Settings: Idle and timeout

Change these settings if you want to track idle time for your staff or log out if inactive for a time period. After you set these it will reflect in the desktop timer.

1. Show break message in desktop timer if inactive for 10 minutes

If you set this, then the desktop timer will display a message if the employee is idle for 10 minutes

2. Logout of desktop timer if inactive for 15 minutes

If you set this, then the desktop timer will log out the employee after 15 minutes and they will have to login again to start tracking time and monitor as well. The time for this setting has to be more than the show break message.

Employee monitoring works only after an employee logs into the desktop timer application and stops after the employee logs out.
