Time tracking
The ZMorning desktop app records an employee's work session for one employer and, when selected, one assigned task. Check those choices before starting so the resulting time, activity, and screenshots appear in the right place for review and reporting.
From Start until Stop, the app records elapsed work time for the selected employer. The session is connected to the selected task when there is one; otherwise it is saved without a task. Keyboard and mouse activity counts and screenshots are collected only when the employer's tracking settings enable them.
A few checks prevent missing tasks and time recorded under the wrong employer.
Sign in with the email address and password connected to your employee account.
If you work for more than one employer in ZMorning, select the one this session belongs to.
Wait for assigned tasks to load and verify the visible task. If no valid task is selected, Start records the session without task or project context.
Download the desktop app for Windows, Mac, or Linux, install it, and sign in through the Employee Login screen.
When your account is linked to multiple employers, choose the employer responsible for this work. The app can remember a default employer for later sessions.
Wait for the assigned tasks to load, then verify the visible task before starting. If a new assignment is missing, use Refresh Task List. Only tasks assigned to you for the selected employer are loaded.
The app loads the employer's current tracking settings. With multiple displays, it asks whether screenshot capture should use all monitors or the active monitor before tracking begins.
Stop before a break, before changing employers or tasks, and when the work is finished. Start a new session when you resume or move to different work.
Start and Stop
ZMorning does not currently have a Pause action in the desktop app.
System tray
Closing the desktop window hides it instead of ending the app.
When an active tracking session loses its connection, pending activity records and screenshots are stored on the computer and retried automatically. The app also retries after tracking stops, when the computer resumes, and at regular intervals while it remains open.
The manager view, shown as Client in ZMorning, controls whether keyboard activity counts, mouse activity counts, and screenshots are enabled for an employee. Those settings are loaded when tracking starts. ZMorning counts input activity; it does not use the task selector to change what is captured.
For details about recorded time slots, capture timing, multiple monitors, and screenshot review, continue to the Activity & Screenshots category.
Follow the first five guides for initial setup, then use the remaining guides for specific situations.
