We have Better Excel Automations, can I use this to get a detailed excel sheet that logs work time?

[Jonathan Chatfield]

We are on the Data Center version, we have native time tracking and I am wanting to get a time spent per user for each time logged on a issue. Could I get a report that can build this with native time logging and with the Better Excel Automations?

[Aron Gombas _Midori_]

@Jonathan Chatfield Yes, you can get that report!

The Better Excel Automation app delegates the generation of the Excel file to Better Excel Exporter, which is extremely customizable with Excel templates and scripts. That's why you can build possibly any report (sample reports ) and generate that automatically!

Hello @Aron Gombas _Midori_,

Do I need to have Better Excel Exporter to have this capability? We just have Better Excel Automations? Also can you walk me through an automation path that would setup this correctly?

Do I need to have Better Excel Exporter to have this capability?

Yes. The exporter app is responsible for producing the XLSX file, while the automation app is responsible for emailing the XLSX file.

For more information about the responsibilities and for installation instructions, see this: https://midori-global.com/products/better-excel-automation-for-jira/data-center/installation

Also can you walk me through an automation path that would setup this correctly?

Sure.
