Highlight Hours configuration

[Alexey Kazakov]

Thank you for the 'Round Hours' and 'Highlight Hours' settings. They are very reasonable and I was very happy to see it in the recent update.

The logical development of these ideas, which will be very useful I think:

• Highlight range of hours
• Custom colors for over/under hours

Will you implement such features?

Also I have a question about current Highlight Hours setting. On screenshot you can see timesheet gadjet with Highlight Hours at 8,5H.

As you can see:

• Only 9 and above hours are highlighted with red, and hours under 8,5H looks like 8,5H
• Total hours highlight with red beyond my comprehension

Is this a bug or normal behavior? If this is normal, whats the point?

Hi Alexey,

Highlight range of hours and custom colors might be implemented sooner or later.

And regarding hours below 8.5h, looks like 8.5 as threshold does not work well. Am I right thinking that you have configured Highlight Hours: 8.5?

Total hours are highlighted basing on the period displayed, so for 21 working days in your case, total is compared with 8.5*21.

Thank you.

Hi Andriy,

Highlight range of hours and custom colors might be implemented sooner or later.

Would be really great!

Am I right thinking that you have configured Highlight Hours: 8.5?

Yeah, that's right. So threshold does not work well for lower values. Just tested on 9 hours as limit, same situaton.

Total hours are highlighted basing on the period displayed, so for 21 working days in your case, total is compared with 8.5*21

8.5*21=178.5 But in total I get: 40.5 hours not highlighted and 44.5 hours highlighted (3 and 5 rows in screenshot). Values below and above the threshold are highlighted with same color? Anyway, I see how total hours highlighting should work, but real behavior still beyond my comprehension.

Hi Alexey,

Unfortunately, I don't get a problem with 8.5 or 9 hours in daily highlight hours. What is your configuration for Hours per Day in Time Tracking settings in JIRA?

However I've found a problem with highlighting totals, and fixed.

Thank you.

Hi Andriy.

The number of working hours per day is 8.
The number of working days per week is 5.
Time estimates will be displayed in the following format: hours (e.g. 36.5h)
The current default unit for time tracking is hour.
Legacy mode is currently ON.
Copying of comments to work description is currently enabled.

Now changed working hours per day to 8.5, but gadgets look like before.

[Alexey Kazakov]

So at this moment:

JIRA time tracking

The number of working hours per day is 8.5.
The number of working days per week is 5.
Time estimates will be displayed in the following format: hours (e.g. 36.5h)
The current default unit for time tracking is hour.
Legacy mode is currently ON.

Timesheet Configuration

Highlight Hours 8.5
Round Hours half-hour

And example of what I get

Oh, I've got a thought, it might relate to Round Hours, will give a try, thank you for your help!

[Alexey Kazakov]

No problem, thank you.

Hi Alexey,

So I've found a problem and fixed it for next update, this or next week.

Note, looks like highlighting with rounded hours fulfills your request to highlight range of hours. So only changing colors remains, that I think is quite minor, and would like to keep from implementing it, however if you still would like to have it, please create separate issue.

Thank you.

Hi Alexey,

Version 3.0.6 with the fix for JIRA 7 is released.

Thank you.
