Simplifying Worklogs: Linking Internal Tasks to Accounts for Accurate Time Tracking

Dear Tempo Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am writing to propose an enhancement to our time logging process to make it as easy and quick as possible. We have selected the Account field as mandatory when logging time. Currently, I have created a single Jira project for Internal Tempo tasks and assigned it to six accounts. When logging time, after selecting an internal task, the appropriate account has to be selected. For internal tasks, they always have one account pair.

Proposal: Is it possible to create a rule that automatically enters the account when selecting an internal task in the Worklog window?

Current Setup:

  • I have set up the Account field as mandatory in the worklog.

  • When selecting an internal issue, the account must also be selected.

  • Internal tasks are part of different categories (Sales, Product Maintenance, Development, Absence, etc.). Choosing the wrong account by mistake will cause false reporting.

Benefits:

  • By setting up the account as a mandatory field (Account category -> account -> project), I have a comprehensive overview of company activities divided into categories and subcategories, regardless of the number of Jira projects or how Jira issues are used.

  • Automatically selected accounts for internal tasks will help avoid mistakes and reduce the time needed for time-logging.

  • This allows keeping all internal tasks in one Jira project without having a long list of accounts to choose from when entering the internal task into the worklog.

  • This will reduce the time needed for time booking.

  • I believe this improvement can help not only IPS but also increase accuracy and happiness of users by reducing the time needed for Worklog.

Extension:

  • Extend the functionality so that if the account is a mandatory field and only one account is assigned to the Jira project, it will be automatically entered by the worklog when the Jira issue is selected.

Thank you for considering this proposal. I look forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
