How to see plugin in action after install?

It is necessary to add timesheet gadget to your dashboard at Jira Administration - System Dashboard. See also video for more details on YouTube. Also reports are available in Projects menu, for selected project, see Timesheet Report and Project Pivot Report in the most bottom.

Note, you may need to enable Time Tracking also at Jira Administration - Time Tracking.

How to make gadgets and reports show larger time period than 2 months?

Since version 2.4 there is Maximum Period Limit Plugin Configuration property.

Before version 2.4 you need to add the following property to jira-home/jira-config.properties and restart Jira, e.g. for year:

jira.timesheet.plugin.maxDays = 360

Please see issue #169 for reference, and also Advanced Jira Configuration.

Problem? Timesheet always shows the current week

For some reason the timesheet always shows the current week, regardless what has been selected in report configuration page. Report displays current week start and end dates.

This might be because of misconfigured UI and backend date format, please check Customising the Look and Feel and make sure your settings are correct.

Problem? Group Timesheet does not show data

This might be because does not have required permission. Timesheet by user group checks for Browse Users permission, for security reasons, see issue #125 for more details.

Please see Global Permissions for information about Browse Users permission

Also since version 2.3.15, there may be no data displayed, even if permissions are there, but project specified in report or gadget configuration. In this case it's necessary to update your project roles to include relevant groups. If project and group are specified, plugin displays worked hours for project members only. And membership is determined by all project roles beside Users. Adding needed groups to Developers role should be sufficient, but you may want to elaborate project roles. Then you may use project roles without groups to get project timesheet.

Problem? Timesheet does not show anything

There might be unexpected issues within worked time collecting algorithms, which may be easier to solve with debug logging enabled for plugin. You may edit <JIRA_HOME>/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties or use temporary logging as described here. Add the following categories, just omit log4.logger. prefix, if you use temporary logging, or restart Jira if you edit log4.properties; perform relevant scenario, retrieve logs and send them with your email request for help or attach to bug you create:

log4j.logger.com.fdu.jira.plugin = DEBUG, console, filelog
log4j.additivity.com.fdu.jira.plugin = false

log4j.logger.jira.plugin = DEBUG, console, filelog
log4j.additivity.jira.plugin = false

log4j.logger.jira.timesheet.plugin = DEBUG, console, filelog
log4j.additivity.jira.timesheet.plugin = false

We are getting excessive warnings in the log, how is it possible to prevent this to spam our Log?

It was caused by implementation specifics in previous versions, and did not influence plugin functionality, however is fixed since 2.3.13.

Prior 2.3.13, please see issue #37 for the information on how to suppress warnings in log
