HT Work Focus Getting Started
How to Install HT Work Focus
- Download HT Work Focus and install it on your computer(s)/ laptop(s) you want to manage and monitor or your terminal server.
- For remote management on one network after the installation, download HT Remote Manager and install it on your admin computer.
The app begins automatically tracking all computer activity immediately upon installation. It is invisible to users as it works silently in the background.
How to Get Remote Management
If your admin computer and the monitored device(s) are on the same local network, you can remotely access all reports and manage rules with ease. HT Work Focus offers two convenient ways to do this:
- Using a web browser — access each computer’s dashboard directly via its local network address.
- Using HT Remote Manager — a dedicated desktop app that finds and connects to all online devices running HT Work Focus on your network.
