What do risk reports measure?

A report counts tracked minutes inside a moving window and compares the total with a threshold. It reads no screenshots and no content.

Risk reports live in two places. Organization settings holds the rules; the Overview screen lists the people a rule currently matches. Nothing is stored as a flag against a person: the list is recalculated every time the card is opened.

What a condition counts

Worktivity records one row per tracked minute, and each row carries an activity status and a productivity label. A condition adds up those rows and compares the total with a threshold:

  • Activity: Working, On break, Idle. Leaving the field empty counts all three, which means empty is the wide setting, not the narrow one.
  • Productivity: Productive, Neutral, Unproductive. Empty again counts all of them.
  • Time window: counted backwards from the moment the report runs, not from the start of the working day.
  • Threshold: the amount of time it takes to match, either over or under.

A report can hold up to three conditions and they are joined with and, not or. Somebody appears only when every condition is true at the same time. An organization can define up to ten reports.

What it does not read

A condition sees minute totals grouped by status and productivity label. It does not open screenshots, it does not read window titles and it does not read text. The numbers behind a report are the same ones already visible on the timesheet, the collection list has not grown for this feature.

A report says a total crossed a line. It does not say why, and a meeting, a phone call or a day spent on paper all look the same to it.

Two limits worth knowing

  • People named under Excluded employees never appear in that report.
  • Someone who recorded nothing at all inside the window is not listed, not even by an under-the-threshold condition. The total is built from the minutes that exist, so a person with no minutes has no total to compare.

Creating a report

  1. Open the workspace name at the top of the sidebar, choose Workspace settings, then the Risk users tab.
  2. Press New report and give it a name. The name is what appears above the matching people on Overview.
  3. Set the activity, the productivity, the direction, the threshold and the window. The dialog shows the finished sentence as you type.
  4. Add up to two more conditions if you need them, choose anyone to exclude, then save.

A report with no conditions is accepted by the server but never matches anyone; the table marks such a row.

Who can use it

All five endpoints behind this feature are limited to owners and co-owners. Managers do not see the section on Overview and cannot open the tab. Reading the results is covered in what the Overview and Team screens show.
