Desktop App & Tracking
How do I log my activity in DoTally?
Logging everything or picking rows in the desktop app, logging an earlier day, and what happens once it's logged.
You log activity in the DoTally desktop app: log everything at once, or pick the rows you want. Until you log it, your activity stays on your computer, and it doesn’t count toward your day or appear on your dashboard.
Log your whole day
Open the DoTally desktop app.
Click I’m done for Today, Log Everything. If you’ve already logged part of the day, the button reads Log all the pending work.
Wait for Activity Log Successful. When nothing is left to log, the app shows Everything is logged!
Log only some of it
Click See Recorded Activities And Choose Manually.
Tick the activity you want to log. Rows are grouped by app.
Click Log Selected.
Anything you don’t tick stays Pending on your computer. The header shows Total, Logged and Pending time, so you can see what’s left.
Log an earlier day
Pick the day in the desktop app’s calendar, then log it the same way. Days with time still to log show as pending. Unlogged activity stays on your computer for 90 days. After that it’s deleted and can’t be logged.
What happens next
Your day appears on the web dashboard under My Work, with your Logged Time and Away Time.
On Team Professional, AI Breakdown runs on its own about a minute after you log, and your scores follow.
Your Administrator and Managers can open your logged day and see the timeline, your breaks and their reasons, your totals and your place on the Timeboard, plus your scores on Team Professional. They see app names and window titles only if you’ve turned on App Sharing.
Away from your computer for part of the day, like a client visit? Add it on the web dashboard with Log manual time. It counts toward your Logged Time but never toward your scores, and your Administrator can switch it off.

Available on: Team StartUp and Team Professional. AI Breakdown and scores are Team Professional only, including the 14-day trial.
