Setting your work hours

Setting work hours helps you distinguish between your professional and personal time, giving you a clearer view of your productivity. By setting work hours, you can filter reports, track time more effectively, and gain insights into how you spend your time during and outside of work.

Customizing your work hours

By default, work hours are set to Monday–Friday, 8 AM–6 PM, based on a typical workday. However, you can customize them to fit your schedule:

• Navigate to Advanced Filters in the drop-down menu under your name
• Or go directly to this link

For the most useful insights, we recommend setting work hours that closely match your actual routine.

This short video walks you through the steps to customize your work hours.

How work hours are used

Reports and charts

• Productivity Reports: Reports for "By Day" and "By Hour" will display a grey background for time outside your work hours in the bar charts.
• Filters: You can apply work hours as a filter in reporting views to focus on relevant data.

Dashboard: Your Dashboard provides a side-by-side comparison of your work hours vs. non-work hours, helping you quickly assess your productivity trends.

Detailed Reports: For any specific activity, you can see whether most of the logged time occurred inside or outside work hours, offering deeper insights into how work-related and personal tasks impact your schedule.

Goals & Alerts: 

• You can set goals based on work hours, non-work hours, total logged time, or individual activities.
• Example: If you set a goal to limit distracting activities to less than 1 hour during work hours, you’ll still have the flexibility to browse social media after hours without affecting your productivity metrics.

When working with goals, only the selected schedule in the list is used for calculations. Your standard work hours schedule does not affect goal tracking, allowing for more flexibility.

How Work Hours affect “Back to Work” and “Recharge Time” in the Assistant

• The work hours schedule determines when you see the "Back to Work" button or "Recharge Time" messaging.
• If you're in Recharge Time and click the "Back to Work" button, activity during that time is added to your reports for that day only. This helps refine your reports by including moments where you extended work beyond your usual schedule.
