Please note that you can classify application process names (e.g., slack.exe, soffice.bin) and website domains (e.g., news.com, mail.google.com). You cannot classify specific URL addresses (e.g., news.com/politics).

Productivity Profiles determine how apps/website domains are classified as productive/unproductive. This, in turn, will affect how Productive Time, Unproductive Time etc. are reported.

You can quickly classify apps/website domains from the BI REPORTS > Applications & Websites screen, from the Grid Widget.

Classifying a Single App/Domain

1. Right click on a row on any of the Grid Widgets and select the Classify option from the pop-up menu. This will pop open the Classify activity window:

2. Select a productivity PROFILE.

3. Select a productivity CATEGORY. Check out this article learn more about productivity categories and how to create them.

4. Click SAVE to save the classification. Note that activities are classified as they are performed. If you want to retroactively apply a productivity profile use the reset classifications option from Configure > Productivity Profiles.

Classifying Multiple Apps/Domains

You can classify a group of apps/website domains by first selecting them and then right-clicking the selection and choosing the Classify option. The rest is similar to classifying a single activity:

Note that you will need to click and drag from within the grid to select an area. It can’t be from outside the grid or in a blank area on the right, you have to click from inside the columns where data is present.

You can also classify a group of activities, configure the productivity profiles or reset them, from the CONFIGURE > Productivity Profiles screen.
