CurrentWare now offers an improved way to track employee productivity with the new Idle Exclusion feature. This update is designed for organizations with remote or hybrid teams, 
providing more accurate insights into employee activity during meetings and passive engagement.

Many remote workers spend significant time in online meetings, where they are actively engaged but not physically interacting with their computer (e.g., using their mouse or keyboard). 
This can result in inaccurate "idle" time classifications. With the Idle Exclusion feature, you can designate specific applications and websites to be excluded from idle time calculations, 
ensuring that time spent in these tools is not mistakenly classified as inactivity.

Key Benefits

• More Accurate Data: Counts time spent in meetings as productive work, providing a more reliable picture
  of employee activity.

• Boosts Employee Trust: Fairly represents employee productivity, reducing frustration and improving morale.

• Streamlined Reporting: Provides accurate, error-free data for performance reviews and reporting.

• Flexible and Customizable: Allows you to choose which applications and websites are exempt from idle
  time tracking, adapting to your unique workflow.

How It Works

The Idle Exclusion feature is located in the CurrentWare Console under Settings > BrowseReporter > Idle Exclusion List.

Here, you can add applications and websites that you want to exclude from idle time tracking. For example, by adding Zoom.exe or teams.microsoft.com to the list, CurrentWare will no 
longer classify time spent on these platforms as idle, even if there is no mouse or keyboard activity.

Important Details:

• Productivity States: When an application or website is on the Idle Exclusion list, any time spent on it will be
  classified as active in your reports.

• Real-Time Tracking: This feature is only compatible with the Real-Time Tracking mode in your
  BrowseReporter settings.

• Limits: You can add up to 100 applications or websites to the Idle Exclusion list.

• Separate from Exclusion List: The Idle Exclusion List is separate from the standard Exclusion List. While
  an application on the standard Exclusion List will not be tracked at all, an application on the Idle Exclusion
  List will be tracked as active time, preventing it from showing as idle.
  

By using this new feature, you can ensure that your employee activity data is fair, accurate, and truly reflective of how work is done in a modern, flexible environment.
