# How to track time spent on issues

In Yandex Tracker, you can keep track of the time spent on issues. With time tracking, you can plan project deadlines and budgets more effectively and identify the problem areas in how your team handles issues. {#description}

You can choose from two time tracking options:

* [Basic](#limited-spent-time)
* [Advanced](#extended-spent-time)

## Basic time tracking {#limited-spent-time}

<!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
Basic time tracking offers three parameters for estimating work effort:

* **Original Estimate**. We recommend specifying the time you plan to spend on the issue before you begin.
* **Estimate**. Use this field to estimate how much longer you plan to work on the issue.
* **Time Spent**. This field displays the total of all entries about spent time.

{% cut "How the **Estimate** field value changes" %}

If the **Estimate** field contains a value, it updates with each new Time Spent entry:

* If you leave the **Original Estimate** field empty, whenever you add a new time entry, the value of the **Estimate** field will decrease by the specified amount of time.

* If the **Original Estimate** field contains a value:

   When the **Time Spent** value is greater than the **Original Estimate**, the value of the **Estimate** field decreases by the difference between the other two fields.

   Subsequently, whenever you add a time entry, the value of the **Estimate** field will decrease by the specified amount of time.

{% endcut %}

### Logging spent time {#add-limited-time-spent}

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
   In the upper-right corner of the issue, select **Actions** ![](../_assets/svg/unwrap.svg)</svg> → **Add time spent**.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
   Fill in the **Time Spent** field.

   If you omit the unit, the field will default to the time unit specified in the queue settings. For example:

   * 1 week and 3 days: `1w 3d`.
   * 3 hours, 20 minutes, 30 seconds: `3h 20m 30s`.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

<!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
Fill in the other fields if needed:

* **Date to log work for**. Specify the date and time in your local time zone.
* **Comment**. Add a comment to a worklog entry. The comment will appear in the [issue's change history](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/history.md), in the [history of time tracking entries](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/time-spent.md#records-history), and in the [report on time spent](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/reports.md#time-spent-report).
    The parameters available depend on the [queue's time tracking settings](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/queue-spent-time.md#settings).
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

1. Click **Save**.

<!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
You can add multiple entries, and the specified time will be added together. In basic tracking mode, you can only change Time Spent entries using [API requests](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/api-ref/issues/patch-worklog.md).

{% note tip "" %}

Time spent can be specified by the assignee or other users with access to the issue. The [report on time spent](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/reports.md#time-spent-report) shows a separate total for each employee who logged time for the issue.

{% endnote %}
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

### Viewing time spent {#show-time-spent}

<!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
You can view the time spent in the **Time Tracking** parameters on the issue page or in the [report on time spent](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/reports.md#time-spent-report).

If the issue doesn't feature **Time Tracking** parameters, add them:

1. At the bottom of the section with issue parameters, click **Edit parameters list**.

1. In the **Time Tracking** category, select **Time Spent** and **Estimate**.
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

## Advanced time tracking {#extended-spent-time}

<!-- source: en/_includes/benefits-of-extended-time.md -->
With advanced time tracking, you can:

- Edit or delete Time Spent entries without API access.
- Enable automatic tracking of the time spent.
- Add the issue progress bar.
- Change the time display format.
- Specify the time as an integer or a decimal.
<!-- endsource: en/_includes/benefits-of-extended-time.md -->

If you want to switch to advanced time tracking, enable [this option in the queue settings](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/queue-spent-time.md):

### Logging spent time {#add-extended-time-spent}

1. Open the time tracking section using one of the following methods:

    * <!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
      In the upper-right corner of the issue, select **Actions** ![](../_assets/svg/unwrap.svg)</svg> → **Add time spent**.
      <!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

    * In the right panel, click **Time Tracking**.

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
   Fill in the **Time Spent** field.

   * 1 week and 3 days: `1w 3d`.
   * 3 hours, 20 minutes, 30 seconds: `3h 20m 30s`.
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

    <!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
    * 4 hours and 30 minutes (if you set **minutes** as the time unit): `270`.
    * 4 hours and 30 minutes (if you set **hours** as the time unit): `4.5` or `4,5`.
    <!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

1. <!-- source: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->
   Fill in the other fields if needed:

   * **Date to log work for**. Specify the date and time in your local time zone.
   * **Comment**. Add a comment to a worklog entry. The comment will appear in the [issue's change history](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/history.md), in the [history of time tracking entries](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/time-spent.md#records-history), and in the [report on time spent](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/user/reports.md#time-spent-report).
       The parameters available depend on the [queue's time tracking settings](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/queue-spent-time.md#settings).
   <!-- endsource: en/_includes/time-spent.md -->

### Viewing and editing the entry history {#records-history}

- To view an issue's time tracking entries, hover over **Time Tracking** in the right panel and click ![](../_assets/svg/history.svg)</svg> **History of time tracking records**.

{% note warning "" %}

You can edit the history of entries only if the queue settings have the [**Allow the assignee to edit logged time** option](https://yandex.com.tr/support/tracker/en/manager/queue-spent-time.md) enabled.
