How Does The Desklog Time Tracking Work?

When you log into Desklog, the first thing you’ll see is the dashboard.It provides all the relevant data about your users, and you can easily filter this information based on your preferences.


You can choose to view data for the entire team, specific teams, or filter it by individual team members. This flexibility allows you to analyze the data in a way that best suits your needs.


Next, you’ll find the Work Report, which gives you detailed insights into your users’ performance. Here, you can view data on total working hours, productivity hours, and the total time spent on tasks. Additionally, you’ll also have access to the overall focus percentage, providing a complete overview of your team’s work efficiency.


On the right side of the dashboard, you’ll find the user count, which shows the status of each team member. You can easily see how many users are online, idle, present, or on leave. Below that, you’ll find the total Efficiency Rate and Activity Rate, giving you a quick overview of overall team performance and engagement.


As you scroll down, you’ll come across a graph displaying the total work hours for the last 7 days. This graph provides a clear comparison of total working time, total time spent on tasks, and total billable hours, allowing you to visually track your team’s productivity and performance over the past week.


On the side, you’ll see a list of users along with their individual time at work. Each user has their own personal graph, providing a view of their work hours and billable hours, making it easy to track their performance and progress.


As you scroll down, you’ll find the project details section. Here, a pie chart visually represents the total time spent on different projects. On the right side, you can see a list of project names along with the corresponding time spent on each one. Additionally, you’ll find a list of users and the time they spent on each project, giving you a clear breakdown of individual contributions.
