- Each Space grouping displays a cumulative total time for that Space.
.
- Worker Tab
- Provides per-worker insights beyond today.
- Tracks task start, pause, idle, and completion details.
- Helps managers identify bottlenecks and patterns in how time is spent.
- Productivity Reports
- Allows exporting structured data for audits, reviews, and analysis.
- Helps in trend analysis and resource planning.
.
.
- Task Status Indicators
- Show if a worker is active, paused, idle, or on break.

These components combine to create a full visibility suite for both short-term oversight and long-term analysis.

🛠️ Best Practices #
Here are actionable practices to get the most from the Productivity Panel:
For the Workday Tab #
- Review each worker’s current-day log at least once per shift.
- Use Space-level cumulative totals to identify which projects consumed the most effort.
- Click entries to open conversations for deeper context when anomalies appear.
- Pair logs with Worker Tab history to compare today vs. long-term patterns.
For the Worker Tab #
- Check pause and idle times to identify potential blockers or inefficiencies.
- Use patterns (frequent pauses, long idle times) as coaching opportunities.
- Recognize workers who maintain strong active time and completion rates.
For Reports #
- Schedule regular exports (daily, weekly, or monthly) depending on reporting needs.
- Compare exported data with Workday Tab observations to validate trends.
- Share summaries with leadership for strategic decision-making.
For Status Indicators #
- Use color codes as quick flags but always investigate before concluding.
- Idle states may indicate blockers, technical issues, or real downtime — context matters.
- Celebrate consistent active time to reinforce positive behavior.
Embedding these practices in your daily routine ensures the Productivity Panel is not just observed but leveraged for real organizational improvements.
