The activity report gives you an overview of your company's activity in the form of a table. Unlike the worked time control, which shows the detail line by line, the activity report consolidates data by employee and by period: it's the ideal tool for getting a quick summary before a team meeting, before validating worked time sheets, or simply to track how counters evolve throughout the month.

## Access the activity report

Go to **Reports → Activity report**.

## What the report contains

By default, the table shows for each employee:

- Their name and status.
- The start and end of the activity period.
- The hours actually worked.
- The overtime accumulated.
- The recorded absences.
- The planned leave days.
- Public holidays.
- Time off in lieu hours.

These counters update as you schedule your employees and as their clockings are recorded. No need to calculate anything manually.

## Customize the table with counters

The report is fully customizable. You can add extra counters to display data specific to your establishment or your collective agreements.

### Add a counter

1. Click **Add a counter**.
2. Fill in the counter's **name**, its **code**, the expected **result type** and the **selector** (the source data Shyfter must calculate).
3. Click **Add**.

The new counter appears immediately in the table for all your employees.

> Every counter you add is visible for the whole displayed period. Be sure to choose a clear name so the column is understandable to all the managers who use this report.
