Defining "Productive" Work

Categorize apps and URLs as productive or unproductive by role with We360.ai employee monitoring and productivity tracking rules.

The platform's productivity engine is only as accurate as its categorization rules. This guide walks you through setting up role-specific productivity definitions.

Understanding Categorization

We360.ai classifies every application and website into one of three categories:

Category	Description	Example
Productive	Work-relevant tools for this role	VS Code for developers
Neutral	Uncategorized or ambiguous tools	System utilities
Unproductive	Non-work-related platforms	Social media

Configuration Steps

1

Set Organization-Wide Rules

Go to Settings → Productivity. Use the default rules panel to classify apps and URLs that apply universally (e.g., marking social media as "Unproductive" for everyone).

2

Add Role-Based Overrides

Use Role-Based Overrides to customize for specific teams. Example: mark Facebook.com as "Productive" for the Marketing team, but leave it "Unproductive" for Engineering.

3

Review Neutral Apps Regularly

Visit the Analytics → Productivity dashboard weekly to review apps that are still "Neutral". Categorize them to get a more accurate organizational productivity score.

Well-configured categorization rules are the most impactful configuration you can do. They directly determine the accuracy of each employee's productivity score.
