Operations home is today’s roster, not a payroll week

After sign-in you land on Team: today’s people, online, tracked, idle, then the roster. Timesheets is Monday–Sunday payroll. Insights is the weekly reading.

After sign-in you land on Team. That screen is the operations home: today’s people, who is online, tracked time, idle share, then the roster. It is not Timesheets (a Monday–Sunday payroll week) and not Insights (a weekly headline and coaching notes). There is no separate dashboard route and no attention inbox. “Who needs attention” means read idle, paused, or last-seen on the roster.

Team is a signed-in screen. Public Search “open dashboard” or “who is online” stays on /download. After you sign in, Ask “open dashboard”, “operations home”, or “who needs attention” opens Team. Ask “dashboard tutorial” or “how to read the dashboard” opens the operations home tutorial. Ask “team tutorial” opens the Team tutorial. Ask “please tell me who needs attention” or “please write my standup” is refused.

Read today, then pick the other week

  1. Sign in. VisibleHours opens Team — the operations home.
  2. Read Today: people in this organization, heartbeats in the last eight minutes, tracked seconds (active + idle), and idle as a share of tracked time. Online is not a live map.
  3. Scan the roster for idle, paused, or a stale last-seen. Click a name for that person’s day. Invites stay on the same screen.
  4. Need an approved payroll week? Open Timesheets. Need a written weekly reading? Open Insights. Need a date-range CSV? Open Exports.

Empty today with people on the roster means no heartbeat has landed — not a hidden watcher. Empty Timesheets is “no draft for that Monday–Sunday.” Empty Insights is “no classified time to summarize.” Those are different empty states.

What this is not

  • Not a live map and not an attention queue.
  • Not payroll approval and not a coaching essay.
  • Not a public page. Site search will not open the roster.
  • Not outreach. VisibleHours will not rank people or mail a standup.
