How to Use the Monitask Dashboard (Employees)

To start using the Monitask Dashboard, you’ll want to first visit Monitask.com and click the ‘Log In’ button in the top right corner.

Enter your email address and password and click the ‘Log In’ button below to enter the dashboard.

Once you’ve logged in, you will see a few options: Profile, Notes, Timeline, Reports, and Download.

In the ‘Profile’ section, you’ll see a dropdown menu with options to ‘Edit Profile’, ‘Change Password‘, and ‘Log Out’.

In ‘Edit Profile’, you can edit your first name, last name, time zone, and language.

To change your password, you can either click on the ‘Change Password’ tab or select the ‘Security’ tab within the account settings area. To change your password, simply enter your current password, enter your new password twice, and click on the ‘Save’ button.

The ‘Notes’ section gives you the ability to save small memos and comment on what you are currently working on. In this area, you’ll see which projects you are currently working on, notes associated with each project, and when you last worked on the project. Even after you’ve written a note, you can go back and edit it or delete it later. To edit a note, click on the gear icon. In this area, you’ll be able to edit the note and click ‘save’ to save your changes. To delete a note completely, click on the red trash can icon.

‘Notes’ also gives you the option to sort all of your notes by project and by active or deleted status. Even after you’ve deleted a note, it will still be available in the ‘Deleted’ tab for future access. To bring it back to the Active status, click on the circular arrow icon to restore it.

The ‘Timeline’ tab gives you an overview of all the time that you have recorded in the Monitask Desktop app and displays your screenshots and activity. Time is recorded in 10-minute slots and can be deleted by checking the box below the screenshot.

To learn more about deleting screenshots and time, please visit the following guide.

By default, time recorded in the Timeline will be displayed for today’s date. To change the date, either click on the forward and backward arrows or select the date from the current month. You can also click on the calendar icon to pull up a calendar view and select a specific date.

In the top right corner, you will see the ‘Add Manual Time’ button, if it has been enabled by your employer. This feature allows you to add time to your timesheet that was not previously recorded on your computer. You might use the manual time function if you’re experiencing technical issues or if the work you completed was done offline. However, adding manual time still requires approval from a manager and will have to be reviewed first.

Under the ‘Reports’ tab, you’ll see options for Accounting Summary and Monthly Stats.

The Accounting Summary can be filtered by date and by projects. You can either filter information by the week, month, or by custom parameters. This gives you an overview of how many hours you have worked within a given period of time and calculates a total on the right-hand side.

The Monthly Stats section displays recorded hours in a monthly calendar format and also provides both weekly and monthly totals on the right-hand side. Using the ‘Date’ section, you can choose to view the current month, past month, or set custom parameters. To show activity, click on the box below “Show Activity”.

The ‘More Actions’ tab gives you the ability to filter by project and analyze time spent on that specific task.

Finally, the Download tab gives you access to the download page to the most recent version of our desktop application. On our download page, you will see download links for both the Windows and Mac versions of the Monitask Desktop app.
