Label Apps & Websites as Productive or Unproductive

🎯 Overview

What is productivity rating?

Productivity ratings let you define whether time spent on specific apps and websites counts as productive, neutral, or unproductive for each employee. Ratings can be applied at two levels — company-wide or per individual — giving you flexibility to reflect different roles and responsibilities across your organization.

For example, social media may be unproductive for a developer but productive for a marketing team member. Productivity ratings let you capture these nuances accurately.

Prerequisites

Before configuring productivity ratings, make sure you have:

Admin access to your Flowace account
At least one member added under Admin Settings → Members
Teams created (optional, but recommended for team-level configuration)

Setting up productivity scope

The Productivity Scope tab lets you configure how productivity is measured for each member — individually or at company level.

Admin Settings → Work Policies → Productivity Setting → Productivity Scope

Navigate to **Admin Settings **from the left sidebar.
Expand Work Policies **and click **Productivity Setting.
Ensure you are on the **Productivity Scope **tab.
Use the **Search by Name / Email / Id **bar to quickly find a specific member.
For each member, select a **Mapping Preference **from the dropdown in the third column.
Changes are saved automatically when you change the dropdown value.

Mapping preference options

The mapping preference determines which set of app/website productivity ratings applies to a member.

Option	What it means	Best for
Company Ratings	Uses the global app/website ratings configured for the whole company.	Most employees with standard roles
Individual Ratings	Uses a custom set of ratings defined specifically for this employee.	Employees with unique productivity patterns (e.g., social media managers, designers)
Team rating	Uses a custom set of ratings defined specifically for the team	Team Wise Ratings.

Configuring apps and websites

The Apps and Websites tab is where you define the actual productivity ratings for tracked apps and websites.

Admin Settings → Work Policies → Productivity Setting → Apps and Websites

Rating levels

Rating	Description
Productive	Time on this app or site counts toward productive hours.
Neutral	Time is tracked but does not affect the productivity score.
