Introducing the Productivity Dashboard

From today, all Time Doctor users should start to see the new Productivity Dashboard. From this screen you can quickly view the stats for your entire workforce. Select any team member from the control bar on the right hand side of the page and view all of  the following information for each of your team members…

Time Doctor is not only a task management tool that tracks time spent on your tasks, it’s also a valuable productivity tool which can help you see how any worker spends their time on the computer. Time spent browsing, checking email, and the types of software people use on a day-to-day basis is all available at your finger tips. This is just one of many cool new features we’ll be rolling out in the coming weeks.

Feel free to try out our BETA release by downloading the software here


Time Doctor Screenshot Monitoring Relaunched

We’ve just re-thought, re-built and completely redesigned the online screenshots feature. You can now view any range of screenshots straight from the web by accessing the “Screenshots” tab in the dash. Select any date range, and anyone in your team and view up to 50 screen captures on one page.

If you see something you don’t like the look of you can easily click and view a more detailed view. Check out the new interface below, or give it a test run yourself and let us know what you think.


Remember, screen monitoring is just one way Time Doctor helps a team to be more productive. It’s also completely optional and some businesses may not need to use this type of monitoring to get the most out of Time Doctor.

Stay tuned for more exciting features; The new desktop Task Manager is a few weeks away, but is feature packed, elegant and will revolutionize the way you think about project management software.


A New Dashboard for Time Doctor Users

From today you should start seeing the new Time Doctor Dashboard in your account. If you don’t see it live in the next few days please contact our support team.

Dashboard Design

So what’s new?
The biggest change is the ability to view and assign tasks for each of your team members. Select a team member and you can easily view the hours worked, the current top priorities and any recently completed tasks (as well as the task they are currently working on).

If you have a new task, or a change to an existing task, you can now make changes from the dashboard which will update each team members desktop Task Manager. Assigning tasks directly like this has many advantages – primarily that it saves time by avoiding email. As we roll out new design features for the desktop app, users will be able to see when new tasks have been assigned and by who.

From the new dashboard, managers can also see which team members are online, who’s on a break and also view and edit the tasks for users who aren’t online (tasks will sync with the server as soon as they start work).

This is just one of many new features we’ll be launching in the next few months. Next up, time tracking for clients and projects, and a time usage tab which will show you exactly how your staff are spending time on the computer.
