Time-Tracking in V7

All annotation time in V7 is calculated using V7's workview timer. This time is used to generate all V7 reports, which allow you to measure the efficiency of your workforce.

The timer has been designed to be flexible to meet a variety of use cases, while also including logic to make sure it is fair and doesn't over-measure time just because you stepped away for lunch.

When is time recorded?

Time will be recorded whenever a user is in a dataset item in V7.

Time recorded to a file is cumulative. Any work done over several sessions will be included in the overall time recorded to each assigned annotator within each workflow stage.

The time recorded in previous workflow stages can be reviewed by hovering over the workflow stage. Active Time is used in all time-based reports.

Active Time

The time that where a user was actively making interactions in V7. This could be scrolling, panning, zooming, making annotations, creating comments, watching videos.

When is time recording paused?

Time will not be recorded whenever:

  • The annotator manually pauses the timer (recording will resume whenever an action is taken).
  • The annotator has moved to another browser tab.
  • More than 60 seconds have elapsed since the last action.
