Activity & Screenshots

Review and Remove Screenshots

Review screenshot galleries and private-storage placeholders, then safely remove a complete ten-minute slot when its time and images should be deleted.

Can I remove only one screenshot from Today?

No. Today currently provides a slot-level Delete action only in the employee view, shown as Employee in ZMorning. Confirming it removes the complete ten-minute slot, its recorded time, all minute activity rows, and every screenshot attached to that slot. Review the wider effect before treating it as an image-removal action.

Find screenshot records on Today

  1. 1

    Open Today

    Use the web dashboard navigation and select Today.

  2. 2

    Choose the employee when available

    In the manager view, shown as Client in ZMorning, select or search for the employee. The employee view, shown as Employee in ZMorning, is fixed to the signed-in employee.

  3. 3

    Select the work date

    Use the date field or arrow buttons to load the day containing the capture.

  4. 4

    Find the ten-minute slot

    A slot with a regular stored image shows a thumbnail. A slot whose images all use private external storage shows a Dropbox or Google Drive placeholder.

  5. 5

    Select the slot card

    A screenshot-bearing slot opens the detail modal. A slot without screenshots does not currently open it.

Review the gallery with its work context

Main image area
Shows the selected regular-storage screenshot or a private-provider placeholder.
Gallery thumbnails
Switch among screenshot records attached to the slot, including separate images from an all-monitor capture.
Tracked date and hour range
Identify the selected workday and the clock hour containing the slot. The displayed hour total counts every slot in that hour.

Activity table
Lists available per-minute keyboard and mouse counts for the same slot and shows its green and gray activity segments.

Understand previews and private-storage placeholders

ZMorning default storage

Regular image preview

Today can use the image as the slot thumbnail, the selected gallery image, and a gallery thumbnail.

Dropbox or Google Drive

Provider placeholder

Today identifies where the record was saved but does not show that private file as a regular image preview.

Remove a screenshot-bearing slot

The current removal workflow is available only in the employee view, shown as Employee in ZMorning.

  1. Switch to the employee view, shown as Employee in ZMorning.
  2. Open Today and select the date containing the screenshot.
  3. Find the ten-minute slot card. Close the gallery first if it is open.
  4. Select Delete on the slot card.
  5. Read the confirmation: the slot, activity records, and screenshots will all be permanently deleted.
  6. Select Delete only if the complete ten-minute record should be removed.
  7. Wait for Today to refresh its slot cards and summary totals.

Understand what successful slot deletion changes

Time

Ten minutes are removed

The slot no longer contributes to Today, weekly time, reports, estimated earnings, or billing calculations.

Activity

Minute rows are removed

Every keyboard and mouse record attached to the slot is deleted with it.

Screenshots

All slot records are removed

Every screenshot database record attached to that slot disappears from ZMorning, not only the image that was selected in the gallery.

Distinguish ZMorning records from external files

Default S3 storage

ZMorning attempts object deletion

Before removing the slot records, the deletion workflow resolves and deletes each recognized S3 screenshot object. If that required step fails, the overall request reports a failure.

Dropbox or Google Drive

External object is skipped

The current helper does not delete provider files. ZMorning removes its slot and screenshot records, but the external object can remain in Dropbox or Google Drive.

  1. Confirm whether the slot used Dropbox or Google Drive before deletion.
  2. Delete the slot from ZMorning only when the time record should also disappear.
  3. Open the connected provider separately when its file must be removed.
  4. Follow the organization's retention, access, and recovery policy for provider-side deletion.

Troubleshoot screenshot review and removal

Clicking the slot does nothing
The current detail modal opens only for slots containing screenshot records. Confirm that the card has an image or provider placeholder.
The gallery shows several images
The slot can contain a multi-display capture or more than one capture record. Use the gallery thumbnails to review each item.
Today shows a provider placeholder
The record uses Dropbox or Google Drive. Today identifies the provider instead of displaying the private file as a regular preview.
Delete is missing
Delete appears only in the employee view, shown as Employee in ZMorning, for the signed-in employee's own slots. It is not available in the manager view, shown as Client in ZMorning.
Delete failed
The slot may no longer exist, authorization may have changed, or required S3 cleanup may have failed. Refresh Today before trying again.
The Dropbox or Google Drive file still exists
This matches the current deletion behavior. Remove the external file separately in the connected provider when policy requires it.
