Update Time Spent on an Issue

When you work on an issue, create a time spent entry each time you update the issue:

1. Click the issue link to open it in the Issues page.
2. In the Time section, click Add Time Spent.
3. In the Add Time Spent dialog box, in Time Spent, specify the number of days you’ve spent on the issue.
4. To subtract the value specified in Time Spent from the existing value of Remaining (if set), use the default Reduce remaining ... days by entered Time Spent option.

   If Remaining isn’t set, then the value specified in Time Spent is subtracted from Estimate. The option is disabled if the Estimated field isn’t set.

   To specify the remaining days manually, select the Set to option and specify the remaining estimate.

5. In Comment, add a comment.
6. Click OK.

The Time Spent Log section shows the time spent entry of the time spent and updates the graph.

• To edit the time spent entry, click Edit and update the fields in the Edit Time Spent dialog.

• To remove a time spent entry, click Remove and update the fields in the Update Time Spent dialog box.

The remaining time is adjusted automatically.
