Account provisioning

Account provisioning refers to the process of adding team members without the need for a confirmation email. This makes it more convenient for corporate customers to add single users or in bulk. To learn more about how to do this, click here.

Creating a corporate automatic tracking policy

After creating users, you’ll need to add them to a corporate automatic tracking policy. To add a new policy:

First, navigate to Settings & Policies > General.

Next, go to the Timer & Tracking tab, click Add policy, then choose For company-owned computers.

Fill in the following:

1. Policy name
2. Teams/members
3. Automatically add new members to this policy (optional)
4. Timer start/stop rules
   1. All time – records activities as long as there is computer activity.
   2. Fixed schedule – record activity based on a custom fixed schedule.
   3. Shifts – record activity during scheduled shifts.
5. Don’t start timer until first activity – this means the recording won’t start until there is any detected keyboard/mouse activity.
6. Days of the week and start/stop times – set the days and times the timer will start tracking time.
7. Starting project – this is the project activity will be logged into when the timer starts.

Hit Save to commit your changes.
