Insightful enables users to log and track any work-related activities that happen offline, or are not computer-based into your Dashboard.

This way, the time gaps within the Shifts can be filled in and Idle time caused by performing different offline tasks can be minimized (e.g. an on-site meeting, a phone call, a brainstorming session, etc.).

How to manually add time?

Employees, as well as Admins and Managers, can enter time manually from their respective Dashboards. Future updates will allow Manual Time Entries from the widget for Employees as well.

Manual Time Entries can be added by clicking on the Add Manual Time button present throughout the Dashboard:

  • Employees → Employee page → Timesheets tab

  • Employees → Employee page → Projects → Project Task

  • Time and Attendance → Manual Time tab

Note: Only employees/users with permission to add manual time will have the Add Manual Time button available.

Once the Manual Time Entry is submitted, it will be sent to a relevant Admin / Manager for approval. In case the Admin / Manager has added the Manual Time Entry for an Employee from their Scope, it will be approved automatically.
