### How Does Manual Time Affect Activity Levels?

When manual time is entered by an employee, the activity level for that block of time will be 0%.  When a manager or employee is looking at their activity data in the reports section or dashboard the activities are calculated to include this manual time activity of 0%.

So for example, if your employee tracked 2 hours with the time tracking application, and had an activity of 80% and then added 1 hour of manual time (0% activity), the activity % for that day would be calculated like this:

80% + 80% + 0% = 160 / 3 hours of time = 53.33%
Adding manual time reduces the activity level percentage.

Any manual time added will also appear on the screenshots page:
