JIRA Worklog Reporter Extension

JIRA Worklog Reporter is a productivity and compliance companion for teams that live in JIRA. It turns raw worklogs into actionable insight, helps enforce your organization’s time‑logging rules, and gives instant feedback while users create entries—without exporting data or relying on external services. Why Install It See exactly how time is spent across people and projects. Catch overtime patterns (weekday vs. weekend) before they become problems. Enforce custom tracking periods (monthly or fully tailored date ranges). Validate worklog date/time while the dialog is open—reduce mistakes. Instantly flag undefinable or misclassified issues. Empower managers with clear summaries; empower contributors with transparency. What It Does Popup Snapshot Open the extension icon on any JIRA page to see current period totals, target hours (auto‑calculated from workdays and capacity), violation counts, and a clean breakdown of regular vs. overtime logging. Full Report Dashboard A rich, full‑page view with two analytical perspectives: Authors: drill into each teammate’s hour patterns, violations, and overtime classification. Projects: compare project workloads, contributing authors, and undefinable issues. Includes drag‑and‑drop selection management, progress indicators, and persistent filters. Real-Time Worklog Validation When a JIRA “Log Work” dialog appears, the extension: Validates the entered date/time against the active tracking period (start inclusive, end exclusive). Warns if the entry is before or after allowed boundaries. Classifies the issue and annotates the dialog title (green = matched, red = undefinable). Disables submission for invalid date ranges to prevent accidental mislogging. Policy & Rule Engine Define custom organizational rules with flexible expressions: Project and multi-project matching. Author filtering. Custom field matching (values or EMPTY). Logical AND/OR with parentheses. The engine compiles rules into fast predicates and highlights violations. Custom Tracking Periods Configure precise periods (start/end timestamps + workday counts) or fall back to intelligent monthly ranges. Target hours adjust automatically based on working capacity (%). Overtime Classification Automatic grouping of worklogs: Regular business hours Weekday overtime Weekend overtime Undefinable issues Optional project-level overtime enablement and thresholds. Persistent & Private Stores settings locally (JIRA URL, API token, configuration JSON). No external server processing. All analysis happens in your browser. Key Features at a Glance Fast Vue 3 + Vite UI Dark/light theme toggle Live JSON configuration validation Remote config fetch (optional centralized policy) Violation drilldowns (type, timestamp, issue) Project aggregation cards (top contributors) Author & project multi-select with reorderable chips Progress bar during data collection Undefinable issue highlighting Manual refresh + automatic updates on navigation Secure token handling (local only) Ideal For Delivery managers reviewing monthly effort Team leads monitoring overtime saturation Finance/compliance teams validating cutoffs Engineers wanting transparency into logged workload Organizations with nuanced tracking periods or custom fields Privacy & Security No data leaves your browser.
