What is sample data ?

When you first sign up or explore Workstatus, the system provides sample data to help you understand how the platform works. This data is automatically loaded so you can see what your Module Page will look like once your team starts using the system.
Sample data is demo information generated by Workstatus to simulate:
It's meant for exploration and training only.
It helps new users visualize real usage without requiring actual activity or employees.
At the top of your dashboard, you’ll see a yellow banner saying: "You are currently using sample data to help you explore."
There’s also a toggle to “Hide sample data”, allowing you to switch it off.
The sample data will be removed automatically once the user performs any real activity, such as creating a project, adding a task, logging time, or starting the timer using the web tracker, desktop application, or mobile app.
*If you create a project while setting up your organization, you will no longer be able to view the sample data.
If you want to view the sample data during onboarding, do not create any project. Simply click the close (✖) button to skip setup, and you will be redirected to the dashboard where the sample data will be displayed.
