Worked hours are hours that were spent working on the Folio's Scope by team members. Together with wages, they form the basis for calculating the actual cost incurred by human resources in a project and are therefore key when inferring health indices.

Providing Worked Hours

Worked hours can either be provided in various ways, from manual entry to automatic computation.

Manually entered

Worked hours can be manually added, edited and deleted using the Worked hours table located in team member details panel.

Automatically calculated based on the Wages table

By default, worked hours are automatically calculated based on the resource's allocation (as specified in the Wages table) and Folio's Working Schedule configuration.

Synchronized with the JIRA worklogs

Worked hours can be configured to be automatically populated from the standard JIRA Worklogs. This configuration can be done globally for the Folio, or on a per-member basis by clicking/unclicking the Sync with Worklogs button. When synchronized, worked hours of a member are automatically updated as he or she logs time on the Folio's issues, either directly in JIRA or using a time tracking add-on, such as Tempo Timesheets.

Since most of the timesheets add-ons such as Tempo, populate the JIRA worklogs, FOLIO is fully compatible with these add-ons.

Adding Worked Hours

To manually add worked hours, click on the Add Worked Hours button in the top right corner of the Worked hours section located in the team member details panel. Submit your changes by typing return or by clicking anywhere in the page.

Required Parameters
Date from	Start date of the work period. Must be before the Date to and cannot be in the future.
Date to	End date of the work period Must be after the Date from and cannot be in the future.
Worked hours	Number of hours worked during the work period. Must be greater than 0.

If worked hours are synchronized with the JIRA worklogs, you cannot add manually work periods. You can only edit the existing ones.

Editing Worked Hours

To manually edit worked hours, click on the Worked Hours row table you want to edit. Submit your changes by typing return or by clicking anywhere in the page. The same validation rules apply than when adding worked hours.

In the case where the worked hours are based on the JIRA worklogs, only the number of worked hours can be updated. Work periods are fixed and are weekly based.

Deleting Worked Hours

To delete worked hours, click on the trash icon on the Worked Hours table row your want to delete.

It is not possible to delete worked hours that are synchronized with the JIRA worklogs. You must enter a time of 0h if you want FOLIO to ignore some work periods.
