Settings
The user can set various aspects in WORK & MOVE Coach. We will explain all 'Settings' in greater detail below. The 'Sit-stand profiles' and 'Configure desk' elements apply to a greater or lesser extent depending on whether or not you have an electric sit-stand desk connected.
When you enter a value (e.g. number or text) in a field (such as 'Sitting height' in the example below), WORK & MOVE Coach saves it automatically. You don't need to click a 'Save' button.
General settings
You set a number of basic details in 'General settings'. such as language, measurement units, and your weight. Your weight is used to calculate the number of calories burned when changing position.
Screen settings
In 'Screen settings' you can choose where notifications appear and whether they show only on your primary screen or also on secondary screens.
At the bottom of this menu, you can also indicate the frequency (never, always, daily, weekly, monthly) at which the dashboard is proactively displayed when starting your computer. Which theme (light, dark or 'Increased readability') you prefer. And which startup page (trophies/statistics) you prefer.
Configure desk
The options for setting your personal sit-stand desk heights are shown below. The 'Automatic drive' setting enables you to operate your sit-stand desk with a single action (Ctrl+Win+W hotkey).
If you use a different (non-electric) sit-stand solution, such as an adjustable desk riser (see image below) or a manual sit-stand desk, and still wish to receive sit-stand reminders, select 'Yes' from the option 'Use a sit-stand desk not connected to WORK & MOVE'.
Tips settings
You decide which tips and advice are shown as the content of a Concentration boost. You can determine which tips appear in each Concentration boost, by navigating to 'Settings' → 'Tips settings'.
Pit stop profiles
You can select the desired level of WORK & MOVE Coach support yourself in the pit stop profiles. The profiles vary from minimal support (Monitor) to a high level of support (Recovery).
When you click on a profile ('Pro' in the example above), its information expands. You can further adjust the profile settings by clicking 'Settings'.
Difference between 'Enabled' and 'Forced':
Enabled: The selected pit stop notification category is active and will appear at the chosen interval.
Forced: In addition to being enabled, the pit stop is enforced by blocking your screen and keyboard/mouse input for its duration. 'Forced' can only be activated if the category is 'enabled'.
Pit stop profile advice
WORK & MOVE Coach advises the user if the selected pit stop profile does not suit the intensity of the user's activities (active computer time, pit stop success, etc.). In the example below, the user has the 'Monitor' profile selected, but WORK & MOVE Coach recommends the 'Pro' profile.
NOTE: it is just a recommendation and not an obligation, the user always remains in control.
Sit-stand profiles
If you have an electric sit-stand desk connected, you can set your personal level of sit-stand support in WORK & MOVE Coach via 'Sit-stand profiles'. WORK & MOVE Coach has four profiles varying from 'Monitor' to 'Very sporty' as shown below. In addition, there is a fifth profile option for setting your profile manually in full accordance with your own preferences.
You activate the profile in question by checking the 'Active' box.
By clicking on the profile, the information drops down and you see the corresponding sitting and standing times for this profile. Time active is based on your net active computer time, consisting of your mouse and keyboard activities. Clock time is based on normal clock time, which means you are advised to alternate between sitting/standing while you work independently of your mouse and keyboard activities.
You can easily adjust your sit and stand goals by moving the sliders with your mouse.
(Video) call settings
WORK & MOVE Coach tracks your time in (video) calls and can show dedicated pit stops during or after a call. While you’re in a call, all other pit stops are dimmed, except sit-stand notifications.
Video boosts are pit stops during or after a long (video) call. The aim is to get moving physically (together) and mentally process the information from the conversation.
Video energizers are short reminders that appear halfway through a (video) call. The purpose of a Video energizer is to make you aware of a change in posture. For example, by standing up, smiling or blinking your eyes. This keeps you energetic, alert and healthy during the rest of the (video) call.
You decide if and when (video) call pit stops are shown, by navigating to 'Settings' → '(Video) call settings'.
Rituals settings
Lunchtime walks, taking the stairs, drinking water, eating fruit and doing physio exercises are examples of rituals during the working day. You can set these rituals and link them to a specific day and time in WORK & MOVE Coach. You can set personal rituals yourself in 'Settings' → 'Rituals settings'.
Click on the 'Add new ritual' button and set your personal ritual. Check the days in question and the corresponding time at which the ritual should be displayed.
You can switch rituals off temporarily and back on again by checking on/off. If you would like to remove a ritual permanently, you can do so with the garbage can icon. A ritual is then displayed to you on the day and at the time in question.
