Desktop time tracking software update#
You can also update the memos and activity labels in your Work Diary until it’s locked for invoicing. To help you get full protection, we give you the option to set a reminder in the app to ask you for a memo and activity updates while you are working. To qualify for Upwork Hourly Protection, you need to accurately describe what you are working on with these memos and activity labels. If your client is using activity labels, you’ll also need to choose from options in the activity dropdown box that appears when you’re editing the memo. You can describe what you’re working on in the memo section of the time tracker. However, if you delete a screenshot you also delete that time’s segment activity, which means the time will not be billed to your client and you will not be paid for the time. The option to delete screenshots is great for situations where you had to step away from your computer or the screenshot captured something unrelated to your project.

If you attach three or more monitors, it may only capture screenshots from one. Note that the desktop app does not support using more than two monitors. If you use two monitors, you can choose whether to capture screenshots from both monitors or only the active monitor in the desktop app settings under Screen Capture. You may also remove screen captures from your Work Diary until the end of the weekly billing cycle. By default, notifications are on and you’ll have the option to remove the screen capture before upload if you’d like to. You can choose whether you want to be notified each time a screen capture is taken. Anything visible on your screen will display in your Work Diary. When you have logging turned on, the app takes random screen captures six times per hour - once per 10-minute billing segment. What does the app upload when I log time? We are working to update all Work Diary pages soon.


You may see different versions of your Work Diary in some places, like when you access it from your contract workroom.
