Introduction

Two key features—Timeline and App Usage—offer deep insights into work activities, application usage, and time distribution. These tools ensure efficient time management and resource allocation while maintaining a balance between productivity and user privacy.

Timeline Feature Overview

The Timeline feature offers a visual representation of an employee’s workday, categorizing time into different segments:

  • Total Time Spent: Overall logged-in time during the work session.

  • Active Time: Duration spent actively working on tasks.

  • Idle Time: Time when the system detects no activity.

  • Productive Hours: Time spent on productive applications and tasks.

  • Unproductive Hours: Time spent on non-work-related activities.

  • Neutral Hours: Time spent on applications classified as neither productive nor unproductive.

  • Total Visited Apps: Number of applications used during the session.

  • Total Visited URLs: Number of websites visited.

This breakdown allows employers and employees to analyze time management effectively and make necessary improvements.

App Usage Tracking

The App Usage feature in Track Pilots provides precise monitoring of software and web applications used throughout the workday. Key functionalities include:

  • Individual and Team Monitoring: Allows users to filter data by selecting specific members or teams.

  • Detailed Time Tracking: Displays exact durations for each application and website accessed.

  • Categorized Usage Data: Labels applications as Productive, Neutral, or Unproductive based on predefined settings.

  • Application Insights: Lists frequently used apps, along with their usage duration and purpose.

For instance, if an employee spends 4 hours on a coding tool, it will be marked as productive, while social media usage may be categorized as unproductive. This data helps businesses identify work patterns, minimize distractions, and enhance efficiency.

Benefits of Timeline & App Usage Features

  1. Boosts Productivity: Identifies time-wasting activities and improves focus.

  2. Encourages Accountability: Employees can track their own usage and optimize their workflow.

  3. Data-Driven Decision Making: Managers can allocate tasks based on app usage insights.

  4. Work-Life Balance Monitoring: Helps prevent overworking and burnout.

Conclusion

The Timeline and App Usage features in Track Pilots provide businesses with powerful insights into employee work habits. By analyzing time spent on different tasks and applications, organizations can enhance productivity, ensure accountability, and optimize workflow efficiency. Whether you're an employer tracking team performance or an employee improving time management, these features play a crucial role in workplace success.
