When you've not used your computer for a set period of time (defined by Profiles), MetriQgoes into Time Away Mode. On returning to your computer, you are then able to decide which User Folder is to receive the time captured during your absence. As the purpose of MetriQ is to track all of your time, because you have already been absent from your machine for a set period of time, that time is now automatically added into Time Away for you. Thus if Time Away is set to activate after 5 minutes of non-use, when the Time Away screen opens, those 5 minutes will already be added to the total time you were away.
