1. In the Tempo UI, go to Settings > API Integration
2. Create a new API token
3. Copy the token and add it to the extension preferences

2. Jira API Token

This extension integrates with Jira for issue management. You'll need:

Usage

Adding a Worklog

1. Open the "Add Worklog" command
2. Select an issue from favorites, recent activity, assigned issues, or search
3. Choose one of the following input modes:
   • Enter a duration directly (for example 1h, 1h30m, 45m, 2h)
   • Enable Use Start and End Time to derive the duration from a time range
4. Optionally add a description
5. Select the date or enter a custom date
6. Submit to log your work

The extension remembers whether you prefer duration entry or start/end time entry, so you do not need to switch modes every time.

Viewing Worklogs

1. Open the "List Worklogs" command
2. Browse worklogs grouped by day
3. Use actions to edit duration, delete, or add issues to favorites
4. Click "Load More" to view older work logs (pagination week per week)
