The Active Timers feature is a time-tracking tool that simplifies the process of logging work hours. It allows users to associate their tracked time with specific issues by starting a timer when work begins and stopping it upon completion.
Designed with flexibility in mind, this feature enables users to start timers at different levels of our app, accommodating various workflows and preferences based on what suits the user best at any given moment.
Active timers can be activated at 3 different levels:
Issue level - Activate a timer directly within any Jira issue.
Time Assistant’s dashboard gadgets - Activate a timer whenever you pick up a task from a gadget.
Favorite issues list - Activate a timer for frequently recurring tasks from your favorites.
All activated and unlogged timers can be found on your unlogged timers list. It gives you an overview of the tasks you spent time on, and lets you double-check if the tracked time requires any adjustments.
If the user doesn’t have time tracking permissions assigned to the issue/project, logging time through active timers won’t be possible. The user will be informed that the feature is disabled with a correct infotip displayed next to the timer’s buttons.
