ActivityTimeline Workspace
Log Time in Jira and See Your Planned Work in One Place
ActivityTimeline Workspace gives each person one page for their Jira issues, their schedule and their time, so hours get logged the day the work happens.
30-day free trial on the Atlassian Marketplace.
Sample Workspace of one team member: her assigned Jira issues, a ring and one bar per day for the hours she has logged against her 40-hour week, and My Schedule with her planned issues and worklogs.
Maya Ortiz's Workspace on Wednesday 11 November: her Jira issues, a ring and one bar per day for the hours she has logged, and My Schedule.
What Workspace Is
ActivityTimeline is a resource planning, capacity management and time tracking app for Jira. Workspace is each person's page: their Jira issues, their planned week and the hours they have logged, in one place.
What do I work on today?
How do I log time fast?
Which hours are missing?
Know what to work on
Your assigned Jira issues by status, with what is left on each, next to the week planned for you.
Log time in seconds
Seven ways to log, from a timer to one click on a short day. No issue-by-issue hunting.
Spot the gap before Friday
A ring and one bar per day show which required hours are still missing.
The whole week, in one place
Time off, meetings and work outside Jira sit on the same timeline as your issues.
What Do You Need From Your Week?
Pick a question. Each one has a place in Workspace, shown here on the same sample team.
Five questions about a working week, each with the part of Workspace that answers it: what to work on today (the issue panel), how to log time without opening every issue (the Log Work dialog), which days are missing hours (Daily Logged Hours), where time off and meetings go (My Schedule) and whether a manager can check or fix a week (the User Selector).
Logging time
"Logging time in Jira means opening issue after issue."
Log Time Where the Work Is
ActivityTimeline Workspace puts Log Work wherever a person already is: the toolbar, a timer, the chart, an issue card, the table, the timeline or the Jira issue itself. Every worklog is written to the Jira issue once and shows up everywhere.

Follow the worklog
All the way to the Jira issue
A compact sample Workspace with a Log Work dialog. Pick one of seven ways to log, submit two hours, then follow the worklog to the Jira issue.
A timer that becomes a worklog
Start it in the toolbar, stop it, and the time lands on the issue you pick.
Several days at once
Multiple days logs the same hours on each day you choose.
Billable or not, at the source
A Worklog Category on every worklog, picked while logging.
Client and cost center
Worklog Attributes carry the business details finance asks for.
Log another
Keep the dialog open and log the next one straight away.
Logged once, seen everywhere
The Jira issue, Timesheets, Reports and Finances read the same worklog.
Your week
"My team doesn't know what is planned for them this week."
This Week's Work in One View
Each person sees the Jira issues assigned to them next to the week their manager planned in Planner, so they know what comes next without opening a board.
The issue panel
Assigned Jira issues by status, with search, filters, grouping and what is left on each.
My Schedule
Jira issues, events and worklogs for a week, two weeks or a month.
Plan your own day
Drag an issue onto the timeline, or open its card and choose Schedule.
Sample issue panel and My Schedule for one week, with each Jira issue spanning the days it is planned for and the hours left on it.
Maya's issue panel and My Schedule for the week of 9 November, with worklogs switched off in Display Options. Each issue spans the days it is planned for, with what is left on it.
Sample worklogs for three days: the worklog menu, a worklog repeated to the next day by dragging its edge, My Logged Hours by issue and day, and My Worklog Details.
Maya's worklogs for 9–11 November: one repeated to Wednesday, then My Logged Hours and My Worklog Details.
Missing hours
"Every Friday I chase people for missing hours."
See What Is Missing and Fix It in Seconds
A short Monday shows up on Tuesday, not at the end of the month. A worklog on the wrong day is moved, repeated, edited or deleted right on the timeline.
Spot the gap
The progress ring shows the share of required hours logged; the bar for each day shows which one is short.
Move or repeat a worklog
Drag a worklog to another day to move it. Drag its right edge to repeat it.
Correct the details
My Worklog Details lists every worklog to edit or delete, and exports to Excel.
Good to know: once a worklog is approved in Timesheets, it is locked.

A live tour of the personal page, the seven ways to log time and what managers see on their team's weeks.
Time off and meetings
"Meetings, training and time off never get recorded."
Time Off, Meetings and Everything Outside Jira
Time off and work that is not in Jira sit on the same My Schedule timeline as Jira issues. A day off lowers the person's available capacity at once, so the plan sees it the same day.
Day Off, Vacation, Sick Leave
For a full or partial day. A vacation waits for a manager's approval.
Work outside Jira
Meetings, training and release days as events on the same timeline.
Calendar meetings
Meetings from a connected Outlook or Google calendar appear on the timeline.
Sample My Schedule week with two Jira issues, a release-day booking and the Create New Item dialog. Create a day off and watch the person's available capacity drop.
Tom Hughes's week of 23 November: two Jira issues for the app release, a booking for release day, and the Create New Item dialog. Reports shows the same week at 150%.
Sample User Selector with one team, and the warning shown when a manager logs time on someone else's behalf.
The User Selector with the Product team, and the warning shown when a manager logs time for Priya Nair.
What Managers Get
Workspace is each person's page, and also the quickest way for a manager to check or correct one person's week.
Open anyone's week
The User Selector opens the Workspace of the people on your teams.
Log on someone's behalf
When someone is away or forgot, log the time for them. A warning names the person.
Export to Excel
The worklog details for the week, two weeks or month on screen, in one click.
One set of numbers
What a person logs here is what you review in Timesheets, analyse in Reports and cost in Finances.
Where Workspace Fits
ActivityTimeline has five modules that share one plan and one set of worklogs. Workspace is where the plan meets the person and the hours get logged. Approving time and putting a price on it happen in Timesheets and Finances.
