Worklog Extractor
A worklog extractor in Jira is a tool that allows you to extract worklog data from Jira and store it in a desired format. This can be useful for tracking employee productivity, analyzing team performance, or generating reports for clients.
Here are some points for the UI design based on requirements:
Add Projects Field: You can create a text input field where users can enter the project names. This field can also include a drop-down menu or autocomplete functionality to allow users to select from existing projects.
Add Users Field: Similar to the Projects field, you can create a text input field for users to enter the usernames or email addresses of team members associated with the projects. Again, you can include a drop-down menu or autocomplete functionality to facilitate user selection.
Add Date Range Field: You can use a date picker or two separate date input fields to allow users to specify the start and end dates for the time range they want to retrieve worklog data for. This can help users filter the data based on a specific date range.
Download Worklog Data Button: Create a button labeled "Download" that users can click to initiate the download of worklog data based on the projects, users, and date range specified. This can trigger a backend process that generates a downloadable file in a preferred format, such as CSV or Excel.
Worklog Data Table: Create a table to display the worklog data in a tabular format. The table can have columns such as Project Name, User, Issue/Task, Time Spent, and Date. Each row in the table can represent a worklog entry for a particular project, user, and issue/task. You can include sorting and filtering options to allow users to sort and filter the table data based on their needs.
Pagination: If the table contains a large amount of data, you can implement pagination to limit the number of rows displayed per page. You can include navigation buttons or a drop-down menu to allow users to navigate through different pages of the table and view the worklog data in a more organized manner.
Steps to Create a Worklog Extractor in Jira
Follow the steps below to create a worklog extractor in Jira:
Connect to the Jira API using the requests library. You can do this by sending a GET request to the Jira API endpoint.
Authenticate with Jira using your user credentials or an API token. This will allow you to access the worklog data.
Retrieve a list of issues with worklogs from Jira using a JQL search. This can be done by sending a GET request to the Jira API endpoint with the appropriate parameters.
Loop through each issue and retrieve its worklogs using the Jira API. This can be done by sending a GET request to the Jira API endpoint for each issue.
Parse the worklog data and store it in a desired format. For example, you could store the data in a CSV file or a database.
End the extraction process.
