Application Timeline Guide

How to Use the Application Timeline in Cloudica™ The Computer Activity Application Timeline is a handy visual tool that shows what apps and websites your team members have used — and when. It’s designed to help you track activity hour by hour, using colorful bars that make it easy to understand who used what, for how long, and at what time. What You'll See in the Application Timeline Here’s a quick look at the main parts of the Application Timeline: 

• Timeline Bar A 24-hour view showing activity in hourly intervals. 
• Usernames Displays each team member who's been active. 
• Application Bars Color-coded horizontal bars showing which apps or websites were used, and when. 

Each bar represents a period of time when the user interacted with a specific app or site. The color makes it easy to tell them apart at a glance.  How the Treemap Works with the Timeline The Application Usage treemap acts as the legend for the Application Timeline. It will help quickly identify the applications and information about them. As a legend, the treemap does the following: The Application Usage treemap (shown above the timeline) acts like a live legend and guide. Here's how it helps: 

• Color Matching – Hover over an app in the timeline and the matching tile in the treemap will change color to help you locate it.
• Highlighting – Hover over a bar in the timeline and the same app gets highlighted in the treemap.
• Quick Info – The treemap displays app details such as total time spent, number of users, and how often it was opened.
• Sticky Treemap – When you scroll through a long list of users, the treemap stays at the top, so you always have a reference guide nearby. 

Dig Deeper with User Mode Want to see which users were using a specific app? That’s what User Mode is for.  To enter User Mode:

• Click on any application bar in the timeline.
• The view will switch and show all users who used that app, including:

• Their names 
• A detailed application timeline for each user 
• Their keystroke activity during that period 

In the treemap tiles, you'll also see:

• Total time the user spent on the app 
• How many times they opened it 

The same color is used for an application across all users, so you can quickly spot patterns.   Ready to Explore Further?  Use the Application Timeline together with the Treemap and Keystrokes Timeline for a complete picture of your team’s productivity.
