Activity Monitor can help you better understand what your team is working on even if they are working remotely. To use Activity Monitor you’ll need to set up a team, add and configure team members and have each member set up their computer. Here’s how.
Creating a Team
- From the Bridge dashboard, double click Activity Monitor
- Click Teams
- Click Add Activity Monitor Team
- Name the Team
- Select Team Member(s) and Manager(s)
- Click Create Team
- Click Individual Settings
- Select and edit the Team Members
- Enable screenshots and determine how often they should be recorded
(Tip: 300 seconds = 5 minutes; 600 seconds = 10 minutes. Setting shorter times are not recommended and will slow your system down.) - Optionally, set a pay rate that can be used for payroll
Installing Bridge Desktop Software
Once the Team settings are configured, your Team Members will need to download and install the “Bridge Desktop” application. The instructions to install Bridge Desktop are under Getting Started on this page.
Viewing Team Member Activity
Now that your team is set up and they each have the Bridge Desktop software installed, you can view screenshots of their activity taken according to the intervals you specified.
- Click My Team
- Click on an individual Team Member to view their activity
- Click on a date to see their activity (screenshots) for that date
- Click on an individual screenshot to view larger
