Time & Activity

The Time & Activity page provides a consolidated, data-driven view of how time is spent across your organization and how actively team members are working during that time. This page is designed to help managers and organization owners quickly understand work volume, productivity trends, and engagement levels within a selected period.

By combining worked hours with activity percentages, the Time & Activity page offers deeper insight than simple time tracking. It allows you to analyze not only how long work was done, but also how effectively that time was used.

Overview of Filters & Widgets

The Time & Activity page starts with a powerful set of filters and summary widgets designed to give you an instant, high-level understanding of work patterns before you dive into detailed data.

Filters (Top Control Panel)
  • Date Range Filter
    Select a specific time period (e.g., custom range, last few days, weeks, or months). All widgets and list data below update instantly based on the selected date range.
  • Member Filter
    Choose All Members or filter the data for a specific team member. This helps you analyze individual productivity or compare team-wide performance.
  • Group By Selector
    Decides how data is organized in the list (e.g., grouped by date and member). This controls the structure of the expandable list below.
  • Export Action
    Allows exporting the currently filtered data (PDF & CSV) for reporting or external analysis.
Summary Widgets (Key Metrics)
  • Total Worked Time
    Shows the total accumulated working hours within the selected date range and member scope.
  • Average Activity
    Represents the average activity percentage, calculated from keyboard and mouse activity during tracked time.
  • Active Members
    Displays how many members were actively tracked within the selected period.
  • Average Hours per Member
    Calculates the average working time per active member, helping identify workload distribution.

Overview of the Expandable List

The Expandable List is the core component of the Time & Activity page. It is designed to present time tracking and activity data in a clear, drill-down hierarchy, allowing you to move from a high-level summary to detailed insights with minimal effort.

Default Structure (Grouped by Date)

By default, the list is grouped by Date, creating a three-level data hierarchy:

  • Date (Parent Level)
  • Member (Second Level)
  • Project (Third Level)
This structure helps you progressively explore how time is distributed across the organization.
Date Level (Parent Row)
  • Each date row represents the total tracked data for that specific day.
  • It shows:
    • Total Time (hh:mm) worked on that day
    • Average Activity (%) for all members combined
  • Clicking on a date row expands it to reveal the list of members who tracked time on that date.
Purpose:
Provides a daily snapshot of overall productivity and engagement.
Member Level (Second Layer)
  • Under each expanded date, you'll see individual member rows.
  • Each member row displays:
    • Total time worked by that member on the selected date
    • The member's average activity percentage
  • Clicking on a member row expands it further to show project-level details.
Purpose:
Helps managers and organizers compare individual contributions within a specific day.
Project Level (Third Layer)
  • This is the most detailed level of the list.
  • It shows:
    • Each project the member worked on
    • Time spent on that project
    • Activity percentage specific to that project
  • This level answers where and how a member’s time was spent.
Purpose:
Enables deep analysis of project engagement and workload distribution.

Group By Feature

The Group By feature allows you to change how time and activity data is organized in the expandable list, helping you analyze work patterns from different perspectives. This feature is especially useful when reviewing large datasets across multiple members and dates.

Group by Date (Default)

This is the default view when you open the Time & Activity page.

By default, the list is grouped by Date, creating a three-level data hierarchy:

  • Date (Parent Level)
  • Member (Second Level)
  • Project (Third Level)
Key Notes:
  • Expanding a date row shows all members who worked on that day.
  • Expanding a member row then shows the list of projects worked on by that member for the selected date.
  • Each level displays total tracked time and average activity percentage, providing a clear daily breakdown.
Best for:
  • Daily productivity reviews.
  • Comparing team performance day by day.
  • Understanding how work was distributed on a specific date.
Group by Member

When switched to Group by Member, the list reorganizes itself to focus on individual contributors.

The list grouped by Member, creating a three-level data hierarchy:

  • Member (Parent Level)
  • Date (Second Level)
  • Project (Third Level)
Key Notes:
  • The list is first grouped by member.
  • Expanding a member row shows all dates on which the member tracked time.
  • Expanding a date row reveals the projects worked on by that member on that specific date.
  • Time and activity metrics are recalculated and shown at each level for accurate insights.
Best for:
  • Individual performance analysis.
  • Reviewing a specific member's work history.
  • Comparing workload distribution across dates for one member.

The Group By feature gives you flexible control over how you view time and activity data, allowing you to switch seamlessly between date-centric and member-centric analysis based on your reporting needs.

Export to PDF & CSV

The Export feature in the Time & Activity page allows you to download reports in a clean, shareable format for offline review, audits, or client reporting. TimoDesk supports exporting data in both PDF and CSV formats, giving you flexibility based on how you plan to use the data.

When you click the Export button, a dropdown appears with two format options: PDF and CSV. After selecting a format, a confirmation popup is displayed where you can choose how much detail you want to include in the export.

You can export the report in two ways:

  • Export with collapsed data:
    This option exports only the top-level summary data based on the current grouping (Date or Member). It is ideal for high-level reporting where you want totals and averages without deeper breakdowns.
  • Export with expanded data:
    This option includes all expanded levels of the list. Depending on the selected group-by mode, the export may contain detailed hierarchies such as Date → Member → Project or Member → Date → Project. This is best suited for detailed analysis, internal reviews, or compliance documentation.

The exported file respects the currently applied date range, member filter, and group-by setting, ensuring the downloaded report matches exactly what you see on screen. Once you confirm the export option and click Download, the file is generated and saved to your device.


This flexible export system ensures that both summary-level insights and deep activity details can be shared easily, without needing any manual data preparation.
