How do I login in actiTIME?
The online version of actiTIME doesn’t have an openly accessible login form – each registered organization receives a unique corporate access link. You can log in only if already purchased a license or signed up for a trial.
How to Log in to actiTIME when Subscribed
For accessing software for the first time, you need to locate an activation link and an account name that an admin user has sent to you by email after creating your account in the system.
Follow that link, create a password and click the Login button.
To enter the system again, bookmark a short actiTIME URL that has a similar form:
Next time it will direct you straight to the login page.
Remember that if you’ve lost the address, you can always ask a colleague or an admin user to share the link with you.
How to Log in to the Trial Version
After signing up for the free trial, you are taken to actiTIME automatically. However, to log in another time, you need to- locate a message with an access link, your username and a password in the email box;
- save the access link, and open it whenever you want to use the time tracker again.

How do my colleagues access actiTIME?
To access actiTIME, a user needs a login, a password, and a URL of actiTIME installation.
For actiTIME Online, necessary login details (login and account activation link) are provided in the invitation email. And if you have actiTIME Self-Hosted, the URL for accessing your account has the following format:
http://<IP>:<port>
where:
IP is the IP address of the computer where actiTIME is installed;
Port is the port number of actiTIME installation. If you installed actiTIME from an Auto package (.exe file), you specified it during the installation, and this URL opens when you start actiTIME. For Custom packages (.zip or .tar.gz), it is 8080.
Make sure that this URL does NOT contain ‘localhost’ or ‘127.0.0.1’. If it does, replace it with the IP address of the computer where actiTIME is installed. To find out the IP address:
- Start Command Prompt (Start menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> Command Prompt or start "Run" dialog box >> type "cmd" and press Enter).
- Enter the command "ipconfig" in the Command Prompt and press Enter.
- In the "IPv4 Address" line, you'll see the IP address of your computer.
How do I set up an admin user?
Administrative rights in actiTIME are defined by the set of permissions granted to the user. You can check your permissions in the personal profile. To open it, click on your name in the right upper corner of actiTIME interface.
Permissions can be granted in User Account Settings interface. To open it, click on the Users tab and select necessary user in the list. Scroll down to the Permissions section and grant necessary ones to the user.

I ran out of user accounts. What can I do?
No problem! You can free up some user seats, if there are users who stopped using the system, or purchase additional accounts.
To free up a user account, just disable one of the accounts you don’t need anymore. Open the Users interface, click on the user’s name, and in the User Account Settings box, turn OFF user’s access to actiTIME.
