ProjecTime entry
|
Important Remarks
- This is the first final release. Please report bugs if you find one
- Use Netscape Communicator 4.5 (4.51 on PC) or better or HotJava
1.1.4 or better
A very small guide
- If data entered is invalid the background of the field gets yellow
- If the background of the field gets red there was a database
access problem. Please open the Java console of your browser and try
to repeat this and let
me
know the message shown in the Java console.
To open the Java console click Communicator -> Tools -> Java
Console (on Netscape Communicator) or View -> Show Console
(on HotJava).
- Move the mouse pointer over the Complete Week button to get
the total time entered this week. This button checks your total time
against the rated time (time expected you work per week). The Button
color shows you
- Red: Total time below 20% of rated time
(you can't complete the week)
- Yellow: Total time below 80% of rated time
- Green: Total time between 80% and 120% of rated time
- Yellow: Total time above 120% of rated time
- If you complete a week you cannot go back and you will
get the next week.
- Use the "Add Project" and "Remove Project" to add or remove selected
projects to/from your list.
- You can't remove a project from your list if there are entered values
on it.
Troubleshooting
- A part of the user interface gets red but nothing happens
If there is a database access problem, the affected part (e.g.
button, choice) is colored red and may display the text DATABASE
ERROR. In this case try to repeat the operation. The Applet tries
to reconnect to the database automatically. If this does not work
contact your database administrator.
- Can't enter data on the time fields (Netscape)
See next paragraph below.
- Employee and Project choices does show just one entry (Netscape)
You need to restart the ProjecTime Applet. As Netscape does NOT
restart the applet if you reload the page, you need to force Netscape
to do so by selecting Netscapes Location: field (where this
pages URL shows) and pressing Return
.
This happens if you are comming back to this page using the 'Back'
button.
Entry tool

- Start ProjecTime Entry
This takes a while to start.
Reports
Based on the data entered using the entry tool above there are several
reports available. They are generated on the fly by using java servlets.
- Project report
Lists all projects. You may get more details about individual
projects from there.
- Employee report
Shows a list of all employees and their total time entered for the
last few weeks. You may get detailed Time Sheet like information
for individual weeks/employees from there.
Administration tool
To setup and change Employees, Projects, Companies and Jobs in the
database use the administration tool.
Sorry, disabled due to firewall restrictions accessing the RDBMS.
