2. Select Setting .

The currency you choose will be used to display the wage/salary in the BI > Productivity report, TIME TRACKING > Employee Cost, TIME TRACKING > Task Cost, Payroll Widgets, Employee Profile (e.g., their salary/wage rate), etc. - anywhere the currency is used.

5. You can assign a DEFAULT TASK for employees when they start their shift (this is applicable if the employee is using the Hidden Agent). Restart the user machine(s) after changing the default task for it to take affect. Note that you can change/override the default task for an employee from their profile under the ACCOUNT INFO tab.

If disabled, new computer installations will not be monitored until you activate them from the dashboard (you can toggle monitoring for users from the COMPUTERS > Action menu).

9. Enable the ENABLE WEB LOGIN FOR NEW AGENTS BY DEFAULT option if you want your users to be able to log into the dashboard to see their own work stats, enable this option.
