How to Use the Daily Reports Drawer

The Daily Reports Drawer is a key feature of the Cloudica™ Daily Reports Module. Located on the right side of the page, it provides essential information about a user’s daily activities and offers tools for creating and managing Task Reports.

The drawer allows users to review or create Task Reports. It also enables users to select apps and screenshots captured by Cloudica™ for inclusion in their Daily Reports.

What is a Task Report?

A Task Report is a detailed record of the work performed by a user during a specific time period. It serves as a summary of the tasks completed, the applications used, and any screenshots taken during the workday. Task Reports offer a transparent way for users to highlight key activities, provide context for their work, and track their productivity.

Each Task Report can include

A Title summarizing the task or project.
Start and End times showing when the task was performed.
A Summary of the task or activity.
The number of Applications used.
The number of Screenshots captured during the task.
Worked Time spent
Screenshot highlights
and Notes

Task Reports are essential for managers and owners to gain insights into how employees are using their time, ensuring accountability and transparency in remote work environments.

Parts of the Daily Reports Drawer

The Daily Reports Drawer contains the following components:

4. Timesheet Cards

The Timesheet Cards summarize the time logs for the day. There are two types of Timesheet Cards:

Worked Time Card: Displays the total worked hours captured by the Cloudica™ app. It shows when work started and ended, along with the most-used app of the day.
Idle Time Card: Shows the total idle time, when it occurred, the number of times the user went idle, and the longest idle period during the day.

5. Unreported Apps Card

This card shows the number of applications that have been used but not yet included in any Task Report. It also displays the total hours spent on these apps.

When clicked, the card reveals a list of unreported apps, along with the time spent on each. The total duration of all apps is displayed at the top of the list.

To add notes to unreported apps, you’ll first need to create and save a Task Report. After that, you can add notes and click the Save button to keep your changes.

6. Task Report Cards

These cards show individual Task Reports, which you can review, edit, or create.

Unlike the Timesheet and Unreported Apps Cards (which are automatically generated), Task Report Cards are added by the user. They provide detailed information on specific tasks or activities completed during the day. Users can add multiple Task Report Cards for a single day.

Each Task Report Card includes:

Title
Start and End times
Summary
Number of Applications Used and Screenshots

7. X Button

Click this button to hide the drawer.

8. Daily Report Button

This is the pink button on the page header. Clicking it will open the drawer if it is currently hidden.

By using the Daily Reports Drawer, users can efficiently manage their work reports, track unreported apps, and provide detailed insights into their daily activities.
