Managing Remote Teams Without Visibility Is Managing Blind
You should not need to interrupt your team to know what they are working on.
Without real-time dashboards
- No way to know who is actually working right now vs. just online
- Status updates require interrupting people on Slack or email
- Time, activity, and attendance data scattered across multiple tools
- End-of-week reports reveal problems too late to fix
With HiveDesk dashboards
- Live view of who is working, what they are on, and their activity level
- Screenshots and activity data provide context without asking anyone
- Time tracking, shift attendance, and project data in one platform
- Issues are visible as they happen, not at the end of the week
The Live Views Managers Use Every Day
Dashboard, Ongoing Sessions, Scheduled Activity, and screenshot reports — each built for a specific question.
Ongoing Sessions
See who is working right now and what they are tracking time against. Managers can check users out and add, edit, or delete breaks in a live session.
Screenshot Report
Review periodic screenshots from the desktop apps, grouped by work session. Select screenshots and create a PDF for work verification or client reporting.
Dashboard
The Dashboard shows your projects, hours tracked over the last 7 days, recent activity, upcoming tasks, and task completion in one view.
Scheduled Activity
For each shift, see counts of members who are present, absent, not logged in, ongoing, on leave, or on a week off, with check-in and check-out times. Export to Excel.
Project Time Distribution
See how hours are distributed across projects and tasks. Identify where your team spends the most time and whether allocation matches priorities.
Roles and Permissions
Create custom roles and set permissions for each, so team members, managers, and administrators get the right level of visibility.
How It Works
Your dashboard starts populating as soon as your team starts tracking.
Set Up Your Team
Create projects and teams. Set up shift schedules and configure activity monitoring. Invite team members to download the app.
Team Starts Tracking
Team members track time using desktop, mobile, or browser apps. Sessions appear in Ongoing Sessions, and activity levels, screenshots, and hours flow in immediately.
Monitor & Report
Check Ongoing Sessions and Scheduled Activity during the day. Review timesheets, activity, and attendance reports. Export as PDF or Excel when needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about HiveDesk real-time dashboards.
HiveDesk splits live data across a few views. The Dashboard shows your projects, hours tracked over the last 7 days, recent activity, upcoming tasks, and task completion. Ongoing Sessions shows who is working right now. Scheduled Activity shows, for each shift, how many members are present, absent, not logged in, ongoing, on half day, on leave, on holiday, or on a week off, with check-in and check-out times. Screenshots are in Member Activity and the Screenshot report, and overtime is in the Overtime report.
Yes. HiveDesk supports custom roles and permissions, so you decide what each role can see and do. Typically team members see their own data, managers see their team, and administrators have organization-wide visibility.
Slack check-ins interrupt people and only tell you what they claim to be doing at that moment. HiveDesk dashboards show you continuous, objective data — hours tracked, activity levels, and screenshots — without interrupting anyone.
Screenshots from the desktop apps appear in Member Activity and in the Screenshot report, which groups them by work session. Select the screenshots you need and create a PDF to share. Screenshot frequency is configurable, and you can review current and historical screenshots to understand how time was spent.
Yes. In Ongoing Sessions, managers can check a user out and add, edit, or delete breaks within a session that is still running. Auto-checkout after a configurable idle period also closes sessions that were left open.
Export timesheets, activity reports, attendance, adherence, shrinkage, project time, and overtime reports as PDF or Excel. Filter by date range, team, project, or individual employee. You can also send daily email summaries to selected recipients, including people who are not team members.
Yes. HiveDesk web dashboards are responsive and work on tablets and phones through your mobile browser. You can check on your team from anywhere.
Data updates as team members track time. When someone starts their timer, they appear in Ongoing Sessions. Activity levels and screenshots from the desktop apps flow in during their work session.
HiveDesk integrates with Asana for project management, and a Public API is available on request for custom integrations and reporting tools. Dashboards pull data from HiveDesk built-in time tracking, screenshot monitoring, scheduling, and activity tracking features.
