# Overview

#### Welcome to **Missing Worklog Reminder** – Automated Time Tracking Compliance for Jira Cloud

We’re proud to introduce **Missing Worklog Reminder**, your intelligent assistant for keeping Jira worklogs accurate, complete, and policy-compliant — automatically.\
Whether your goal is to enforce time-tracking discipline, improve billing accuracy, or simply help teams stay on top of daily logs, our app runs quietly in the background and keeps everyone accountable.

***

**🚀 What Is Missing Worklog Reminder?**

**Missing Worklog Reminder** is a Forge-based Jira Cloud app that continuously monitors user worklogs against configurable policies.\
It identifies missing or incomplete entries, triggers targeted reminders, and maintains transparent compliance records — all without manual follow-up.

Through scheduled checks and policy-driven automation, it ensures that your teams log their time correctly every day, week, or month.\
You define the rules — the app does the rest.

***

**💡 What Problems Does It Solve?**

* **Forgotten or incomplete worklogs:** Automatically detect when users miss their daily or weekly logging targets.
* **Inconsistent reporting:** Maintain accurate utilisation data for billing, audits, or sprint retrospectives.
* **Manager overhead:** Stop chasing people for updates — the app reminds users directly in Jira.
* **Compliance visibility:** Gain a clear overview of who’s compliant, who’s lagging, and how quickly issues are resolved.

***

**🌟 Why Missing Worklog Reminder Stands Out**

* **Automated background checks**\
  Policies run on a schedule, analysing users and groups in the background. No need for manual reviews or Excel exports.
* **Flexible policy rules**\
  Configure thresholds (daily, weekly, monthly) and decide whether to apply them per project, per user group, or globally.
* **Smart notifications**\
  Deliver reminders directly inside Jira — as flags, comments, Jira emails or redirects — ensuring users see them exactly where they work.
* **Self-service dashboards**\
  Each user gets a **“My Reminders”** page showing unresolved escalations and compliance history, so they can act fast and stay accountable.
* **Transparent audit trail**\
  Every policy run and reminder is logged, giving admins traceability for audits, finance, or HR reviews.
* **Privacy-conscious by design**\
  The app stores only the data it needs: hours, time windows, and policy metadata — not work descriptions or sensitive notes.

***

**🎯 Who Is It For?**

* **Team Leads** – Track who’s falling behind on worklogs without micromanaging.
* **Finance or PMO Teams** – Validate logged hours before billing or reporting.
* **Administrators** – Configure rules once and let automation handle reminders.
* **Developers & Analysts** – Get transparent feedback when logs are missing, without endless emails.

***

**🧠 Example Use Cases**

* Enforce **daily 8-hour logging policies** with flexible grace periods.
* Run **weekly checks** before billing cycles close.
* Detect **missing logs for external clients** to ensure accurate invoicing.
* Provide **individual feedback loops** that help users correct issues early.

***

**🛠 How It Works (In a Nutshell)**

1. Define your **policy** — rules, audience, and reminder type.
2. The app runs **scheduled checks** against Jira worklogs.
3. Missing entries trigger **reminders** (flags, comments, or redirects).
4. Users view and resolve their escalations in **My Worklog Reminders**.
5. Administrators monitor compliance through the **policy diagnostics** dashboard.

***

**❓ Still Not Sure If It’s Right for You?**

If you’ve ever lost time chasing unlogged work, dealing with inconsistent time reports, or explaining missing billable hours —\
**Missing Worklog Reminder** will become your silent but reliable partner in keeping data clean and teams accountable.
