Importing Data
The app does not currently support bulk data import. Time entries must be logged through:
- The app's Log Time interface
- Jira's native worklog API (worklogs created via API are visible in the app automatically)
Jira Worklog API
For teams that want to programmatically create worklogs that appear in the app:
- Use the Jira Cloud REST API - Add worklog endpoint:
POST /rest/api/3/issue/{issueIdOrKey}/worklog
Required fields:
timeSpentSeconds: Time logged in seconds (e.g., 3600 = 1 hour)started: ISO 8601 datetime string
Worklogs created this way appear in the Time Tracking report builder automatically.
Data Retention
App configuration data (report setups, templates, portfolios, scoring) is stored in Forge KVS and is retained as long as the app is installed. Uninstalling the app permanently deletes all app-stored configurations. Jira worklogs are stored in Jira and are unaffected by app installation/uninstallation.
