Non-Project tasks are tasks which are not related to the project being tracked in Jira, but still need to be tracked in the timesheet for the users.
For example: Time Off hours, Holidays, PTO, Non-Project related meetings, etc.

  1. Non-Project tasks can be accessed via the Administration menu: Administration → App Settings → Time Tracking → Non-Project Tasks
