The owner can manually override the computed hours with a specific value for a specific period for each team member via the worked hours table.
If JIRA is used to track time spent on the issues (using JIRA itself or any other Time tracking add-ons such as Tempo) FOLIO can be set to retrieve the team members worked hours directly from the issue worklogs by enabling the "Synchronize with JIRA's work logs" optionIf the Synchronise with the JIRA Worklogs option is selected, then the actual costs related to team members will be automatically calculated based on hours logged on the Folio's issues. If not selected, FOLIO evaluates the number of worked hours of a team member based on his or her Allocation percentage, as defined in the member's Wages table. |

To be able to create folios associated with a Scrum or a Kanban board, FOLIO needs to be connected with JIRA Agile. In case of Folio was installed before JIRA Agile you will need to Connect Folio with JIRA Agile By default, FOLIO automatically detects and attempts to connect with JIRA Agile when starting up. If for any reason FOLIO fails to connect with JIRA Agile, you can manually trigger the connection by clicking the Connect now button.
