Time per Custom Work Item Field (InternalProject in this example)

This widget displays a pie chart of the time spent on any given project based on a custom field set by the user at the Work Item level. Each slice represents a value in such a field. For example, a user may want to add a new field to store project names, departments, or categories.

{"type":"Pie","valueField":"PeriodLength","categoryField":"WorkItem.CustomStringField1","id":"","query":"$apply=groupby((WorkItem/CustomStringField1),aggregate(PeriodLength with sum as PeriodLength))&$orderby=WorkItem/CustomStringField1&customFields=Custom.InternalProject","odataVersion":"v3.2","endpoint":"worklogsWorkItems","title":"My Internal Projects","subTitle":null,"w":4,"h":3,"valueFormat":"duration","chartSettings":{"showLegend":true,"name":"","innerRadius":30,"disableTicks":true},"autoSubtitle":false,"timeframeFilter":null,"":"","y":20,"x":0}

Tracked Time per Person in a Bar Chart

This widget shows the total amount of time tracked by each person in an organization. The time range can be set using the filters on the Dashboard UI. It is possible to exclude the time logged against a specific Activity Type from the calculation, which is achieved by setting the parameter {$filter=(ActivityType/Name ne 'placeholder')} to the desired value. In this example, the time logged against ‘Testing’ is not displayed on the chart ($filter=(ActivityType/Name ne 'Testing')). Just remove the whole filter to display the total time tracked across all Activity Types. 

{"type":"Columns","title":"All activities except Testing by person","subTitle":"","id":"","query":"$apply=groupby((ActivityType/Name,User/Name),aggregate(PeriodLength with sum as PeriodLength))&$filter=(ActivityType/Name ne 'Testing')","odataVersion":"v3.2","endpoint":"workLogsWorkItems","w":8,"h":3,"chartSettings":{"showLegend":true,"name":""},"xAxis":{"type":"category","title":"Person","rotation":90,"granularity":"hour"},"yAxis":{"type":"duration","title":"Tracked, hours"},"series":{"fieldY":"PeriodLength","fieldX":"User.Name"},"dataAdapters":[{"name":"FillMissingDatePoints","params":"PeriodLength"}],"autoSubtitle":false,"timeframeFilter":null,"y":36,"x":0}

Shortfalls per Person per Period

This table shows the difference (shortfall) between the total amount of hours a person is expected to log within a given date-range, minus the amount of hours they actually logged.

For example, if during a given week, a person logs time each day from Monday to Friday, the value of ‘Days Tracked’ for that week will be 5. If they only track 30 hours in total, their shortfall will be 10 hours (5 days tracked * 8 hours a day - 30 hours logged) . If the shortfall value is negative, this means that the amount of time tracked exceeds the expected total (that person has logged more hours than they were expected). Note that in the example, the assumption is that a person is expected to log 8 hours a day, which amounts to 28800 seconds. This can be changed by changing "format":{"expression":"({0}*28800 - {1}) to the desired value. The time-range can be set using the UI on the Dashboard.

{"type":"FlatTable","id":"","query":"$apply=groupby((User/Name),aggregate(PeriodLength with sum as PeriodLength, WorklogDate/ShortDate with countdistinct as DaysTracked))","endpoint":"worklogsOnly","title":"Shortfalls","subTitle":null,"w":4,"h":3,"columns":[{"field":"User.Name","title":"Person","width":-100},{"field":"DaysTracked","title":"Days Tracked","formatter":"","width":120},{"field":"PeriodLength","title":"Tracked","formatter":"MathExpression","format":{"expression":"{0}/ 3600","resultFormat":"#.##"},"width":120},{"field":["DaysTracked","PeriodLength"],"title":"Shortfall","formatter":"MathExpression","format":{"expression":"({0}*28800 - {1}) / 3600","resultFormat":"#.##"},"width":120}],"autoSubtitle":false,"timeframeFilter":null,"y":16,"x":0,"odataVersion":"v3.2"}

Individual Shortfalls per Day

This table is similar to the one above; however, it shows the daily shortfall values for each individual person/day over a certain period, which can be defined via the Dashboard.

{"type":"FlatTable","id":"","query":"$apply=groupby((User/Name, WorklogDate/ShortDate),aggregate(PeriodLength with sum as PeriodLength))","endpoint":"worklogsOnly","title":"Shortfalls By Days","subTitle":null,"w":4,"h":3,"columns":[{"field":"User.Name","title":"Person","width":-100},{"field":"WorklogDate.ShortDate","title":"Date","formatter":"CustomDateTime","format":"DD.MM.YYYY","width":-100},{"field":"PeriodLength","title":"Tracked","formatter":"MathExpression","format":{"expression":"{0}/ 3600","resultFormat":"#.##"},"width":120},{"field":"PeriodLength","title":"Shortfall","formatter":"MathExpression","format":{"expression":"(28800 - {0}) / 3600","resultFormat":"#.##"},"width":120}],"autoSubtitle":false,"timeframeFilter":null,"y":19,"x":0,"odataVersion":"v3.2"}

Time Logged per Activity by Each Team Member

This table shows the total time logged per Activity by each team member for a given time period which can be set using the Dashboard UI.

{"id":"","query":"$apply=groupby((User/Name,ActivityType/Name),aggregate(PeriodLength with sum as PeriodLength))&$orderby=User/Name,PeriodLength desc","endpoint":"worklogsOnly","type":"FlatTable","title":"Team Activity Type Time","subTitle":"","w":4,"h":3,"columns":[{"field":"User.Name","title":"Person","width":-100},{"field":"ActivityType.Name","title":"Activity Type","width":-100},{"field":"PeriodLength","title":"Tracked","width":100,"formatter":"TimeLength"}],"autoSubtitle":false,"timeframeFilter":null,"y":44,"x":0,"odataVersion":"v3.2"}

Total Time Tracked per Iteration

This table shows the total time tracked against each Iteration, and compares it with the associated ‘Original Estimate’ and ‘Effort’ values as defined in DevOps. If such values are not displayed, this means that they were not set previously.

{"id":"","query":"$apply=groupby((System_IterationPath),aggregate(TrackedItself with sum as PeriodLength, Microsoft_VSTS_Scheduling_Effort with sum as Effort, Microsoft_VSTS_Scheduling_OriginalEstimate with sum as OriginalEstimate))&$orderby=System_IterationPath","endpoint":"workItems","type":"FlatTable","title":"By Iteration","subTitle":"","w":4,"h":3,"columns":[{"field":"System_IterationPath","title":"Iteration","width":-100},{"field":"PeriodLength","title":"Tracked","width":100,"formatter":"TimeLength"},{"field":"OriginalEstimate","title":"Original Estimate","width":100,"formatter":""},{"field":"Effort","title":"Effort","width":100,"formatter":""}],"autoSubtitle":false,"timeframeFilter":null,"y":22,"x":0,"odataVersion":"v3.2"}
