# Time Tracking & Hour Logging
The Hours module allows you to review your logged working time — synced directly from external issue tracking systems like YouTrack or JIRA. This provides transparency and control over how your time is being recorded and accounted for across projects.
### **Main functions**
1. **Hours Table**
This table contains details of the hours reported, broken down into columns. The data is taken from an external system, e.g. Jira, YouTrack. Each logged hour appears as a row in the table.
2. **Date filters (time range)**
At the top, you can set the date range (From - To) for which you want to view the reported hours you spent on your tasks.
3. **Summary: Total Hours**
Just below the filters, you’ll see a TOTAL value (e.g. 160h) showing the number of hours recorded for the selected time range. This gives you a clear picture of your overall activity.
**4. Side Panel: Hours per Project**
On the right-hand side, you’ll find the **Per project summary**:
* Lists each project you’ve worked on during the selected period
* Displays the total hours logged per project
This gives you a quick view of where your time is going — especially helpful for reviewing focus and effort distribution across multiple clients or internal initiatives.
