Log Time for Your Tempo Team Members

although your team members may have been logging their time regularly using tempo timesheets what happens when they can't log their time on their own in this lesson you'll learn how a team lead can log time on behalf of a team member sometimes a team member gets sick or they're on vacation when their timesheet is due and they can't even use the tempo mobile app to log time remotely although you as a team lead can grant a grace period for the team member to log time themselves when they return you can also come to their rescue by logging time for them as you might imagine you need permissions to do this and this is the log work for others permission for the projects on which your team is working because this is a project level permission your JIRA administrator needs to grant this to you once the log work for others permission is granted you can log work for someone else and this is easy as done from your team's timesheet from your team's overview simply click the timesheet button using the date range settings first set the time period for which your team member needs to have their time logged find the team member in the list and either individually click days where time needs to be logged or click and drag across multiple days either way the log time dialog opens select the JIRA issue from the picker and enter a description if you like and enter the number of hours that the member worked per day on this issue these other fields are customized for this organization so you probably won't have the same ones click log time when you're done a work log is created for them and you're all done another way to log time for a member is from my work if you're in the calendar click the timesheet button to go to that view next to your name click the arrow to open a list and enter the name of the team member to switch to their personal timesheet again find the date for which you need to log time for them you can click or drag in the days for an existing issue or click the log time button to log their time to any issue either way the long time dialog opens and you can complete it as you did before you can even select log another to keep this dialog open and continue logging time to more issues for them when you're done their work log is displayed in their timesheet logging time for your team members is sometimes the easiest solution when time is running out in a reporting period logging time for your team members is just one way in which you can be an effective team lead in the next lesson you'll learn how you can be involved in your organization's timesheet approval process
