Setting Minimum Activity Times for Trace Suggestions

This article covers information about Trace, Actionstep's AI-based time-tracking product. To learn more, contact your Actionstep customer success manager or account executive.

 

You can customize Trace to control how long you must spend on an activity before it appears as a suggestion. This helps filter out brief activities that you may not want included in your timesheet. You can set minimums times for emails, documents, websites/web-based apps, and desktop programs. (The default minimum time for these is 5 seconds.) Activities shorter than your specified minimum time will not appear as suggestions in the Trace panel.

 

To set your minimum activity times:

  1. In Actionstep Practice Management, view your My Profile page. (See Getting to Know the 'My Profile' Page for help.)
  2. In the Trace section, click Configure. The Trace Settings page appears.
  3. In the Minimum duration section, enter the minimum duration for each activity type, using Minutes and Seconds.
  4. Click Save to save your changes.

Tip: Set shorter minimum times for activities such as reading emails and longer times for activities such as browsing websites to help reduce unwanted suggestions.
