Time Tracking
Choose an Employer
Choose which employer receives the next desktop tracking session, task selection, activity, and screenshots.
How do I choose an employer in the desktop app?
Open Settings. If your employee account is linked to multiple employers, choose the correct one under Track For and select Save & Apply. Stop the timer first if it is running. ZMorning saves that employer as the default and reloads the work connected to it.
Understand what the employer controls
An employee can be linked to more than one employer in ZMorning. The desktop app needs one current employer so it can keep each organization's work and tracking records separate.
The task list is filtered to assignments belonging to the selected employer.
Recent tracked records on Home are loaded for the selected employer.
The next Start loads that employer's screenshot, keyboard-count, and mouse-click settings.
Time, activity, and any enabled screenshots are recorded for the employer selected when the session starts.
Check the current employer
Open Home and read the name beside You are working for: before starting the timer.
One linked employer
ZMorning selects it automatically
Settings shows the employer's name under Track For. There is no employer dropdown or Save & Apply button because there is no alternative to choose.
Multiple linked employers
Confirm the saved default
ZMorning restores the previously saved employer when it is still linked. Check the Home label before each session instead of assuming the last project's employer is selected.
Change the employer for upcoming work
-
1
Stop the current timer
If tracking is active, return to Home and select Stop. ZMorning disables employer changes while the timer is running so one session cannot move between employers.
-
2
Open Settings
Desktop app: Menu → Settings
Find the Track For employer field.
-
3
Select the employer
Open the selector and choose the employer responsible for the work you are about to track.
-
4
Select Save & Apply
The button becomes available after the selection differs from the current employer. Saving applies the choice in the app and records it as the account's default employer.
-
5
Verify the result on Home
Return to Home and confirm You are working for:. Then review the refreshed task list before starting a new session.
What changes after Save & Apply
The employer choice becomes the context for the work shown on Home and for the next tracking session.
Default
The employer is remembered
The app applies the choice locally and asks the ZMorning service to save it for later sessions.
Tasks
Assignments reload
The task list changes to assignments associated with the newly selected employer.
Work log
Recent records reload
Home requests the recent tracking records associated with the selected employer.
Next Start
Current settings are loaded
The app requests that employer's screenshot and activity settings when the next session starts.
Troubleshoot employer selection
- Track For has no dropdown
- If one employer name is shown, the account has one linked employer and ZMorning uses it automatically.
- Track For does not appear
- The account has no employer available in its current session. Ask the employer to confirm the employee relationship, then log out and sign in again.
- An expected employer is missing
- The open app may have an older employer list, or the relationship may not exist. Confirm access with the employer, then log out and sign in again to reload the list.
- The selector or Save & Apply is disabled
- Tracking is active. Return to Home, select Stop, and reopen Settings.
- Tasks changed after saving
- This is expected. The task list contains assignments for the selected employer, so another employer can have a different list.
- The employer changed but the expected task is missing
- Continue to the task guide, refresh the list, and ask the employer to confirm the assignment if it remains unavailable.
