Time tracking active indicator

Hello, I thought it would be a helpful feature for some sort of visible time tracking indication to be shown on the browser screen while time tracking is active. My time tries to make use of the time tracking feature and I feel it is a very helpful metric to keep track of to highlight parts of the work flows that are most time consuming; however, team mates often forget to turn off or switch the time tracking when a task is completed. Perhaps if the background of the screen changed color or a small unintrusive/moveable button with a high z-index was displayed while time tracking was active, people using the feature would be able to easily remember the tracking is on resulting in more accurate tracking. Thank you for reading, hope to see this come into fruition! Cheers!

Hey @josephxcii,

This is a great idea, i am voting for it.

My team also uses the time tracker and we often have to correct back times when we forget to turn off the tracker at the end of the day :slight_smile:

Cheers.

Hello @josephxcii!

Welcome to the community! I hope you like it here :slightly_smiling_face:

I will make sure to pass this to our team with @LaurentConroux’s vote as well so they can review it.

Thank you both for the feedback!

Cheers,
Matias

it will be also useful if there will be more visible - by whom the time tracker was switched ON ( we always switch off timers by mistake for our colleagues )

Hi @josephxcii have you looked at the clockify app in the monday.com app marketplace? It works with the free version of clockify and does exactly what you’re describing :smile:

@Matias.Monday @Renae-JTsCloud @LaurentConroux @well1985 @josephxcii
There are now additional smart features on the time tracking clock using Smart Timer and Team Tracking app which has the same look and feel as the native monday.com timer. It has a quick stop button on the group and auto stop of task change to try and elevate the problem you mention.

We had the same pain point with our service based business, there was so much the native time couldn’t do that we needed, so we got our dev to build a solution which we have now released to the monday.com marketplace.

We also built in the ability for the team to see LIVE who is recording time on what, this helps us to manage our remote team and re-delegate work as needed.

We have only recently launched so if there are any tweaks that would help it better suit your business feel free to add to the live chat and we will see if we can roll it out in the next update
