django-timepiece allows employees to keep track of their time on projects.
Entries describe a period of work by a user on a particular project. Each user may only have one active entry at a time; no entries can overlap. Additionally, entries are limited to 12 hours in length.
Users can track their time through the Clock In and Clock Out views. If the user tries to clock in while another entry is active, the previous entry is clocked out at the second before the new entry is clocked in.
Users may pause their active entry by using the “Pause” button on the weekly dashboard. To resume the entry, the user must click the “Resume” button.
The user can clock into a specific project from anywhere on the site by selecting the project from the “Clock” pulldown on the navbar. This links to the Clock In view with that project and the most recent activity on that project already filled in on the form.
The dashboard gives an overview of the logged-in user’s work this week.
Each user may be clocked in to only one entry at a time. The user can view the status of their current entry on the dashboard. From this section, the user can clock out, pause/resume, or edit the current entry, or clock in or switch to a new entry.
The overall progress bar displays the number of hours that the user has worked this week (including the time so far on the active entry), out of the number of hours they are expected to work in a week (defined in the UserProfile model). If the user has gone over the expected number of hours, the overtime portion of the bar is displayed in red.
The project progress table shows how much the user has worked on each project, out of the hours they were assigned to work this week (given by the ProjectHours model). The name of the each project links to the Clock In view with that project and the most recent activity on that project already filled in on the form.
The user can see a detailed view of all of their entries for the current week. This list includes all entries that end in the current week, and does not include the active entry. Each entry has links for editing and removal.
The online users tab lists the active entries of all other users.
The ledger gives a summary of the user’s work in a given month. At the end of the month, the user can verify their entries for payroll purposes.
