Setting up your Team

You can configure your team under your Team settings.

Finding your team settings

You can find your organization settings under the Tools icon in Your Team

Your Team name

You can update your team's name in Team Settings under Details. Your team name should be something that the members of your team recognize—this name will be used in member invitations and some of your reports.

Notifications for signups

You can choose to be notified when a new member joins your team. Just add your email in the "Notification email address" field under Details in Team Settings. You can leave it blank if you do not want to receive notifications.

Allowing/Disallowing new signups

By default, your team can admit new members. If you need to stop accepting new members, you can freeze signups and no one new will be able to join your team. Please note that this will also apply to any outstanding invitations. To accept new members again, select Yes, allow new members.

Choosing to allow group reports

By default, RescueTime for Teams includes aggregate, high-level reporting for your team. If you would like to disable this feature, you may do so under Tracking Settings in your Team Settings. You can toggle group reports on and off.

Disabling group reporting is a good option if your goal is to give the members of your team the personal productivity tools in RescueTime Premium.

Setting up Key Tools

With group reporting enabled, you can choose a select group of "key tools" to include in the group reports. These should be the important tools that your team uses on a daily basis. You can configure key tools by navigating in Tracking Settings. To add a new key tool, click Add a new key tool at the bottom of the page. 

You will be able to select from a list of productive activities that you have logged. To quickly configure key tools, see the best practices for organization owners in the onboarding section.
