Native Time Tracking Feature - capture that via a report

Nicole Ritter

We are moving from JIRA Software Server to JIRA Software Cloud and need a way to auto create a report that captures the time spent across all projects/issues for a time frame. 

Currently, we go into the database to pull this information via SSRS. 

Moving to Cloud, 

1. Is there a way to connect to our instance and pull the time information similar to what we are doing with server?

2. Is there a way to auto produce a report from JIRA?

Hello @Nicole Ritter 

With Jira Cloud you cannot access the database directly. You could instead look at extracting the information using the REST API. Neither the UI nor the API support retrieving just worklogs based on filters applied to the worklogs themselves (i.e. work logged in a specific time frame).

Jira Cloud does not natively provide much in the way of reports for time tracking. I would advise you to consider a third party app for that. There are several available. One that I worked with previously that I thought was both simple and flexible is Worklogs - Time Tracking and Reports but there are several apps available. Here is a search of the Atlassian Marketplace to help you find some of them.
