Question 10

What is an activity level and how is it calculated?

Accepted Answer

Activity level tracking is a feature designed to keep track of user activity based on the keyboard usage and mouse movements. Monitask is not a spying tool, so it does not record the actual keys that were pressed. Instead, Monitask collects activity of a user and how active they were working within each 10 minute period. If there was no mouse our keyboard usage – the time will not be counted as working. A good activity level to is anything over 50%.

Question 11

Can you auto-start screenshot monitoring?

Accepted Answer

In order to protect our users and their privacy Monitask starts monitoring only when employees manually clock in and stops as soon as they clock out.

Question 12

What if I work with confidential information?

Accepted Answer

Monitask does not keep track of sensitive information – no passwords or documents are stored on Monitask’s servers. At the same time, passwords or private information themselves do not fall under the radar of Monitask either – the service is careful about private data.

Question 13

Can the app be hidden on employees’ computers?

Accepted Answer

Monitask is an employee productivity tool, not a spying tool. You cannot run Monitask or auto-start screenshot monitoring without the users permission. The user needs to press the start button in order to start time tracking.
