If you use Screenshot Monitor, on a dashboard you would immediately see time (and money spent) not only today, but yesterday, this week, this month for each employee. (Later I’ve realized that the only way to get to some of it is by running reports – bummer). And at this point I have no idea how to get to it. I want to see what the employees were working on today, how much time and money they have spend on a particular task, project and client. ![]() It shows your employees, a green/yellow/red dot next to a name to indicate if a person is currently working (I like it) and not that useful graph on when were they working today, but not much else.

On the bottom right it shows you the time spent on each task. The checkbox next to the task marks it as done. Or click on one of the tasks in the list to make that tasks current and work on it. You type the task and optionally select a project you are working on, click Go and it starts time tracking (and optionally screenshot monitoring).
