    Time tracking

    Log time on issues — and what that time powers.

    Time in Aztra is logged per issue, and it's doing more work than you might think: it gates completion, feeds utilization, and prices delivered work in project budgets.

    Logging time

    • Quick log — one-tap buttons on the issue add common increments without opening a dialog.
    • The time dialog — open the issue's time tracking to log a specific amount with a note.
    • See the total — each issue shows its logged time, including time on its sub-issues.

    Why it's required

    An issue can't enter review or be completed until time is logged on it. That single rule keeps the numbers downstream honest:

    • Utilization — team workload views reflect real recorded effort.
    • Costing — when an issue completes, its cost is calculated from logged time and the person's rate (see Budget & costing).
    • Reports — completed-work reports can say what things actually took.

    Seeing "Please log time before moving to this status"? That's this rule — log your time on the issue, then move it.

    Log as you go rather than reconstructing at the end of the week — thirty seconds after finishing a task beats an hour of archaeology on Friday.
