Important Notes

• Do Not Modify Default Settings:
  TopTracker is configured with default settings to ensure accurate tracking. Avoid tweaking any of these settings.
• Screenshot Functionality:
  • TopTracker automatically captures random screenshots every 10 minutes.
  • This means there will be approximately 6 screenshots per hour.
  • Do not cancel or delete screenshots, as they are essential for accurate work monitoring.
• Screenshot Visibility:
  Ensure that your screen’s content is clearly visible in the captured screenshots. Blurred or cropped images may cause issues during project reviews.
