General information

The Applications screen provides information concerning all applications detected on all devices with the Agent within the network. An application can be both a program run on a computer and a web site visited by the user. Only the applications that were used by users are displayed. If any program has a desktop (e.g. winword.exe) and web (Word online – www.office.com) version, it is always treated as two different applications.

Data collected by the SmartTime module are subject to full control by the administrator. They are sent and added every 20 minutes and upon disabling the system on which the Agent is installed.

Applications in the SmartTime module are grouped by the following three main productivity levels:

•Productive applications,

•Neutral applications,

•Unproductive applications.

The above-mentioned productivity levels cannot be added, edited or deleted.

To make it easier to review the list of applications, the following filters have been developed:

•Calendar – allows the selection of the time period in which the applications were detected,

•Productivity – allows the application productivity to be defined,

•Category – allows the application category to be defined,

•Application type – allows the search to be narrowed down to desktop applications or web pages only,

•Usage time – specifies the time of application usage,

•New only – the applications that appeared in the system in the given time period are displayed.

The SmartTime module has a database of the most popular applications and is able to classify them as productive or unproductive. If an application not included in the database is detected, it is classified as neutral.

In order for the SmartTime module to utilize its full potential, the administrator should regularly update the list of applications in the system. To facilitate this, the New only option is available to show the new applications that appeared in the system in the selected time period.
