# Activity Time Tracker

**The Activity Time Tracker** (Clock In/Clock Out) allows you to track active working time inside the application. This article explains how time tracking works, how to enable it, and how to review tracked activity.

### Enabling the Time Tracker

The Activity Time Tracker supports two operating modes:

* **Automatic time tracking** - Time tracking starts automatically when a member begins working.
* **Manual time tracking** - Members control when to start time tracking.

#### Setting Up Automatic Time Tracking

To enable automatic time tracking for a role:

1. Open the **Management Panel**.
2. Go to the **Roles** tab.
3. Select the role you want to configure.
4. Toggle **Automatic Time Tracker** to **ON**.
5. Click **Save Changes.**

Once enabled, all members assigned to this role will have their active time tracked automatically.

#### Manual Time Tracking

If automatic tracking isn't enabled for a role, members can track time manually.

#### Starting and Managing a Section:

1. Hover over the top-right corner of the application.
2. Select one of the following actions:
3. **Start** — Begin time tracking or start a new session.
4. **Pause** — Temporarily pause the session (for example, during a break).
5. **Stop** — End the current session completely.

Important notes:

* Members can pause or stop sessions in both automatic and manual tracking modes.
* Use Pause for breaks.
* To continue after pausing or to begin a new session after stopping, click Start Tracking Time.

### How the Activity Tracker Works

The system monitors inactivity to ensure accurate time tracking. 

#### 10-Minute Inactivity Check

The first pop-up appears after **10 minutes of inactivity** and stays visible for **1 minute** with a countdown timer. If no action is taken during this minute, the session is automatically paused and a second pop-up appears.

#### 1-Hour Inactivity Timeout

When the session is paused, a second pop-up is displayed. You can:

* **Resume the session** — Continue tracking time.
* **Stop the session** — End time tracking.

If there is no response for 1 hour after the session is paused:

* The system automatically stops the session.
* A third pop-up appears.

#### Ending Session

The third pop-up confirms that the session has ended. This notification remains visible until you manually close it.

### Viewing Activity Logs

You can review tracked time for all members in the Chatter Metrics tab.

### Clocked Time Overview

The Clocked Time column displays the total active time and break (pause) time for each member.

To see a detailed breakdown of a session:

* Open **Chatter Metrics**
* Find the **Clocked Time** column
* Click the clock icon next to a member's name

This opens a detailed session timeline showing:

* **Date** - When the session occurred
* **Clocked Time** - Current session status (active, paused, or stopped)
* **Activity Time** - Time range of active work
* **Session chronology** - Start times, pauses, and stops throughout the day

#### Break Time Tracking

Time spent on **Pause** is recorded as break time.

Example: If you take breaks totaling 30 minutes, this time is shown separately and reflected in the Clocked Time statistics in Chatter Metrics.
