The same application can be productive for one team and unproductive for another. For example, Figma is productive work for a designer and a distraction for a payroll clerk. Modge lets you override the classification per job title.

Who can do this
Owner only.
Why this matters
Without per-job-title overrides, every member sees the same productivity score for the same app. With overrides, members are scored against the apps that are relevant to their actual work, not their organization’s average.
This makes Modge’s productivity reports far more meaningful for organizations with diverse roles.
How overrides work
Each application has a default classification (productive, neutral, or unproductive). On top of that, you can add overrides for specific job titles.
When Modge calculates the productivity score for a member:
It looks at the member’s job title
If an override exists for that job title and that application, it uses the override
Otherwise, it falls back to the application’s default classification

Creating an override
Open Settings, then Classification
Find the application you want to override
Click Add override
Pick a job title and a classification
Save

You can add multiple overrides to one application (one per job title).
Editing or removing an override
Click the existing override chip to edit it or remove it. Removing an override means the job title falls back to the application’s default classification.
Members without a job title
If a member has no job title assigned, they always use the application’s default classification. Overrides only apply to members with a matching job title.
Bulk-applying overrides
If you have many overrides to set up at once, use the Bulk classify screen on the Applications page. See Bulk classifying applications.
