General questions before deploying for production use.
Posted: Mon May 08, 2017 9:05 am
Good morning,
I recently deployed the latest TimeTrex (10.6.0) Community Edition on a Debian VM. The instance is running great, but before I deploy it for production use/testing, I'd just like to see if someone can help me with a few questions I have.
1. When an employee goes to the "punch-in/punch-out" page, is there an option to make the date and time fields editable? I understand that for certain organizations, this would defeat the purpose of the function, but in our instance, our employees enter their total hours worked at the end of the week. Currently, the fields are grayed out. If this is not a stock system option, would someone be able to point me to the page or file that contains the source for the punch-in/out page? I'm reasonably comfortable with editing code in PHP.
2. Is it possible to export custom field data in the Community Edition? When selecting the fields to export, I do not see any of the custom fields I've created. Perhaps I've just missed where they can be set to export, but I don't see any mention of exporting them in the documentation.
3. In the future, will custom fields ever have an attribute set to allow dropdown menus? Currently, custom field entries are simple text fields. If this is not in the plans, could someone point me to the code for the "punch-in/out" page where the custom fields are pulled/defined? If I were to implement a simple select element for a dropdown menu, there should be no issues, correct?
Thank you in advance for any help.
