Application Visibility Modes
Besides this, you can also decide whether your employees will or will not see if Insightful is active on their devices by choosing Visible or Stealth mode permitting or denying Insightful user interface (icon or a widget) to be active on the computer.
Visibility:
Visible tracker: Employees will see Insightful app icon on their computers.
Stealth tracker: Tracker will be hidden on employees computers.
Automatic tracking scenario, restriction of clock in / clock out buttons and option to have Insightful run in Stealth mode are available with company computer installation option only. Moreover, when each user logs onto a company computer for the first time Insightful will register them as an Employee. For more detail on that process please read this article.
When you finish with these settings, you can click Next step.
Employee Attendance Tracking Options
How you set up the Attendance tracking of your employees depends on whether you want to do it for all your employees or for one individual or for few employees, but also on how flexible you need Insightful to be.
When selecting Attendance tracking settings that all employees will share - you can choose to permit employees to Clock in and Clock out themselves to start or stop Insightful logging data by setting one of the Manual Attendance Tracking Scenarios: Manual or Project based.
When you are on Company Computers - Visible tracker, you can set your desired tracking scenario choosing from:
Unlimited
Fixed
Network Based
VPN based
Manual Clock in
Project Based
There are a lot of options here and we recommend learning more on each with our full guide on the different Time and Attendance scenarios.
If you choose Unlimited or Fixed, this step also includes a Select Working Days section where you tick the days of the week your employees work. Days that aren't selected (for example, Saturday and Sunday) won't have working time expectations, so no data will be shown for them in reports.
When you finish with these settings, you can click Next step.
Or you can choose to enable Insightful's Automatic Attendance Tracking Scenario removing that extra step of clocking in and clocking out from your employee's daily tasks.
Employees with Insightful running in Stealth mode on their devices can only have Automatic Attendance Tracking Scenario enabled.
