Worklog Insights
Overview
The Worklog Insights gadget helps you visualize who worked on what and when. It pulls worklog data from Jira so you can filter time entries for a single sprint, an entire space, a single user, or across multiple teams. Switch between a detailed table, a pie chart showing how time was distributed, or a bar chart tracking effort over time. Click into any chart segment to jump directly to the relevant issues in Jira.
Example use cases
Project Leads: Display a table of work logged per work item so you can audit time spent against specific tasks.
Resource Managers: Visualize work logged by user over time (Bar/Line chart) to identify burnout or underutilization.
Program Managers: Aggregate worklogs at the Project or Initiative level to report on high-level roadmap progress.
General Users: Use JQL and date filters to dynamically narrow your time-tracking view to specific sprints or teams.
How to configure the gadget
This section explains how to add and configure the gadget.
To add the gadget to a dashboard:
Click Edit in your dashboard, then click Add Gadget.
Use the Search bar in the Add gadget page to find the required gadget.
Select the Worklog Insights gadget.
(optional) The name field is completed by default. You can edit the name to make it more meaningful to your team.
Select the datasource from where you want to retrieve work item statistics. To learn more about datasource types, see Datasources.
Select a date range for the work items you want to track, for example, Last 4 months or Weekly.
Select how to group the results of the date range. You can group by Day, Week, Month, Quarter, or Year.
(optional) Use the filter options to limit the data you analyze. Optionally, select a Jira filter or enter a JQL query.
Select a view type to best visualize data. The options are table view, pie chart, and bar or line charts.
(optional) Depending on the view type you select, choose how to group the data. See the filtering options in the next section for more information.
Click Add to save the configuration and add the gadget to your dashboard.
You can resize or reposition any gadget in a dashboard to prioritize specific data and enhance the dashboard layout.
How to filter the data
The filter options let you focus only on the data you want to see for more granular insights and better performance.
JQL
The JQL filter works the same way as in Jira. Enter a valid JQL query or select a saved filter to limit the work items used for the worklog report.
Example queries:
project = "Mobile App" AND issuetype = Storysprint in openSprints() AND assignee in membersOf("backend-team")labels = "Q2-Roadmap" AND status != Done
Date range
Select a preset or use Custom to select a date range to include in the report.
Group dates by: Select an option to apply to the resulting work items. For example, if your date range is This Quarter, you might select Group by week.
Wide date ranges, for example, an entire year, across large spaces, can increase load times. If you experience slowness, narrow the date range or use a JQL filter first.
Segments
Some view types include options to segment the data into smaller, meaningful groups so you can spot patterns and make better decisions. For example, in a Grouped bar chart, you can compare work logged across different spaces, see how time is spread across work types, or break down contributions by user.
Select projects: If you use a chart to visualize the data, you can limit the work items to be analyzed to specific projects.
Work logged by: If you use a chart to visualize the data, you can limit the work items to be analyzed to specific users.
