7pace Billable Hours
This bar chart displays a monthly overview of total billable time.
Prerequisites
7pace for Jira Cloud: You need to have 7pace Timetracker installed on your Jira Cloud instance. If you aren’t already using 7pace Timetracker, you can try it free from our Atlassian Marketplace listing.
7pace API Token: Create this token in 7pace Timetracker and copy it to a safe place. You will need this token to set up your datasource in Dashboard Hub. Learn how to create this token in the 7pace API documentation.
Datasource: You need a Custom Reports datasource configured through REST API so that the report can connect 7pace data with the relevant Jira data.
Dashboard Hub dashboard: You need to have a dashboard set up to add Custom Report gadgets.
How to set up the 7pace datasource
To connect 7pace data with relevant data in your Jira instance, you need to configure a REST API datasource.
In Dashboard Hub, select More actions (…) > Add datasource.
Select Custom Reports.
Configure the datasource:
Name: Provide a name for the datasource to help you identify it when managing your datasources.
URL: Enter the root URL of the latest 7pace API version. Refer to the 7pace API documentation for the latest version. In the following example, we’re using:
https://timehubjra.7pace.com/api/v1Authentication type: Select
Bearer token.Token: Paste the 7pace API token into the Token field. This token is a prerequisite. If you haven’t created it yet, follow the steps in the 7pace API documentation.
Click Add.

Troubleshooting
URL depth
If you receive a warning that an API call can’t be completed, compare the depth of URL paths defined in the report configuration and the datasource.
We recommend that your datasource setup uses the following URL format: https://timehubjira.7pace.com/api/v1, then the report configuration can be written with only the necessary endpoint.
