Data available and exportable in Excel from Jira Service Management

Question

Hi,

Is it possible to log the hours spent and add a short description directly in the Jira Service Management ticket for the requested intervention?

Also, is there an option to export a report in Excel that includes this information?

Thanks in advance

Hi @Guido Tani 👋

In Jira you can log hours and add a short description directly when creating a worklog — that’s part of the native functionality. What Jira doesn’t provide natively is an easy way to report and export those entries with all details included.

That’s where JetTime can help:

Log time with notes in a simple, streamlined way.

Build detailed worklog reports by project, user, or date range.

Export reports to Excel/CSV including descriptions.

Track custom metrics and cost centers alongside hours.

Privacy-first — JetTime runs on Atlassian, so all data stays inside your Jira Cloud.

Hey @Guido Tani ,

In addition, if you’d like to make the logged hours (with descriptions) visible to your customers, our team offers an app called Worklog Report for Jira Service Management. It shows this information directly in the customer portal, so clients get real-time visibility without extra effort from the agents to export the logs, send them, etc.

Cheers,

Elitsa

That article mentions Better Excel Exporter, but doesn't offer a link, so here it is:
