Set up your Trackion workspace

The steps from signing up to your first tracked work session.

Updated October 22, 2026 1 min read

Your Trackion workspace is where your team’s time, activity and reports live. Each organization gets its own workspace address and its own database.

1. Create the workspace

Sign up and choose a plan. Most plans start with a free trial and no credit card. The person who signs up becomes the first Org Admin. See Sign up and create your workspace.

2. Check your defaults

Before you add anyone, open Global Settings and set the screenshot interval, working hours and time zone. New employees copy these defaults when they are added. See Organization settings explained.

3. Add your team

Open Employees and add each person with their name, email, role and who they report to. Trackion emails them their sign-in details. Every active employee uses one seat on your plan.

4. Organize people into groups

Open Groups to create teams and choose a manager for each one.

5. Create projects

Open Projects to create the projects people work on. Assign a project to specific people or to everyone.

6. Install the desktop app

Everyone installs the Trackion desktop app for Windows or macOS from Download Desktop App, signs in with their workspace details, picks a project and starts the timer.
