Targets is your corporate list: the applications and websites your organisation considers work. It is the single most consequential list in ReclaimTime, because it decides whether a row of activity carries somebody’s name.

The Targets list, with the Corporate flag on each entry

The rule is short: activity that matches a target marked Corporate: Yes is recorded with the person’s name. Everything else is recorded without it, at group level. The full matching logic is on Corporate and non-corporate targets.

​
An entry

Fill in either an application or a website, not both. A website entry is checked against browser activity; an application entry against everything else.
An entry with Corporate: No is not a block and it is not a deny list. It records the time, just without a name. Marking facebook.com as non-corporate is how you count time on it at team level without attributing it to a person. Blocking is a separate feature entirely, see Plans for groups.

​
Adding and editing

+ Add Target creates one entry. The pencil icon edits an existing one. Changes reach the machines the next time each client refreshes its copy of the list, which happens on sign-in and periodically after that, so expect a delay of minutes rather than seconds.
Changing the corporate flag on a target does not rewrite history. Rows already recorded keep the treatment they were given when they were written. If you mark a site non-corporate today, yesterday’s named rows for it stay named. Only future activity changes.

​
Importing a CSV

Import CSV takes a file with five columns per row and no quoting requirements beyond normal CSV:
  • A first row whose first column is name is treated as a header and skipped.
  • corporate is the literal true or false. Anything that is not true is read as false, so a blank or a yes becomes non-corporate.
  • Rows with fewer than five columns are skipped silently, so check the count reported after the import against the number of lines in your file.
Import adds. It does not replace, and it does not deduplicate. Importing the same file twice gives you every entry twice. To rebuild a list, remove the old entries first.

​
Keeping the list honest

The corporate list is the part of ReclaimTime that ages worst, because it is written once at rollout and then only added to on request. Worth reviewing once a year:
  • Entries that are no longer work. A site added for a project that ended is still counting as work, and still recording names.
  • Entries that were never really work. General-purpose sites often end up on the list at rollout because they were in use at the time. Anything on it is tracked by name, so this is a privacy decision as well as a data-quality one.
  • Work that is missing. A new tool that nobody added shows up as anonymised time and looks like distraction in the totals.
The last one is the usual cause of “our numbers say the team is only working half the day”.
