Clever Solutions for Worklog Reminders?

[Michael Johnson]

Hello,

Anyone have any clever ideas for reminding team members to fill out worklogs? We're currently using a morning daily filter sub that shows worklogs entered the previous day as well as a 4p Slack reminder on the 'day of' but in spite of that, I still have to remind individual team members several times a week to fill out their worklogs.

Ideally, I'm looking for a method to remind team members when the previous day is null or even better if their cumulative value is low for the day.

Would love to hear some thoughts.

Hi @Michael Johnson 

I'm Daniel from an app vendor, EverIT. We have two different methods for this in our apps, based on whether you are on Data Center or the Cloud. 

On Data Center, the app Timetracker has a feature called Missing Days Report, which checks if your users have enough hours logged according to their requirements, and sends email alerts if not.  You can read more details about it in our documentation.

On Cloud, we put this feature in a separate free app, called Fillchecker (and you might still use it together with Timetracker for other worklog-related reports and a better time-tracking user experience.

As for cumulative reports - they both offer the report on an individual level, but the visuals provide a quick overview. You can check both apps here. Happy to show them in a demo if interested. 

Best,

Daniel
