Viewing Screenshots

You can filter the screenshots taken by:

1. There are 2 options to view the screenshots. Every 10 min (breakdown by 10-minute intervals) and All screenshots.
   
2. Selecting the date on the Calendar, toggling the left and right buttons to move between dates, clicking Today to show the current day’s screenshots, and All Notes to filter screenshots where notes were added by your team members. Dates with activity will be highlighted in blue, future dates are grayed out, and days without activity are displayed in black.
   
3. Timezone – select either the organization’s timezone (Default), member’s timezone, or the viewer account’s timezone.
   
4. Member – you can use the member selection dropdown to choose a specific team member. Users without time tracked will appear under the “No time tracked” section of the dropdown.
   
5. Filters – Filter by Member to filter screenshot activity by team member, by Project to filter screenshots recorded on a specific project, by Time type to filter screenshots by type (Idle/Resumed/etc.), by Source to filter screenshots by the app used to track time, and finally, by Activity level to filter screenshots by activity percentage. You can filter activity levels in increments of 10% as well as 95% to have more granularity on higher activity level averages.
   

On the thumbnail gallery, you can hover on the Activity Bar shown in Green on a 10-minute block of time to view the Activity Level, and the breakdown of keyboard and mouse activity. In this case, the user was active 80% of the ten-minute block between 9:00 am-9:10 am with a 7% keyboard and 74% mouse activity.

Activity levels from 20% to 50% will be color-coded as Yellow (caution status).

Activity levels from 0% to 20% will be color-coded as Red (warning status).
