Logging time with LogSense
When LogSense is active as the time tracking provider, time is logged from the issue Log work action.
Open the logging form
From Log work action
- Open an issue in Jira.
- In the actions menu (⋯) or action bar, select Log work.
Form fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | Calendar date picker (DatePicker), respecting user locale. |
| Time spent | Manual duration or shortcuts. |
| Billable | Billable / non-billable classification. |
| Work type | Effort category (space catalog). |
| Notes | Optional entry comment. |
Time shortcuts
Use shortcut buttons to speed up logging:
- 15m — fifteen minutes
- 30m — half hour
- 1h — one hour
- 2h — two hours
- 4h — four hours
Shortcuts fill the duration field; you can adjust manually afterward.
Progress bars
The form shows two visual indicators:
Issue estimate
Bar relating time already logged on the issue to its original estimate (if any).
Daily limit
Bar showing how much of the space's daily limit the user has consumed on the selected date. LogSense calculates the total via the getDailySummary resolver, aggregating the current user's worklogs for the day in the space.
If Jira cannot verify the daily limit (API error or permissions), LogSense allows logging to avoid blocking users due to transient failures.
Daily limit validation
On save, LogSense checks that the new entry does not exceed the daily limit configured in Space settings → LogSense Settings → General. If it does, the form shows an error and does not save until duration or date is corrected.
Holiday validation
If the space has holiday blocking active and the selected date is a holiday, the entry is rejected. Check with the space administrator in Space settings → LogSense Settings → Holidays.
Save the entry
- Complete required fields.
- Review progress bars if applicable.
- Confirm with Save / Log work.
Metadata (billable, work type) is stored in Forge KVS associated with the Jira worklog.
