Time estimation and tracking

Description

This plugin supports time tracking by adding the following to Trac:

• A Tasks !admin panel, where tasks can be created and assigned a time estimate.
• A Log !admin panel, where users can log the time they spend on these tasks.
• A new permission TIME_TRACKING that is required to use these panels.
• Two new database tables (to store these tasks and log entries).

Trac's reporting module can be used to define various reports that summarize these tasks and log entries. For reporting purposes tasks can be grouped into projects and categories, and log entries can record a location.

Tasks are created and estimated per year.

There is no formal connection between tasks and tickets. Informally wiki-links to tickets can be entered in the task or log descriptions.

Optional:

• Charts of burned up hours and activity per day using ​Chart.js.
• WeekPlanPlugin integration for calendar view of log entries.

Installation

Installation of the plugin requires the usual step with easy_install:

easy_install http://trac-hacks.org/svn/timetrackingplugin/trunk

Then enable it in Trac's plugin !admin page or in the [components] section in your trac.ini file:

[components]
timetracking.* = enabled

A database upgrade will be required as usual:

trac-admin path-to-your-trac-environment upgrade

Assign the new TIME_TRACKING and TIME_TRACKING_ADMIN permissions to the appropriate Trac groups / users, for example in Trac's permission !admin page.

Create reports under View Tickets. You can copy from the example reports.

Optionally you can change some configuration options in your trac.ini file to hide or rename certain fields. The defaults are:

[timetracking]
year = True
location = True
location.label = Location
category.label = Category
project.label = Project
