WorkLog Configuration
The Worklog Configuration dialog allows you to control how the JIRA worklogs are imported into JIRA. The Connector has the ability for it to look at the JIRA worklogs to calculate the amount of work that has been completed on an individual task.
Set task start date to date of first work log entry
This option will look at all the worklogs for an JIRA issue and it will update the task start date in Microsoft Project with the date of the first (earliest) worklog that it finds.
Set task finish / deadline date to the date of the last work log entry
This option will look at all of the worklogs for a JIRA issue and it will update the task finish date (or deadline date depending on how you have The Connector mapped) in Microsoft Project with the date of the last (most recent) worklog that it finds.
Include work logs done by the issue assignee
If this option is checked, it will include the worklogs that match the current task assignment in Microsoft Project. For example, if the task is assigned to "billsmith", then only the worklogs entered by JIRA user "billsmith" will be included in the totals.
Include work logs not done by the issue assignee
If this option is checked, it will include the worklogs that DO NOT match the current task assignment in Microsoft Project. This option can be useful if you do not care about who performed the work. You simply want a total of all the effort that has been spent on a specific task irregardless of the user.
The Connector also has the ability to set the actual work data in Microsoft Project down to the day level. This will look at the individual worklogs for an issue, sum those worklogs based on their date, and it will update the time scale data (actual work) in Microsoft Project on the days when the worklogs were recorded.
To enable this option, you must select the "Import JIRA daily totals into Microsoft Project assignment" option.
