How do I start and stop my shift?

One button starts the shift and one ends it, both on the Track tab of the desktop app. Everything in between is recorded a minute at a time.

Clock in

1. Open the desktop app and stay on Track.
2. Press Clock in.
3. The first time, accept the notice that lists what your organization collects. The first day explains it.

The large counter is today's total. If your organization set a daily target, the bar underneath measures against it and the card says how much of it is done.

If your organization switched on automatic clock-in, the app starts the shift as soon as it opens. For that to help, Worktivity has to be among the startup applications of the computer.

Breaks

Take a break stops the work counter and starts a break counter. A break minute is still a record: it carries the break status, no screenshot and no application name. Resume work switches back.

Five minutes into a break the app asks whether the break is still on. Answering that you are working resumes the shift, and snoozing pushes the question fifteen minutes. Each break gets its own question; a decision made during the last one is not carried over.

Clock out

Clock out closes the day. Below the daily target the app asks first, and tells you how many records are still waiting to be uploaded; you can return to work from that question.

Closing the window while the timer runs asks the same thing in another shape: Clock out and quit or Keep working. Signing out from Settings closes the shift without a second question. Switching to another organization inside the app also ends it.

When a shift will not start

• The subscription has run out. The app refuses the clock-in and says whether you or your account holder has to renew it.
• The collection notice was cancelled. Nothing is collected and the shift does not begin.

If you forget to clock out

There is no automatic clock-out. A shift left open keeps recording while the computer is awake; while the screen is locked no second is counted and no minute is sent. Hours that never made it into a shift are added afterwards as a manual time entry, and adding hours you forgot to track covers that form.
