Basic Concepts 🔗

Active Range 🔗


The active range time is calculated based on the start and end times of activity detected by Time@Work (first event and last event of the day). Generally, the first event of the day corresponds to turning on the PC + login and the last event to turning off the PC.


Activity 🔗


“Activity” is the time spent interacting with the computer (online time) or away from it and manually reported through idle tracking (offline time).


Online Activity 🔗


Activity time that occurs on the computer; that is, actual activity. Online activity data is collected automatically and almost in real time, allowing for a completely objective analysis.


Offline Activity (away from the PC) 🔗


As soon as users stop interacting with the PC, Time@Work detects that a break has started and when the user returns to their device and starts activity (presses a key or moves the mouse), a pop-up window appears with 2 options to choose from: Work and Personal. When the "Work" option is selected, the time is added to the activity, and when "Personal" is selected, it is not.


Expected 🔗


This is the expected activity for a work group. This information should be properly configured by the administrator or the person responsible for that group. For example, in the accounting department, there may be employees who work 8 hours while others only 4 hours. Therefore, we will create two sub-groups:

  • Full-time accounting with an expected 8h
  • Part-time accounting with an expected 4h

Average time per activity 🔗


It is a concept that represents the employee's concentration capacity. It shows the average time an employee has remained uninterrupted in one application without switching to another.
