Your working hours are equal to your logged hours in Jira. Here are some examples for the conversion:
Zeitformat in Jira | Zeitformat in Moco | Erklärung |
|---|---|---|
4h | 4h | Hours will be transfered to MOCO accordingly. |
1h 30m | 1,5h | In Jira you have to type in single minutes. MOCO will convert them to hours. |
1d | 8h | 1d describes one working day and is equal to 8h. |
1h 7m | 1h | MOCO rounds up or down to the next quarter of an hour. Up to 7 minutes will be adjusted downwards. |
1h 8m | 1,25h | Starting with 8 minutes MOCO will round up to the next quarter of an hour. |
1d 2h | 10h | Every hour that extends one working day will be added to 8h. |
2.2 Transfer of the working description
The description in MOCO will be created accordingly to the entry in your working description in Jira. If you haven't given any, the plugin will transfer the issue summary that was recorded in the ticket.
Entry in Jira | Entry in MOCO |
|---|---|
Working description: "Problem solved" | [Issue Key] Problem solved |
Working description: Nothing stated Issue Summary: Test XY | [Issue Key] Test XY |
2.3 Comparison of hours in Jira and MOCO
When you reload the detailpage of the ticket after logging working hours, you will see your MOCO status (orange marked) in the tab "Work Log".
