Jira Cloud

With the integration, you can transfer time registrations from Jira to TimeLog.

How to set it up:

First, you need to make sure you have an active license in both Jira and TimeLog. All employees who want this integration must have an active license.

When setting up the integration, complete the following steps:

  1. The first step is to add the TimeLog app via Jira Marketplace. To do this, access the settings icon (cogwheel) in the top right side in Jira and click on Marketplace apps.

  2. Wait a brief moment until the site Marketplace apps loads. You will see a message saying "App management has moved to Administration". It is important that you do not click on "Take me there".
  3. A left side panel will appear after brief loading and under Apps you will find "TimeLog Settings". 
  4. Opening the TimeLog Settings, insert the server and account name. You can find the server name under System Administration> Integrations and API > Transactional API settings under "Your Timelog API URL".
  5. Copy the server name and write your account name, and click Submit to complete the setup.

 

  1. Once the TimeLog app has been added to Jira, navigate over to your Kanban board and click on a work log. Tap the three dots in the top right corner of the card and then click "time tracking".

  2. Here you will be redirected to insert a token so the integration may be migrated. If you do not have a token, click the text below the field to get it.

  3. The next step is to get the token from TimeLog from TimeLog's personal token creator. Here you insert the desired period for which the token should be active and select the name of the token. Read this article to learn how to create new token.

  4. Copy the token ID and paste it into Jira Cloud to activate the integration.

  5. Configuration of user-defined comment field.
    Activate user-defined comment field in TimeLog System administration -> Time and expense registrations -> Time tracking setup and add a name in the text field. When Jira is transferring the time tracking, the Issue ID is showing in the text field.

     

Now, the integration is all setup and you are ready to register time.

 

What we transfer:

The integration between TimeLog and Jira only transfers your time registrations between each other.

Good to know:

  • On submission of the registration in Jira, it is transferred to TimeLog as a time registration and recorded in Jira as a work log. Later edits do not sync automatically: if you change the registration in Jira, you must update it manually in TimeLog too, and vice versa. 
  • The name of the Issue ID will be collected and inserted in TimeLog as the project name.
  • The only thing you can do with the integration in TimeLog is to manage licenses in Jira.
  • You can only track time in Jira, so expenses, mileage, etc must be tracked and registered in TimeLog.
  • When you submit a time registration, it transfers to TimeLog as a time registration and is logged in Jira as a work log.
