With Laurel, your daily workflow will no longer be interrupted by the start-and-stop of filling out timesheets. Get ready for timekeeping, reimagined. ✨
Laurel works using two parts:
Laurel Assistant: a program installed on your computer that keeps track of your work activities throughout your day
Laurel Web-based app: where you'll manage your time entries from your personal account
Laurel Assistant pushes your activities to the Laurel web app, where they will be displayed on your Work Activity.
Logging in to Laurel Assistant
Once your firm has Laurel configured for your use, you'll be able to log into Laurel Assistant with your firm credentials.
If you can't find the software on your computer, try searching for "Laurel" in the Windows search field on your task bar. Alternatively, open your icon panel in the bottom right of your desktop (indicated with a carat like this ^) and click on our logo.
📝 Note: Your firm will typically automatically install Laurel Assistant on your computer. If you're unable to locate it on your device, please contact your firm's IT.
Once logged in, click "Open application" to automatically open the web-based application in a new browser window.
Logging in to the Laurel Website
Laurel will only collect your activities from the device where Laurel Assistant is installed. However, you're able to view and edit your Timesheet through the Laurel web app on any browser. Just head to app.laurel.ai and log in using your SSO credentials for efficient timekeeping, everywhere.
Log in Expiration
You'll stay logged in to the Laurel systems for a period of time for your convenience:
Laurel Desktop Assistants: 30 days
Laurel Website: 30 days
When your access expires, you will need to sign in again.
User Tips:
🧠 Remember: You must be logged in to the Laurel Assistant in order for your work to be collected! We'll let you know if you're logged out with a pop-up on the bottom right corner of your screen.
Although the system is designed to keep you logged in for approximately 30 days, we've learned that some firms have stricter security restrictions, which may require you to log in more frequently. To ensure smooth tracking, here are some tips:
1. Move the Assistant Icon to the Taskbar
You can easily drag the assistant icon from the system tray to your taskbar (as shown in the GIF below). This makes it more visible and accessible. When the assistant is actively tracking, the icon will turn green, and hovering over it will display exactly what is being tracked. Make it a habit to check that the assistant icon is present and green when you’re reviewing your time.
2. Use the In-App Assistant Status
Within the app, the assistant status indicator provides an easy way to monitor your login state:
Green: You’re logged in, and tracking is active.
Yellow: You’re logged out and need to log back in.
By consistently checking these indicators, you can avoid interruptions and ensure your activities are tracked accurately.
