Dependant Accounts Overview
Chrontrack supports managed (dependant) accounts — separate user profiles whose time you track on their behalf. Common use cases include:
- A parent tracking daily activities for a child
- A caregiver logging time for a patient or family member
- An organization managing time across individuals who don't have their own login
A dependant account is a full Chrontrack account. It has its own task tree, time entries, goals, and reports. You access it by switching into its session.
Key concepts
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Owner | The user who created the managed account; has full control |
| Managed account | The dependant profile being tracked |
| Session switch | Entering the dependant's context to track or review their data |
| Care team | A team assigned to a managed account; active members can switch into the account's session |
How it works
- You create a managed account from the Dependants page.
- You (or a caregiver you invite) switch into the account's session to start timers or review data.
- From the home page, a Dependant timers panel shows any currently running timers for all your dependants at a glance.
Next steps
- Managing accounts — create, edit, delete accounts
- Team assignment — assign a team so members can access the dependant's session and shared categories appear in their tree
