Reporting

Reporting feature of Kimai

Kimai 1.30.0 Kimai 1.14 Kimai 1.13 2.16.0 (latest version)

Access to the reporting screens has every user with the view_reporting permission. Each user can configure a personal default reporting screen (since Kimai 1.14) in their user preferences (default: Weekly view for one user).

There are two kind of report types:

  • Rounded times - uses the (rounded) duration, which will be used in invoice and exports as well
  • Real times - displays the real tracked times (like the dashboard working time widget) and NOT the rounded times, records which are passing midnight will be split into the two entries
  • Working times - Like Real times with the difference that entries will not be split at midnight, but calculated for the day of the start time

Permissions

The following permissions are generally relevant for all reporting views:

  • view_reporting - to be able to see the report menu
  • view_other_timesheet - for choosing users
  • view_other_reporting - for seeing reports with other users
  • view_all_data - see all user (otherwise team member)

If the current user owns the view_other_timesheet permission the displayed username will be replaced by a user select box. The available users to choose from are either all (if the user owns the permission view_all_data) or all his team member (if he is a team leader).

Available reports

The following reports exist in Kimai. Your installation might have more, as plugins can ship their own reports.

  • Required permission: view_reporting and budget_project
  • Type of report: Rounded times

Extending the reports

You can add your own views to the reporting panel by listening to the ReportingEvent:

namespace KimaiPlugin\DemoBundle\EventSubscriber;

use App\Event\ReportingEvent;
use App\Reporting\Report;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;

final class ReportingEventSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    public static function getSubscribedEvents(): array
    {
        return [
            ReportingEvent::class => ['onReportingMenu', 100],
        ];
    }

    public function onReportingMenu(ReportingEvent $event)
    {
        // add a report to the menu: unique id,      the route name,     the label to be translated
        $event->addReport(new Report('week_by_user', 'report_user_week', 'report_user_week'));
    }
}

Now all you need to do: create a controller that renders your report. Make sure to include an @Security("is_granted('view_reporting')") permission check.
