Product Update: New Navigation Experience

We're excited to introduce an improved navigation experience that makes your ActivTrak platform more intuitive and user-friendly. During this transition period, you may encounter either our current navigation (Legacy Navigation) or our new navigation (New Navigation), depending on your account type and when it was created.

This navigation update is part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing your ActivTrak experience, informed by user feedback and research. We designed these changes to make the platform more intuitive while ensuring a smooth transition for all users. Both navigation versions provide the same powerful ActivTrak insights – just with improved organization and clearer terminology.

Which Navigation experience am I using?

Accounts created after October 27, 2025

If you create a new trial account after this release, you'll automatically be taken to the new navigation experience. We've given the left sidebar a fresh look with clearer labels and better organization. Everything's been reorganized around solution areas and use cases, so you can find the reports you need without hunting through menus. Whether you're tracking productivity, managing schedules, or analyzing workforce trends, the features you're looking for are grouped in ways that actually make sense for how you work.



Executive Summaries: For leadership teams monitoring organizational health


Workforce Management: For managers tracking team productivity and performance


Technology & AI Usage: For IT teams monitoring technology usage and compliance


Productivity Optimization: For identifying productivity gaps and improvement opportunities

New Navigation (GA) - Toggle Removed

Starting May 1, 2026, the new navigation is now the standard experience for all ActivTrak accounts—no toggle needed. When we launched the new navigation, the toggle gave you time to move between the old and new layouts at your own pace. That transition period has ended, and the new navigation is now fully in place for everyone.

Starting January 12, 2026, you'll be able to switch between the new and legacy navigation whenever you need to. Whether you're getting comfortable with the new layout or need to quickly reference something in the old view, you're in control. The toggle will be deprecated from all accounts on May 1, 2026.

To switch between navigation experiences:
  1. Look for the toggle at the top of the right navigation bar
  2. Click to switch—no page refresh needed
  3. Your view changes immediately, so you can keep working

Think of this toggle as your safety net as you get familiar with the new navigation. Want to explore the new features but need to jump back to complete a quick task? No problem. Taking your time to learn the new layout at your own pace? That works too.

Your choice will save automatically, so the navigation experience you prefer will be there waiting for you next time you log in.
