Apps & URLs
The Apps & URLs section allows administrators to manage the applications and websites used by employees during work hours.
Vineforce Teams automatically detects applications and websites used on employee systems and records activity against them. Administrators can review these items, organize them, and categorize them as productive or non-productive.
Proper configuration helps improve the accuracy of productivity tracking and activity reports.
Accessing Apps & URLs
To open the Apps & URLs page:
- Navigate to Setup
- Click Apps & URLs
This page displays all detected applications and websites along with their recorded activity.
Automatic App Detection
Vineforce Teams automatically detects new applications and websites used by employees.
When a new application or URL is identified:
- It is automatically added to the Apps & URLs list
- Activity is recorded against it
- Administrators can later review and categorize it if needed
This ensures that all application usage is captured without requiring manual setup.
Viewing App Activity
In the Apps & URLs grid, you can see important information such as:
- Application or website name
- Icon associated with the app
- Total activities recorded for that application or URL
The activity count helps administrators identify which tools are used most frequently across the organization.
Editing an App or URL
Administrators can edit any application or website to update its details.
To edit an app:
- Locate the application in the list
- Click Edit
- Update the required settings
- Save the changes
In edit mode, you can:
- Update the application icon
- Modify configuration settings
- Adjust productivity classification
Merging Applications
Sometimes the same application may appear under different names or variations.
The Merge Apps feature allows administrators to combine similar applications into a single entry.
This helps:
- Keep the app list organized
- Consolidate activity data
- Improve reporting accuracy
After merging, all activity from the selected apps will appear under the unified application.
Setting Apps as Non-Productive
By default, all applications are considered productive for all teams.
Administrators can change this behavior when necessary.
To mark an application as non-productive:
- Open the Edit window for the application
- Navigate to the Teams tab
- Select the teams where the app should be classified as Non-Productive
- Save the changes
This allows organizations to customize productivity rules based on team requirements.
Why App Configuration Matters
Managing apps and URLs properly helps organizations:
- Improve productivity analysis
- Identify distracting websites or tools
- Understand how employees spend their work time
- Generate more accurate activity reports
Regularly reviewing detected applications ensures your productivity insights remain reliable.
Best Practices
- Periodically review newly detected applications
- Merge duplicate or similar applications to keep the list clean
- Classify distracting websites as non-productive where necessary
- Update application icons for easier identification
