Using Reports for Logged Spent Time Analysis Tutorial

Step 1: Open the Personal Statement Report

Go to the global menu and click on Time reports.
Select Personal Statement from the options.

💡 Tip: Bookmark this page for faster access to your time tracking overview.

📌Note: If you don’t see this menu, verify that time tracking is enabled and that you have permission to view it.

Step 2: Apply Filters

Use the filter options to narrow down the data:

Project
User
Date range
Activity

Click Apply to view the filtered results.

📌Note: You can combine filters to get specific segments of data (e.g. testing activities by one team member).

⚠️ Corner Situation: Filtering by user may exclude group-assigned tasks. Always double-check that you're viewing individual time logs.

Step 3: Use the Spent Time Widget

Go to your Personal Dashboard.
Click Edit dashboard and add the Spent Time widget.
Configure the widget to display:
- Time range
- Report type (List, Bar chart, Pie chart)
- Grouping options (User, Activity, Project)

💡 Tip: Use different widgets with pre-set filters for quick overview of different departments or weeks.

📌Note: If the chart shows no data, apply grouping and filters before switching to visual view.

Step 4: Visualize Using the Calendar View

Add the Spent Time Calendar widget to your dashboard.
It displays time entries day-by-day in a calendar format.
Hover over entries to see task details and durations.

📌 Note: Calendar entries do not display overlapping entries visually — use Personal Statement for detailed log inspection.

⚠️ Corner Situation: Timer-logged tasks may show default start times unless From–To logging is enabled.

Step 5: Export the Report

From the Personal Statement or Spent Time widget, click on Export.
Choose CSV or XLS format.
Save the file and open it for offline processing or sharing.

💡 Tip: Use Excel pivot tables or Google Sheets filters to perform further analysis offline.

⚠️ Warning: Some browsers may block downloads — check pop-up settings if nothing happens after clicking export.
