Triggers

Manage screenshot and activity triggers remotely from the cloud dashboard or Windows client.

Work Monit gives you more trigger options than most monitoring tools. Set rules for screenshots, data retention, and logging — then change them anytime without touching the PC.

Manage remotely or on Windows
