[ACTIVITY TRACKING]

Activity Tracking for FiveM Rosters

The number one challenge for FiveM department heads: keeping members active. PulseRoster's activity tracking system lets you set requirements, monitor compliance, and identify inactive members — all automatically.

Available on Standard ($9.99/mo) and Professional ($24.99/mo) plans.

The Activity Problem in FiveM

Every FiveM server owner knows the struggle. You build departments, recruit members, set up ranks — and then half your roster goes inactive. Without a way to track who is actually patrolling, training, and contributing, departments stagnate.

Google Sheets can't do this. You'd need members to self-report in a spreadsheet (which they won't), or you manually track it (which you don't have time for). Most servers just ignore activity tracking entirely and deal with the consequences — dead departments, inactive command staff, and a roster full of names that never show up.

PulseRoster solves this with built-in activity tracking that makes it easy for members to log hours and easy for command staff to enforce requirements.

How Activity Tracking Works

Members Log Their Hours

Members log their activity through the PulseRoster web dashboard. They record patrol time, training sessions, meetings, and any other activity type your department recognizes. Each log entry includes the duration, type, and optional notes. It takes less than 30 seconds to log an entry after a patrol session.

Set Rank-Based Requirements

Different ranks have different expectations. A cadet in training might need 12 hours per week to complete probation. A patrol officer might need 10 hours. A lieutenant running a division might only need 6 hours of direct patrol time because they have administrative responsibilities.

PulseRoster lets you configure activity requirements per rank, per department. This means your Police department can have different requirements than your EMS department, and within each department, each rank can have its own target. Requirements are enforced weekly, and the system tracks rolling compliance.

Command Staff Dashboard

Department heads and command staff see a real-time overview of activity compliance. At a glance, you can see who is meeting requirements, who is falling behind, and who is on LOA (and therefore exempt). No more guessing who is active and who isn't — the data is right there.

LOA Integration

Activity requirements automatically pause when a member is on an approved leave of absence. When the LOA ends, tracking resumes from where it left off. This is critical for fairness — members on vacation or dealing with real-life obligations shouldn't be flagged as inactive. PulseRoster handles this automatically, no manual adjustments needed.

Why Activity Tracking Matters for FiveM

Keep Departments Active

Nothing kills a FiveM server faster than empty departments. Activity tracking gives command staff the data they need to identify problems early — before a department goes dead.

Fair Promotion Decisions

Promotions should be based on contribution, not favoritism. Activity data gives command staff objective metrics to support promotion decisions.

Accountability Without Micromanaging

Members know the requirements and can track their own progress. Command staff see the overview without needing to manually check on everyone. The system does the tracking — people do the work.

No Competitor Has This

Built-in activity tracking with rank-based requirements is a PulseRoster differentiator. Google Sheets can't do it. Most roster tools don't offer it. PulseRoster makes it standard.

Common Questions

How does activity tracking work in PulseRoster?
Members log their activity (patrol hours, training time, etc.) through the PulseRoster web dashboard. Command staff set minimum hour requirements per rank, and the system tracks whether each member is meeting their target. A department dashboard shows compliance at a glance.
Can I set different activity requirements for different ranks?
Yes. PulseRoster supports rank-based activity requirements. You can set different minimums for each rank — for example, Officers might need 10 hours per week while Command Staff need 6 hours. Requirements are configured per department.
What happens to activity requirements during a leave of absence?
Activity requirements are automatically paused when a member is on an approved leave of absence. When the LOA ends, tracking resumes. No manual adjustments needed.
