How to record Offline Time
RescueTime Premium users can record Offline Time activities in their reports. Offline Time includes activities like phone calls, in-person meetings, and reading offline materials.
There are two ways to enter offline time:
Offline Time Entry Page
Offline Time Pop-Up
Once your computer has gone idle for 5 or more minutes, you can be automatically prompted to enter offline activities.
Enable the Offline Time pop-up
- Visit the Enter Offline Time page.
- Select the Offline Time Settings tab.
- Under "Prompt to record offline time when you are away from your computer?" choose Enabled.
After you enable the Offline Time pop-up and once the computer has gone idle, a modal will pop up in the Assistant asking you what you have been doing since you were last active on your computer. The pop-up includes three configurable choices for offline activities, which you can easily customize on the Offline Time page. You can choose from one of those activities or click the X in the top-right corner if you don't want this time included in your reports.
Can I change when Offline Time is prompted?
Yes, you can change the time interval from the 5-minute default. Just select your frequency from the " Show the offline time pop up after" drop-down menu.
