You can log time for tasks only. If you need to report time you've spent working on a story, you have to create a task (if you haven't already) and click the clock icon next to the Work Completed field. A dialog box will come up and you can enter how many hours you've spend that day on that task. You can also use the Timesheet screen (Work -> Timesheet). On that screen you'll see all tasks assigned to you + all general tasks for your projects. You'll be able to enter time for each task and also see the total work you've completed for that day and week across all tasks. Do you need to log time? If you are billing some other parties for the work you do - you probably should. Or if your boss commands you to. But TeamPulse has plenty of other ways to help you do your work on time.

Yes, go to Analyze -> Time entries. You'll see a list with all time entries for the past 7 days for all people across all projects. You can group inside that grid by dragging&dropping column titles onto the group by row. This way you can group time entries by for example project to see how many hours you've spent per project during this time period. Or group by person, or any other field that is visible in the grid. Work completed by default is calculated based on the time entries for the given task. If you've logged two time entries for 2 hours each, work completed calculated by TeamPulse will be 4. You can disable this. Check your Time Tracking settings.Time Tracking
