Introduction

Time Tracker is a powerful Add-On designed to monitor and manage employee work activities through automated screenshot capture and time logging. The system allows companies to create projects with assigned tasks, while users can track their work time with detailed records and visual proof through periodic screenshots. The Add-On includes both a web-based management interface and a desktop application for real-time tracking, providing complete visibility into work activities and productivity.

How to Install the Add-On?

To Set Up the Time Tracker Add-On, you can follow this link: Setup Add-On.

Note: This Add-On is dependent on the Project Add-On, so you need to activate it first.

Easy Setup Process

• The Time Tracker system requires the Project section as a parent Add-On to function properly. Companies must first create projects and assign users before time tracking can begin.
• After installing the Time Tracker Add-On, you will find a setup.txt file that contains the Time Tracker Application download link and complete setup instructions for installing the tracker application on user systems. The application is just for Ubuntu and Windows; it is not for IOS.
• If screenshots are not being captured while the tracker is running, install the required ImageMagick library. For Ubuntu Linux systems, run the command “sudo apt install imagemagick” in the terminal. For Windows systems, download and install ImageMagick from the official website at https://imagemagick.org/script/download.php#windows.

How to use the Time Tracker Add-On?

System Settings

• After purchasing and installing the Time Tracker Add-On, go to the sidebar of your dashboard and search for it to start using it.
• To configure the Time Tracker system, navigate to the System Settings section. Here you can set up two important settings for the entire Add-On.
• First, configure the App Site URL by copying and entering the URL that users will need to access when logging into the Time Tracker Application on their systems. This ensures all users connect to the correct server.
• Next, set the Tracking Interval by defining the period in minutes for automatic screenshot capture once the tracker is started. This determines how frequently the system will take screenshots during active tracking sessions.

Time Tracker Management

• To view all tracking records, access the Time Tracker section, which displays a detailed list of all tracking sessions. The list page shows all tracker records in a table format with columns including Name, Project, Task, Start Time, End Time, Total Time, and Action.
• The name column shows the text entered when the tracking session was started. The Project column displays the name of the associated project, while the Task column shows the specific task being tracked. The Start Time and End Time columns show when the tracker was activated and stopped, respectively.
• The Total Time column calculates the duration between start and end times automatically. In the Action column, you can perform two main functions: View Screenshot Images and Delete.

• When you click “View Screenshot Images” in the Action column, the system displays all screenshots that were captured during that specific tracking session based on the interval set in System Settings. Each screenshot can be deleted as needed while viewing them.
• When you click “Delete” in the Action column, it removes the entire tracker session record along with all associated screenshots, permanently, from the system.

Workflow Explanation

• The typical workflow starts when a company creates a project with multiple tasks and assigns users to it. When assigned users log into the Time Tracker Application, they see their assigned tasks from the project.
• Users enter a description and start the tracker, which creates a new record in the Time Tracker section. Screenshots are then captured automatically at the intervals set in System Settings and can be viewed or deleted through the View Screenshot Images section.
