Insights page

Let’s break down the insights page per section.

Highlights

The top section includes a snapshot of your team’s productivity for ease of access to critical metrics. This includes the following:

1. Settings – allow you to define productive/unproductive URLs.
2. Date picker – select the date range for the data you wish to view.
3. Member selection filter – choose which members data you need to view.
4. Time worked – shows the total tracked time based on the date range.
5. Productivity – the percentage of productive apps and URLs over total time spent.
   1. Example: An employee worked for 10 hours. Of that time, 30 minutes was added manually, the user was on unproductive apps/URLs for a total of 45 minutes. Their productivity score would be 87%, with this breakdown:
      • 87% Productive
      • 8% Unproductive
      • 5% Unclassified
6. Activity – the percentage of keyboard/mouse activity against total time tracked.
7. To-dos completed – number of tasks completed within the selected date range.
8. Achievements – achievement badges earned within the date range.
