This glossary explains the key metrics, charts, and concepts used in the Time Tracking dashboard.
Summary Cards
| KPI | Description | How it's measured |
| Total Time |
The total estimated working time across all selected workers and modules in the selected date range. |
Sum of all session durations. A session is a sequence of consecutive events where each gap is ≤ the session gap threshold (default: 5 min). |
| Active Workers |
Number of distinct users who logged at least one event in the selected period. |
Count of unique worker names found in the event data. |
| Total Sessions |
Number of working sessions detected across all workers and modules. |
Events are grouped into sessions per worker per module. A new session starts when the gap between two consecutive events exceeds the session threshold. |
| Avg. Time/Worker |
Average total time per active worker. |
Total Time ÷ Active Workers |
Sessions & Time Calculation
What is a session?
A session represents a continuous period of activity for a single worker in a single module. Events are sorted chronologically, and consecutive events with gaps smaller than the session gap threshold are merged into one session.
Session Gap Threshold: 5 minutes (configurable via server config SHIKENSO_TIME_TRACKING_SESSION_GAP_SECONDS).
Session Duration = timestamp of last event in session − timestamp of first event in session.
Example: If a worker triggers events at 09:00, 09:03, 09:07, and then the next event is at 09:25, the first three events form one session (7 min), and the 09:25 event starts a new session.
Charts
| Chart | Description |
| Time by Worker |
Doughnut chart showing the top 32 workers by total time. Remaining workers are grouped as "Others". Click a segment to toggle that worker as a filter. |
| Daily Trend |
Shows time-per-day over the selected range. Display modes:
- Stacked by Worker – Area chart with one layer per worker (top 10 or selected)
- Total Hours – Single line showing aggregate hours per day
- Bar Chart – One bar per day for total hours
- Combined – Bar for total daily hours + line per worker overlay
|
| Time by Module |
Horizontal bar chart showing hours per module (e.g. Image Annotator, Image QS, Cleaner). Stacked by job category when available (Social Media / Newspaper / Other). |
| Time by Customer |
Top 20 customers by total time. Can be stacked by category or by module. Shows which customers consume the most annotation/QS effort. |
Modules
| Module | Description |
| Image Annotator | Time spent creating and editing bounding-box annotations on images for YOLO model training. |

Worker Details Table
| Column | Description |
| Worker | The username of the person who performed the actions. |
| Total Time | Sum of all session durations for this worker in the selected period and filters. |

Period-over-Period Comparison
Enable the Compare with previous period checkbox to overlay a previous time range on all charts, KPI cards, and worker tables.
Auto mode (default): The comparison range is computed automatically as the period of equal length immediately before your selected start date.
Manual mode: Click the Manual button to pick custom comparison dates.
| Element | How comparison is shown |
| Summary Cards |
A +12.3% or -5.2% badge appears below each KPI value. |
| Daily Trend |
A dashed line/bar overlay shows the previous period’s values aligned day-by-day. |
| Module & Customer Bars |
Translucent dashed-border bars appear next to the current period bars. |
| Workers Table |
A “Δ Change” column shows the time difference and percentage change per worker. Workers present only in the previous period appear in a separate section at the bottom. |
| CSV Exports |
When comparison is active, exported CSVs include previous-period values and delta columns. |
Filters
| Filter | Description |
| Date Range | Start and end dates. Only events within this range are included. Preset buttons are available for common ranges (This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month). |
| Modules | Filter by one or more modules. Selecting a single module shows a detailed view with daily trends and per-job breakdowns. Selecting none shows a summary across all modules. |
| Workers | Filter to specific workers. Supports free-text tags and multi-select. Leave empty for all workers. |
| Customers | Filter by GPM customer name. Only events associated with jobs belonging to these customers are included. |
Tracked Events by Module
Every user interaction listed below is recorded as an event and sent to the central logger.
Time tracking works by grouping consecutive events from the same worker into sessions.
The event names below are the raw values stored in the database.
