AutoTrack is a feature in the TrackingTime desktop application that records user activity on the computer. It's like an assistant that tracks time, so you don't have to! This information is only visible to the user, and it will not be shared with anyone else. It will not leave your computer, as it's saved locally to guarantee 100% privacy.
The information registered here serves to remind the user what they have been working on. It will help them load their hours in a more precise way, and without the need to load them instantly or to track time in real time.
Overview
The AutoTrack section contains:
Header: select a day using the Date picker, or use the Today button to go back to today's activity. Use the Refresh button to update the information displayed. You can also choose between large and compact display size.
Sidebar: shows a list of the tasks worked on, for the selected day.
Main pane: visualize all the computer activity for the selected day.

How to view your AutoTrack information:

⚠️ Autotrack is not intended to register time entries on its own. It registers your activity while working with your computer with Autotrack enabled, recording the applications' usage.
Having said so, this information can only be accessed by the user who enabled it, and it will not be listed on reports. Other users (not even the workspace admins) will not be able to access your Autotrack activity unless you manually add them as time entries.
