> ℹ️ **Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards** is an **extension** of the *[Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFP/pages/803406490)*[ ](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFP/pages/803406490)app.
This page extends the [Configuring Custom Values](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFP/pages/803405881) page from the *Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards* documentation. If you're not sure how the custom values work, you should check that page first.

About worklog custom values
*Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards* allows you to define custom values based on work logs (called w*orklog custom values*). You can define custom values using *Worklog Time Spent* as the base value. You can also use [WQL queries](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012930) to further refine the scope of the custom values. Check the [key concepts](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012890) page to learn how the filtering and grouping based on work log attributes work.
Once defined, the *worklog custom values* can be used in any gadget that accepts custom values. Below is an example of a Rich Filter Results gadget that shows the time spent on each issue by a period of time.

Adding and editing worklog custom values
Custom values based on work logs can be created, edited, deleted, or reordered like any other custom values. If you are unfamiliar with these operations, look at the [Configuring Custom Values](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFP/pages/803405881) page from the *Rich Filters for Jira Dashboards* documentation. The difference is that now you have new options you can choose from:
| **Setting** | **New options – description** |
| --- | --- |
| **Base value** | The user can select** Worklog Time Spent** as a base for the custom value.
 |
| **Value type** | The *value type* is automatically computed based on the *Base value* you have chosen.
 |
| **Total formula** | The total formula is used when displaying totals for the custom values. For *worklog custom values*, the only available option is a *Sum total*. |
| **Value display** | You can choose how to display the *worklog custom values*. As for the time tracking values, the available options are:
- Jira' time display format - the time tracking values will be displayed using the time format as [configured in Jira](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/configuring-time-tracking-938847808.html)
- Weeks - the values are displayed in weeks
- Days – the values are displayed in days
- Hours – the values are displayed in hours
- Minutes – the values are displayed in minutes
- Seconds – the values are displayed in seconds |
| **JQL ** | Custom values can have an optional **JQL **used to apply additional filtering when computing the value. *Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards* lets you include work log queries in your custom values' *JQL Filters* to filter both the issues and the work logs. Issues and work logs that do not satisfy the filter are not considered when computing the value.
See our [Advanced Work Log Searching](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012937) section to learn how to define custom work log queries. |

Using worklog custom values in rich filter gadgets
Once defined, the worklog custom values can be used in any rich filter gadget that displays custom values:
- The** Rich Filter Simple Counter **gadget
See also: [The Rich Filter Simple Counter Gadget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012883) documentation page to see how to configure the gadget
- The** Rich Filter Smart Counters **gadget
See also: [The Rich Filter Smart Counters Gadget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012873) documentation page to see how to configure the gadget
- The** Rich Filter statistics **gadget
See also: [The rich filter statistics gadget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012848)
- The **Rich Filter Two Dimensional Statistics **gadget
See also: [The rich filter two dimensional statistics gadget](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012820)
- The** Rich Filter Results **gadget

**Use worklog custom values in Time series**
You can also use Worklog custom values in **Time series **– if you are unsure how Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards allows you to define time series based on worklogs, you should check our [extending the time series](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012861) section.
Once defined, you can select a worklog** Custom value** as the **Base value** in any time series based on the *Worklog Date ***Series**.
The value type of the time series based on worklogs is automatically inherited from the custom value.
Time series based on *worklog custom values* can be displayed, like any other time series, as tables with the *Rich Filter Statistics* gadget or as line charts with the *Rich Filter Time Series Chart* gadget.
