Web-based timesheeting system that exports TKS files

TKS-Web

A web application for entering simple time-tracking information in a calendar-style week view. The data is stored in a database (SQLite by default) and can be exported in TKS format. The web interface is designed to be used from either a desktop or a mobile browser.

Each activity will have the following attributes

• start time (date + time)
• duration (minutes in multiples of 15)
• work request number
• activity description
• backend system identifier

It is assumed that metadata required for billing is stored in the relevant backend system and referenced by the work request number.

Once activities have been entered into the database they can be exported in TKS format.

The user interface is implemented in Javascript using Backbone, jQuery, jQueryUI, Handlebars and jquery.event.ue for unified mouse/touch event handling.

The backend is implemented in Perl using the Dancer framework.

tksweb's Issues

Make units_per_hour a config value

It would be great if users could easily configure the number of units in which they want to timesheet. The standard is 15 minutes, but someone might want to timesheet in smaller / larger increments.

Being able to set the value in the config instead of public/js/tksweb.js would be great.

Overlapping activities are possible

It's possible to create overlapping activities. One way to do this is:

• Load the week view
• Create an activity
• Click on the WRMS link to display the WR
• Click back
• The activity that was added will not be displayed (until the screen is refreshed)
• A new activity can now be added over the top of the existing one.

There are possibly other ways to do this.

It should probably:

• Reject overlapping activities on the back-end (and return an error to the front-end if this is attempted)
• Fix the issue where newly created activities are not displayed after clicking back (if this is possible)
