My statistics shows only that computer. Setting the connection to offline defers data upload while tethering.

Agent footprint

  • CPU usage stays under 0.5%.
  • Memory use is around 50MB, with no effect even on demanding games.
  • It does not ask for the administrator rights that would let it alter critical parts of the computer.
  • Offline work is recorded and uploaded automatically once the connection returns.
03

Usage statistics

Usage of each installed computer, as statistics. A user sees their own statistics exactly as the administrator does.

Computer usage

Powered-on time and active time are shown separately, by day, week and month.

Computer usage screen

Depending on the administrator settings, a user can start and stop work manually.

Applications used

Which programs ran and for how long, summarised as usage by category.

Applications used screen

Categories are assigned under Program categories in the settings.

File usage

File usage broken down by category.

File usage by category

Counts are based on how many times each file was used.

File list

The names of the files used are recorded and listed.

File list screen

A user sees their own list exactly as the administrator does.

04

Work records

Activity and state during work hours.

Activity log

Work activity is logged automatically as a schedule.

Automatic activity log screen

Each task appears on the timeline with when it ran and for how long.

Network traffic

Traffic on the computer is recorded.

Network traffic screen

It can surface external attacks or internal data leakage.

Performance score

Performance is derived from work-related activity within work hours.

Performance score screen
Performance score screen

Three ratios are shown together: active time within work hours, work-related time within work hours, and work-related time within active time.

Screen capture

The state of the screen is captured at a set interval.

Capture gallery screen

The interval and the selective capture rules come from the settings, and shots can be filtered to one program.

05

Settings

Groups, the agent, work hours, capture and program categories.

Groups

Users can be grouped into teams or departments.

Group list screen

Sharing a group link with its manager lets them read the statistics of the people in that group.

Agent settings

Agent settings can be applied to the installed computers at once.

Agent settings screen

Whether users may start and stop work themselves is decided here.

Work style

The baseline work hours.

Work style settings screen

These hours are the basis for the usage and performance calculations.

Capture settings

Whether capture runs, and whether users may delete captured shots.

Capture settings screen

With capture switched off, no screenshots accumulate.

Capture exclusions

Register the programs and keywords that would expose a user’s privacy, and those programs, along with any window whose title contains a listed keyword, are never captured.

Capture exclusion keywords and programs
Capture exclusion keywords and programs

Programs must be registered by executable name. A keyword blocks capture for any program whose title contains it.

Program categories

Assign a category to each program by purpose. Statistics follow those assignments.

Program category settings screen

The agent registers the user’s programs automatically. Assigning the category afterwards is the administrator’s job.

06

Computer management

Information on the installed computers and the list of users.

Users and computers

Both the computer information and the user list can be reviewed.

User list and computer list screens
