# User Guide

{% hint style="info" %}
**Before you start:** the app's fields only appear on issues if they have been configured by an admin.

To see and use these fields, your Jira admin must:

* install **Time Tracking Customfield** from Atlassian Marketplace,
* create one or more custom fields of type **Time Tracking** or **Duration** (for example "QA Estimate", "SLA Limit"),
* add these fields to the relevant screens (Create, View/Edit, and optionally transition screens and portals) for your projects.

For admin-level details, see the [Getting Started](https://teranoapps.gitbook.io/time-tracking-custom-field/getting-started) and [Configuration](https://teranoapps.gitbook.io/time-tracking-custom-field/configuration) pages.

* Where you can see it (Create Issue, View/Edit, transitions, portals).
* How to enter and update time using Jira-style duration strings (for example `30m`, `2h`, `1d 3h`).

## Use Duration fields

* What a Duration field is and how it differs from a Time Tracking field.

## Looking for admin topics?

If you need to configure **bucket sets** (syncing multiple Time Tracking fields to Jira's native Time Tracking) or set up the **workflow validator** (requiring time to be logged before a transition), see the [Configuration](https://teranoapps.gitbook.io/time-tracking-custom-field/configuration) section.
