About worklog time series

*Rich Filters::Time Tracking Dashboards* allow you to define time series based on work logs (called w*orklog time series*). More precisely, the time series can be based on the *Worklog Date* and aggregate the *Worklog Time Spent*. If you're unsure how the filtering and grouping based on work log attributes work, you should first understand our [Key concepts](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012890). 

The *worklog time series* can be displayed in the [Rich Filter Time Series Chart](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012831) and the [Rich Filter Statistics](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012848) gadgets to see historical trends in the time tracking data.

Adding and editing worklog time series

Time series based on work logs can be created, edited, deleted, or reordered like any other time series. If you are unfamiliar with these operations, check the [configuring time series](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFP/pages/803405886) 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** |
| --- | --- |
| **Series** | The user can select the *Worklog Date* attribute as the base for the time series.<br>![example of creating time series](media://c56c09b4-cb84-4d2d-a6ca-113a5a381d79) |
| **Base value** | If the series is based on the *Worklog Date*, then the only values available are the *Worklog Time Spent* and any other *[worklog custom values](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012854)* you might have defined.<br>![2025-09-25_14-33-42.png](media://86f4f9f1-f517-4e73-b1b2-57a0a0e2d085) |
| **Value Type** | The *Value Type* is automatically computed based on the Value setting. For the *Worklog Time Spent* value and *[worklog custom values](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/RFTT/pages/803012854)*, the type is always *Logged Time*.<br>![2025-09-25_14-35-30.png](media://a1ab0bb9-d851-4588-9e90-4a57f1caf442) |
