Note: User Groups is available in all Time Doctor subscription plans and can be created or edited by Owners and Admins.
TL;DR:
Create User Groups to organize employees by department, type of work, or other categories. Groups help tailor productivity ratings and filter reports. Only Owners and Admins can create or edit groups, while reports can be filtered by groups across the platform.
User Groups allow companies to structure their accounts by department, role, or other categories. They provide flexibility when assigning productivity ratings and make filtering reports more effective.
Best practices for organizing groups:
-
Create groups based on departments (e.g., Design, Development, Marketing).
-
Use groups to set fair productivity ratings for roles with different tool usage.
-
If a User belongs to multiple groups, company-level productivity ratings apply instead of group-level ratings.
