Looking for a better way to add time

Hi @Karol Peake 👋🏻

First of all, welcome to the community. ✨

To answer your question, there are several Atlassian Marketplace tools that provide much faster, "one-click" time logging directly in the sidebar or issue view. Few named tools:

• Simple Worklog Timer for Jira (Best for "One-Click" +15m/1h)
• Time Assistant - Time Tracking (Best for Dashboard/Command Center)
• Clockify - Time Tracking & Timesheet
• WorklogPro - Best for Fast Grid-Based Logging

Like @Nick _CodeCove_ had mentioned and provided you an example of the tool he uses.

Hope this answers your question. 🙂

Thanks,

• You can log directly from the Tempo panel on the Jira work item, which has a Log Time button. If you don’t see the panel, click the Apps menu at the top of the work item and select Tempo.
  
  • It’s also worth checking with your admin whether the Tempo panel can be shown by default on your instance (via Tempo Settings > Logging Time > Show Tempo in the Jira Work Item View) so it’s there without having to open it each time.
• There’s also a Tempo panel available in the right-hand sidebar.
  
  

Hi @Karol Peake ! Thanks for the question — and honestly, you're right, the log-work flow in Jira is tedious. Three dots, menu, dialog, submit… for a 5-minute task, that's a lot of clicking.

Natively, Jira doesn't have quick +5m / +15m buttons. I'm from the ActivityTimeline team, and to be upfront, we don't have one-click increment buttons either. It only starts with 15m and goes to 8h. But we did rework the flow itself, because most people don't log one ticket — they log a day or a week:

• You log work straight from your workspace by clicking the task — no menus.
• The hours field is pre-filled based on your capacity, so often you just hit confirm.
• Frequent tickets can be marked as favorites, so repeated logging takes seconds.
• And there's a timesheet grid where you fill in the whole week across all your tickets in one view.

So instead of making each log slightly faster, the idea is to log everything in one place, once. Hope this helps!

We did implement Tempo Timesheets and it's not exactly what I wanted but it's helpful.  It is great that I don't have to do a separate timesheet outside of Jira now, I just add the time to each ticket and it auto adds to my timesheet and then at the end of the day I can backfill admin time spent doing non-ticket work. 

Hi @Karol Peake 

As suggested by everyone a mktplace app can help here. If you are open to try out one  pls take a look at 

Worklogs Time Tracking in Jira & Timesheets

With this add-on, you can easily -

• Enter Time Spent for multiple issues from Time sheet screen. With Calendar view and Board view
• 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
• Add and use custom fields to worklogs (like billable status, work type, cost center, etc.)

Hi,

Double/triple click to add time sounds handy but one misclick logs 5 min you didn't mean to.

We have a free plugin (Timesheets for Jira) with one-click presets (30m, 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h) on the issue. Not the 1m sidebar you asked for, but takes the log-time flow from 5 clicks to 3.
