Activity Start Date: Select the date from the calendar from which you want to track the user activity. This is a mandatory input.

Users can only specify one project in the user activity gadget. However, if you want to view the user activity report across projects, the user activity gadget can be added multiple times.
Users also have the option to fill in the below details:
- Activity End Date: The user activity will be tracked till the end of this date. If this parameter is not specified, the current date is used as the Activity end date.
- Activity Time Period: This is the time period grouping which should be used to group the user activity. Time period options are None, Day, Week, Month, Quarter and Year.
  - Include Limited Visibility Cases: If this option is selected, the Cases that are visible only to the currently logged-in user will also be included in the report. By default, the include limited visibility cases option is not selected.

  - Case created: Tack the number of cases created.
  - Case updated: Track the number of cases updated. This option will show the count of unique cases updated in the time period bucket. For example: If the time period grouping is for a Week, then even if a case has been updated twice in the week, it will only add 1 to the count.
