Green – Active Computer Time

Blue – Mobile Time
Represents time tracked using the Time Doctor mobile app, typically for work done away from a computer.
Yellow – Manual Time
Marks time entries manually added by a user. Manual time is commonly used to log offline work or tasks completed outside the tracking app.
Purple – Leave Time
Shows scheduled leave such as vacation or sick days, recorded via the system’s Leave Management settings.
Gray with White Dot – Paid Break
Identifies company-defined break periods that are paid and included in working hours.
Gray with Strikethrough Dollar Sign – Unpaid Break
Highlights unpaid break periods (e.g., lunch or personal time) that do not count toward paid hours.
