General
Various display settings used throughout the site.
Site url - this is the URL which will be used in email reports. So this should be some public URL, which will point to this site, otherwise links in email reports won't work correctly.

License
The license will also be used on all connected clients. If you update it, it will update on all clients as well.
Screenshots
Enable screenshots and set the folder where they should be saved. If you have a lot of users, choose a hard drive with a lot of free disk space.

You can also choose to have the screenshots blurred. If you use this feature, screenshots will be blurred before ManicTime sends them to the server. The idea of blurred screenshot is that text is unreadable, but you still have a sense of what screenshot represents. You can do this in Administration, Client settings
Once you are done with the settings, you also have to configure the client to start sending screenshots to the server. On ManicTime client (v4.1 or later), go to Edit server, Publish tab and check Publish screenshots.

| Configure ManicTime to send screenshots to the server |
Also make sure, that sending screenshots is enabled in Administration -> Client settings.
Usage
You can view the screenshots on Personal -> Day view or on Reports -> Timelines. If you mouse over the timelines, screenshot will show up in the tooltip.

Email and Email reports
Cloud (ManicTime Server) can send weekly, monthly and yearly email reports. You can configure email reports to send an email for:
- whole organization
- specific team
- specific user
There are three reports available:
- Summary - A summary report with various data
- Arrive late / Leave early violations report - A list of users who arrived too late or left too early based on settings in Administration, Site settings, Work time
- Overtime violations report - A list of users whose total work time falls outside the defined overtime threshold, based on the settings in Administration, Site settings, Work time. For example, if the work time is set to 8 hours per day and the email is sent on a weekly basis, then the expected total is 40 hours per week. If the threshold is set to 5, the report will include all users who worked less than 35 hours or more than 45 hours. If the email is sent on a daily basis, then using a 1-hour threshold may make more sense — it would report all users who worked less than 7 hours or more than 9 hours.
All values in the report link back to the site, so you can do further analysis.
