimate can be manually changed when creating new worklogs, or by editing an existing worklog.
