  • Calendar event

• Event: actions that happened to an object, performed by employees. Examples of events:

  • Comment, upload or edit a document

  • Message sent in a Slack channel

  • Calendar event attendance

• Work Item: either an object or an event

• Time Spent: Worklytics' estimation of the amount of time a person worked on the event

File contents

This file represents an unnested version of the Items file, showing all events per employee and their estimated time spent on each within a given week.

Each row is a Json object with nested objects. The structure is intended to hold heterogeneous work sources so contents of certain fields may vary depending on the item type. Properties and metrics fields are a good example of this, for example Calendar meetings may have location, Slack message's' may have a message length or Zoom meetings may encode whether they are recurring or not. An entry may be an object and/or an event. Events have the boolean field "event" value set to true.
