How to Use the Custom Export Feature
Note: Custom Export is available on all Time Doctor plans and can be accessed by Owners, Admins, and Managers.
TL;DR:
Generate one downloadable report with precisely chosen fields (time, productivity, activity, attendance, etc.), export in CSV/XLS/PDF, choose breakdown (Totals per user or Daily), pick a time format, and optionally apply Time Zone Override to show each user’s local times.
Consolidate multiple reporting needs into a single export. Eliminate downloading separate reports by selecting only the required data points and preferred layout.

-
Time – include total, manual, and mobile time; choose percentages or totals.
-
Productivity – include totals or percentages of productive, unproductive, neutral, and unrated time.
-
Activity – include idle minutes/seconds, idle percentage, and unusual activity time.
-
Attendance – include start and end times. (Unavailable for Totals per user breakdown.)
-
Time Format – display durations as hours & minutes (e.g., 7h 30m), decimal (e.g., 7.5), or digital (e.g., 07:30:25).
Time Zone Override
Enable Time Zone Override to export data relative to each user’s own time zone. Example: if two users start work at 9:00 AM their local time in different time zones, the export shows 9:00 AM for both, regardless of company time zone.
Note: Enabling Time Zone Override can slow down exports. Unusual Activity time requires the Premium plan or the applicable add‑on.
