Live Dashboard
The Live Dashboard is the home screen where managers can monitor their entire team in real time from a single view. Who's online, who's AFK, who's on a break — all visible at a glance.
What is the Live Dashboard?
It's the main screen of the web admin panel. The page updates every few seconds via a socket connection — no manual refresh needed. Employee status, their active applications and live screenshots appear instantly.
The dashboard has two sections: an upper grid of online/active employee cards, and a lower list of employees who haven't logged in today. Each card shows that person's live status badge, a running work-time counter and the name of their current active application.
What Do the Status Badges Mean?
Desktop app is running and an active session is open. The employee is using the keyboard or mouse.
Idle time exceeding the configured AFK threshold has been detected. The employee is away from the keyboard.
Employee selected 'Break' in the AFK dialog. Counted as a normal break period.
'Meeting' was selected in the AFK dialog. Shown as meeting time in reports.
'Lunch' was selected in the AFK dialog.
'Client Call' was selected in the AFK dialog. Employee may be out of office.
Desktop app is closed or no active session. Shown in the offline list at the bottom.
What Can You Do on the Dashboard?
View an Employee Card
Each card shows the employee's full name, email address, status badge, total time worked today and the name of the app they currently have open. The coloured badge updates second by second.
Click the Live Screenshot
If the screenshot feature is enabled, a small preview appears on the card. Click it to view the full-size screenshot. If the label reads 'Privacy Protected', that employee's screen is intentionally blurred by the privacy policy (e.g. when a banking or messaging app is detected).
Send a Notification
Click the Send Notification button on an employee's card, type your message and send it. The message is delivered instantly to their desktop application. Useful for reminding late arrivals or employees who have been AFK for a long time.
Open the Session Summary
Click the Session Detail button in the bottom-right of a card. The panel that opens shows the session start time, total duration and screenshot count, plus Applications and URLs tabs showing where time was spent.
9 AM — A Manager's First Look
Sarah, a team lead at a software agency, opens the Live Dashboard as soon as she arrives at the office. Despite it being 9:05 AM, two of her twelve employees are not yet online. One shows an AFK badge — their computer is on but they're not at their desk.
Sarah clicks the late employee's card and sends a notification: "Please be logged in by 9 AM unless you have a meeting scheduled — just a reminder!" The message reaches the employee's desktop within seconds.
Around lunchtime Sarah clicks through to a session detail and notices one employee spent two hours on a music streaming site. She makes a note to discuss this in the next one-on-one.
Before everyone logs off she pulls the daily report — total hours worked, missing time and AFK reasons for the whole team displayed in a single table.

⚠️Frequently Asked Questions
- •Employee shows online but isn't working: If the app is open but is not sending updates, this can happen. Ask the employee to restart the desktop application.
- •Screenshot says "Privacy Protected": Sensitive windows such as WhatsApp or banking apps are automatically blurred. This is by design and cannot be overridden.
- •Notification wasn't delivered: If the employee's desktop app is closed, the notification cannot be sent at that moment. It will appear the next time the app is opened.
