How to enable Weekly Time sheet in Jira
7 answers
Hi @Devakumar
Welcome to the Atlassian Community 👋🏻
Jira Cloud does not natively provide a Timesheet feature or a reporting view for worklog records. We understand how important this requirement is, and we don’t want this limitation to block your reporting and time management needs.
🌱 If you are open to using third-party apps, WorklogPRO Cloud (WLPC) can be a solid alternative.
WorklogPRO Cloud is an advanced time tracking and timesheet solution built on top of Jira’s standard worklog structure. 👇
Timesheet & Time Tracking
- 📅 Weekly and monthly timesheets automatically generated from Jira worklogs
(Optional custom date ranges can be defined) - 👤 A personal timesheet view where each user can see only their own worklog data and customize it based on their needs
- ⏱️ Specific time periods can be defined, and time logging can be restricted to those ranges.
Admin & Manager Reporting
- 👥 In scenarios where users have different holiday calendars and working hour schemes, admins and managers can:
- Assign user-specific working hours and holiday schemes
- Generate user-based timesheet views calculated according to these schemes.
- View timesheets in a row-based, user-specific format
- 📈 Detailed visibility of logged time per user, per issue, and per project
- 🔐 Permission-based access ensuring full reporting capabilities for team leads and managers
- 📆 Weekly, monthly, and custom period reports
Reporting & Export
- 📊 Easy-to-access charts, graphs, and dashboards specifically designed for reports and timesheets
- 📤 Exportable reports (Excel / CSV)
- 💰 With Billable / Cost features; User- and project-based cost and billing reports.

Hi @Devakumar,
Welcome to the community!
Native Jira doesn't support weekly timesheets. If you’re looking for a solution that focuses on project health and time aggregation, you might want to check out TeamTime for Jira.
It helps admins see the "big picture" by summing up worklogs across the entire hierarchy (from Sub-tasks up to Epics/Projects) and comparing Estimates vs. Actual time in real-time. It’s an efficient, easy-to-configure tool for tracking project-level progress and resource health without the overhead of complex enterprise systems.

In Jira itself, there is no built-in weekly timesheet feature.
What you can do natively:
-
Enable Time tracking (⚙️ Jira settings → Issues → Time tracking)
-
Make sure users log work on issues (“Log work”)
-
As an admin, view time via:
-
Issue view (Work log tab)
-
Filters + columns like Time Spent
-
Reports such as Time Tracking Report (very limited and not really a weekly timesheet)
-
However, Jira does not provide:
-
A personal weekly timesheet view for users
-
A clean weekly/monthly timesheet report for admins
-
Easy visibility of who logged what, when, across multiple projects
If you need proper weekly timesheets, Planyway for Jira covers this gap really well.
With Planyway you get:
-
📅 Weekly timesheets automatically generated from Jira work logs
-
👤 Personal timesheet view for each user
-
👀 Admin / manager view to see:
-
Time logged per user, per issue, per project
-
Weekly, monthly, etc. reports
-
-
📊 Exportable reports (for billing, payroll, or analysis)
-
Bonus: capacity planning and scheduling in the same tool
How it works in short:
-
Install Planyway for Jira from Atlassian Marketplace
-
Users log time as usual in Jira (or directly in Planyway)
-
Open Planyway → Timesheets to see weekly reports
As suggested by everyone, a 3rd party app is needed for this requirement. If you are open to try out one for time tracking reports in Jira, pls take a look at
Worklogs Time Tracking in Jira & Timesheets
With this add-on, you can easily -
- Create time reports in real time by grouping & categorizing data with aggregation
- Prepare your reports based on Project/Sprint/Issue Type/Assignees and various other filters
- Group your data to build more meaningful reports
- CSV Export
- Dashboard gadget
- Enter Time Spent for multiple issues from Time sheet screen. With Calendar view and Board view
