Introduction to Tempo Machine Learning Models
Important
This feature is new and not yet available to all customers. To participate in Tempo's Early Access Program and gain access to this feature, visit our TempoLab page.
Tempo is moving towards automating and making life easier for our end users. The first area of automation is the Activity Feed. You would have already noticed suggestions in My Work calendar and list view. This feature is now being enhanced using the Machine Learning model. You will see a mix of machine learning model suggestions and other issue keys that you previously used to log time in the timesheet. The predictions are based on the Event Title, Event Description, and historical logged time of all the Tempo timesheet cloud users.
Notice
Tempo does not collect or store any information and keeps the data anonymous.
With the introduction of the machine learning model, the following features are available:
Suggestions in the issue picker
Prediction of the missing issue key
Suggestions in Issue Picker :
The machine learning model predicts based on previously logged activities in your timesheet. As Tempo is embarking on the path of using Machine learning models instead of rule-based engines, to provide more precise predictions and ease the time entry process.
When you click the issue picker, there will be a maximum of 4 suggestions predicted by our learning models which are denoted by a lightning bolt icon. You will see a mix of machine learning model suggestions and other issue keys that you previously used to log time in the timesheet.
Note
The predictions will get better as the model learns from behaviors and patterns of how people log time in Tempo.

To find and select an issue from Log Time form:
Click Log Time to open the Log Time form
Click in the Search box to display the issue lists.
Select the issue to log time against it.
Warning
The Plan Time form issue list does not provide machine learning model suggestions.
Missing Issue Keys :
The events coming from Google or Microsoft calendar integrations with no Jira issue key specified in the title of the event are displayed as Incomplete activities in the My Work view.
With machine learning, you will now see fewer incomplete activities as the model predicts the Jira issue key for some of them. When you click the issue picker, there will be a maximum of 4 suggestions predicted by the machine learning model which are denoted by a lightning bolt icon.
Note
Even after predicting the missing issue key, an exclamation mark might appear if there are any custom attributes that are mandatory.
