The Most Work-Life Balance Potential Issues widget helps identify users who may be at risk of work-life imbalance. It provides visibility into specific patterns of work behavior that indicate potential overwork.
Where to Find the Widget
-
Located under the Dashboard and Team Dashboard pages.
-
Available in both the Past 7 days and Past 30 days views.
-
Displayed in the Top users section.
How It Works
Each day, the widget evaluates four conditions. When met, each counts as one potential issue:
-
Worked too many hours – more than 9 hours in a day (default).
-
Worked late hours – after 8 p.m. (default, user’s timezone).
-
Worked too many hours outside scheduled time – more than 1 hour outside set schedule (default; requires Work Schedules enabled).
-
Worked on a weekend – more than 5 minutes on designated weekend days (configurable via the Start week onsetting).
For example, if a user works late on Monday and also works more than 9 hours, this equals two potential issues. If the same occurs on Tuesday, the total becomes four issues.
