The Worklog

[alTair21k]

Hey, I really loved super productivity . It is a great tool and I am super happy that I found it! , I am using it for a week now .

the only thing that I really don't fully understand is what's the difference between the (quick history) and the (worklog) .

from what I already read : the worklog should show all the tasks (added and completed) with the (restore from archive) icon besides the completed tasks only . but in my case it appears for all the tasks in the worklog .

so is the problem in my understanding or something in the feature itself ?!

*note : I used the desktop, mobile and web app to test the worklog behavior and all the same .

Hi @alTair21k . I'm not sure if I understand correctly, so please forgive me if I I'm stating something obvious to you.

Both quick history and worklog are similar but not 100% identical in functionality.

The quick history gives you a concise overview over all the days you spent any time on any task. Clicking on each day is a drill down to the exact tasks you spent time on.

The worklog also give you a summary for each day and tasks in a drill down, with the added options to restore tasks and to create a custom report for the time you spent on tasks. It is true that the restore-button is there for every task, even though a task might not have been completed yet. I believe this is an oversight or even a small bug.

thanks @Jagdfalke for your reply. the issue is that the tasks listed in both the (quick history) and (worklog) are any task I added through the day (completed or not) which makes both the (quick history) and the (worklog) the same thing in my use case.

As productivity is about the tasks we have completed and those we have left behind. so it would be a great feature to have in a really helpful app like super productivity to at least have a summary for (today or project) have the tasks organized between the completed and only added tasks for that day , after I click on ( FINISH DAY )

I think of it like that :

when I click ( FINISH DAY ) at the end of my workday (specifically for Today not other projects)
the completed tasks get tagged as completed
the other didn't completed tasks tagged as failed or missed

I tried to use tags and projects as a workaround but not the perfect solution.

So I started this discussion.

thanks.

Hi @alTair21k . So if I understand correctly it is the unexpected behaviour that Quick History and Worklog list tasks you didn't work on, is that correct? In that case, this can be considered a bug. I therefore created two issues: #3121, #3122.

Would you mind checking the issues to see if I got everything correct? Is there something else that bugs you or is missing?

Hi @Jagdfalke . yes, this exactly was my issue.
thanks for the help , I reviewed both issues you created and now understand the purpose.
I have been using a workaround since then by depending on tags and this way helped me for achieving what I want.

Thanks again for your concern
