How to invite employees and set up new devices

πŸ‘‰ Learn more about the difference between the company and personal computer installation types.


​Teams & Productivity Definitions

With employee devices now logging data to Insightful, it's time to categorize that data using Insightful Productivity Labels which are assigned for the entire Organization, but can be overridden on Team-level.
​


​Tracking & Measuring Productivity

Insightful is packed with reporting and helpful views to give you fast and easy insights into staff productivity and time and attendance.

πŸ‘‰ Good to know - You can also choose to automatically receive productivity reports in your inbox.


​Project and Task Management

If you want to go even further with your time analysis, Insightful Projects & Tasks allows you to associate time directly with specific projects/tasks that employees are working on.
