Hi Folks,
I have my own small company, and have been trying to learn Applescript
for the past 18 months. I still need a lot of help...
My next project is to build an application to controll Time attendance
in my small company handling 12 employees, replacing a 15 year old
mechanical clock.
The application will be built in AppleScript Studio, please forgive me
for posting my topic here, but I trully believe that the help I need
has nothing to do really with a graphical interface... It is basic
project planning, string and time handling...
I might begin testing the app, clicking buttons on the interface, and
end up using a bar code on card to register the employee's attendance
finnally, but this is not really so important at this moment.
My concerns are involving how I should approach the basic functionality
of my app. How it records the data, handles it returning to me values
and reports.
The objective of my app is:
1) Register in a log file when my employee comes in the morning, goes
out for lunch, comes back from lunch and finally when leaves work,
going home.
2) Once a month (may be weekly) I will need to print the current report
and collect the employees signature, saying that he/she agrees with the
text recorded.
3) Once a month I will need to email my accountant a number of worked
hours for each of the 12 employees.
My thoughts:
My idea is to create a folder at ~/Library/Application
Support/NameOfMyAPP/ , and eventually place all text files there.
(logs)
I am not certain if I should record one big long log file and try to
get my data out it, once a month or build individual files for each
employee, or even folders for employees, with separate text files for
each day or week, or month. ---> Please comment....
One idea is to write lines such as these:
Employee Named John Smith entering work at morning at Tuesday, 05 July,
2005 08:07:17 AM
or
Employee Named John Smith leaving for lunch at Tuesday, 05 July, 2005
012:02:45 AM
Would you be so kind to comment my thoughts and how you would approach
the solution?
How would you extract the values for each employee/month etc..?
Thank you for kind attention reading this long email,
