Hi Bobby, Well... alright. I guess my point of the post was to say that sometimes you just need to roll your own. =P However, sure. I can set up a log-in for CF-Talk users. Not a problem. http://www.viviotech.net/timesheet2/index.cfm user - cftalk pass - cftalk org# - 1015 We haven't tested the additional organizations feature very extensively, so you may get an error or two while working with it. Please feel free to let me know about these off-list if you'd like. The CFTalk user is an admin user - meaning he's the head of a development team at a specific location. He has employees (users) who work for him and can clock in and out of their time sheet - tracking their time. I've also entered in some demonstration data so you get the idea of it better. When you log in as the CFTalk user, you will be taken to a page that displays your employees (left side) and your clients (right side). Each employee has their own log in, and each client has their own log in. Each client also has a list of projects, and tasks within those projects. For example, when designing a new site for someone, this may be broken down into tasks like Logo Design, Web Design, and Web programming. You are free to break down your task lists however you choose. Once the client, projects, and tasks are created, your employees (or subcontractors, whatever) can log in to the time sheet and record the time that they put into that particular project. When they clock out, they are provided with a text box where they are supposed to write down detailed notes about what they did during that time. Once they've logged the time, the CFTalk user can review that time as well as the notes, and mark how much of that time is actually billable to the client and at what rate to bill for it. On the client side of things, they can log in and see the list of projects and tasks that you've created for them. They can also see the time that your programmers have put in for them, as well as notes that the developer wrote about what they did during the time that they put in. The client should also be able to see what amount of time is billable that the admin said was billable. It's still a work in progress. There is an "advanced management" thing that we've started that is intended to set goals for each project, and track how well we're meeting those goals, etc. We've also got a lot of ideas on how we can improve reporting. Hope this helps!
