CloudDesk® FAQ
What is CloudDesk?
CloudDesk is an remote employee monitoring software for effective workflow management. It comes with time tracking, attendance tracking, activity level tracking, screenshots, engagement checking, web and app usage and automated reporting.
How does the application work?
To start tracking your employee work activities with the CloudDesk app, you need to create an account and add your employees to the system. Your employees can then start using the desktop application on their computer device while working. You and other admin members can see the complete overview of employee work activities in the Dashboard for further analysis.
Along with monitoring and time tracking, there is an option to enable the screenshot function, which gives more detail about the activity level on each computer. The application also conducts Face ID verification to capture and recognize an employee’s face while they work. The feature ensures the employee’s identity matches the one it is supposed to be.
To improve productivity, you can analyze individual employees’ web and app usage and check their work history.
In the ‘Report’ section, you can find a more detailed view of the data collected by CloudDesk. You can also view customer data for specific time periods, compare employees and teams, see their productivity levels and export reports to Excel files for precise evaluation.
Lastly, CloudDesk will automatically detect inactive sessions and go idle after 5 minutes. This frequency can also be adjusted in the settings section. Once an employee returns to work, he will need to conduct facial verification to go online again.
How do I invite employees or team members into CloudDesk?
To invite employees or team members, simply navigate to Employee>Add Employee, then enter their email address and basic information. You can add multiple members and set their roles. For a detailed guide, click here.
You can also send this Getting Started With CloudDesk for Employees to new users on your team.
What is the ‘Work Insights’ section?
Business administrators can see the statistics for individual employees or the entire team they manage. However, CloudDesk also offers employees to have access to their personal reports.
In the Work Insights section, you can choose to see your employee’s report for any day, week or month. You can apply filters to choose the time period or web usage you wish to compare. You can use this information to see the trends in employee productivity or work habits.
How is time tracked and calculated in CloudDesk?
CloudDesk remote employee monitoring software makes tracking time easy. CloudDesk starts to track the time when your employees press the ‘Start Working’ button until they press ‘Stop Working.’ The software quietly runs in the background during the work session and captures each employee’s complete working hours, active/idle time, break time and meeting time. From this information, CloudDesk calculates total productive hours, which you can use as a benchmark metric to evaluate how active your employees are during their working hours.
How does CloudDesk Idle Time work?
The Idle Time tracking is another important feature provided by CloudDesk. This feature lets employers track time with precision.
While it is easy to start/stop/pause (break time) with the CloudDesk App during work sessions, sometimes, employees might forget to stop or pause the timer. This is why CloudDesk has included features that automatically stop tracking time when there is no activity for five minutes or more. The inactive time is automatically deducted from the timesheet and stored as idle time. The tracker continues to track idle time unless employees start working again.
How do auto screenshots work?
The Screenshots feature enables CloudDesk to capture employee computer screens at random time intervals. You can enable the screenshot feature for the whole team or specific users and set the frequency of screenshots captured per hour. That way, business owners can view their member’s activities throughout the day and get a greater overview of how employees spend their time at work.
Can I capture passwords with CloudDesk?
No, CloudDesk does not have a keylogger feature. We want things to run smoothly and ethically for both parties, so CloudDesk intentionally doesn’t record or monitor keystrokes. This allows us to stay on the top lists of all popular monitoring software.
You can view the activity log to see the screenshots of internet usage to get a clear view of what employees are doing.
How does CloudDesk help employees stay productive?
Employees can see how CloudDesk remote employee monitoring software tracks time activities and gives administrators valuable knowledge about employee strengths, weaknesses and underutilized time. You will be amazed to see how productive, accountable and self-directed they become after seeing the accountability features CloudDesk provides.
Does CloudDesk work offline?
Yes, CloudDesk can work offline!
All work data and screenshots are continually saved locally and synchronized to the CloudDesk server when a connection is restored. Once synchronized and processed, data becomes available in the application.
Is there any option to record employees’ screens?
CloudDesk can take multiple screenshots per minute, but we do not record employee computer displays while they are working. CloudDesk is an employee-friendly monitoring software with no hidden or spy-like features. At CloudDesk, we highly respect employee privacy and don’t do anything that can violate their privacy. Screenshots are captured to keep a record of employee work activities, which function as proof of work.
Is there any option to record voice or video?
CloudDesk is a productivity software and not a counterspy tool. So, we do not have any option to record voice or video, and we never will. CloudDesk practices a 100% ethical way of the employee monitoring process and believes in transparency in monitoring.
How does CloudDesk track employee location?
CloudDesk has a built-in GPS feature that allows business owners to track the location of their employees. While other features of remote employee monitoring software help you track employee working hours, you also need a GPS tracking feature to ensure your remote workers are working from a steady location.
Can CloudDesk track IP addresses?
No. CloudDesk does not track employee IP addresses on any computer device, as it is not necessary for the app’s intended use.
Can I hide CloudDesk from my employees?
No, you cannot hide CloudDesk for your employees. There is no way to monitor your employee’s work activity unless they turn on the app on their computer device.
Does CloudDesk offer mobile apps?
Yes, CloudDesk offers a fully featured mobile app to make your monitoring process smoother and simpler. You can use your smartphone to enable the CloudDesk mobile app to watch employees’ work updates and progress. Our Mobile app empowers business owners to track employees regardless of their own location.
Is there any free subscription for CloudDesk?
Yes, anyone can subscribe to CloudDesk for free with limited tracking features. See our pricing details for more details.
How to cancel subscriptions?
Canceling your CloudDesk® subscription is an easy process. You can do it at any time without any hassle. Contact our support team and request for your subscription to be canceled.
Is it legal to use remote employee monitoring software like CloudDesk?
Yes, CloudDesk is a 100% legal remote employee monitoring software. The software does not violate any privacy guidelines and regulations, if used correctly. CloudDesk does not track any activity in hidden mode or track anything unethical or unlawful. Protecting your data is one of your top priorities. Employee monitoring laws differ from country to country. A good rule of thumb is to make sure your employees know why and how you track their work activities. We highly recommend that businesses have employees review monitoring policies and sign a written consent form before monitoring.
Please note: This is not legal advice. We recommend you consult with your legal counsel regarding monitoring your business and its employees.
