Step 5

 

Click on the icon and select a project from the dropdown menu. After you have selected a project, then the Hubstaff icon will turn green which signifies that time is actively tracking.

IMPORTANT: If you’re using OSX Catalina, you’ll need to allow special permissions for Hubstaff to be able to record screenshots, as well as application and URL activity. Click here to learn more.

Your manager has set up projects in Hubstaff and given you access to a certain number (or all) of those projects. When you start the client and log in, you’ll be presented with any number of projects to select. You should always select the project that you are currently working on, as these projects will be reflected in your reports in the Hubstaff web interface.

At this point, you should be able to track time for any project that you are authorized to work on by your manager. It may be a good idea to inform your manager that you have successfully installed and activated your Hubstaff client so they can confirm that everything is working correctly.

The “Check for updates” option will be grayed out if your organization is currently managed with enterprise deployment. Please contact your system administrator to install updates.
