need a clocking in software
hey all,
bit of a strange request but am after some software (preferably) free to do the following:
- allow multiple users with unique login capability
- each user can specify time start and time finished
- the user can select an area for the start and finish time
- its recorded in a database to allow viewing in the future
- it can be accessed from any computer on a network
anyone know of any software out there that is free to do this? or has anyone designed something similar they are willing to share?
the purpose of this isnt to actually check employees working times but more for audit purposes to show that there was an individual within the
department between those times. we can do it on paper but paper can get lost/misplaced.
thanks all.

You could write that in PHP in about an hour....Run it on a web server with a MySQL database... and its accesible from anywhere

If I knew enough php I would do it but my knowledge only goes as far as doing minor modifications

We use something called standard time for recording time against jobs, sits in the tray and you just right click and pick the job you are working on
and right click again and select stop to stop the time.
Not free but it is very very good, http://www.stdtime.com/
I would imagine there is something in the free software world that would mimick it.

I used to have something in Perl to do something similar (but much more complex as it was used for costing too).
I'll have a look around and see if I can find the database structure (it was MySQL) and knock up a quick PHP jobbie. If you can do minor mods
then that would be best as you can then have a skeleton to play with. From what I remember the original was all done with style sheets too so it was
easily editable.
I'll have a look at my archive CDs this week and see what I can find. If could probably ditch 70% of the code as it was for
security/costing/interfaces and be a simple data entry.

A quick Google brings up this software, I've had a quick read of it, but you know what you're after

Sounds like the free one would probably be better for you that something run up quickly. Although its an access database behind it, at least the
transactions should be quick enough not to cause too many multi user problems.

i've seen the free one but it looks as if it uses a picture to document who it was that clocked in. i was hoping to have a login
username/password for each user instead.

It does seem to keep a database of usernames, but interfaces to another product (for £££) if you don't want to just edit the list yourself.
