With
TimeCard for Outlook users plan and report their
time inside Outlook Calendar. The workgroup version
is intended for several users who report their time
to a central MS Access or SQL database. The time reports
can be sent there directly or via an ASP-page. To continue using the TimeCard workgroup
version after the 30 days trial period you need to
buy a Organizational license.
Support Customers: For reporting directly to Access or SQL database the
upgrade is automatic. You only have to download and
run the Setup file. Remember that each client has to upgrade the Client Tools as well. From each client machine, go into the
TimeCard root file folder on the network drive and run the file TimeCardClientSetup.exe.
For reporting via ASP, some
manual steps has to be taken, refer to
instructions for ASP
upgrade. Evaluators: See below for instructions on
new installation!
For detailed information about installation,
settings and use, refer to the downloadable
Manual
and the online
Demonstrations.
Languages TimeCard for Outlook supports 15 European languages,
and the language is automatically set to the same as
of the operative system. If that should be a language
not supported, English is used instead.
The TimeCard
toolbar is shown in the Outlook calendar:
Download the .exe-file
Download a zipped file
If you have
problems downloading an .exe-file you can try this alternative,
which downloads a .zip-file. When you extract the .zip-file
you will get the .exe-file from the download above.
Procedure:
1. Save the .zip file.
2. Extract the .zip file:
3. Click the file TimeCardWorkgroupSetup.exe to perform
the installation.
New installation In the downloaded file,
TimeCardWorkgroupSetup.exe, all the installation
files are wrapped. When you run the installation it
first unzips those files and then configures
Outlook.
Click the downloaded file, and perform the installation
into any shared file folder on your server. Also install
the Client Tools when you are prompted to do so. The settings of TimeCard for Outlook,
Workgroup version, are defined in two steps:
The administrator defines the TimeCard
properties in Common settings. These properties
are the extra information that needs to be gathered
from users, besides date, start time, end time and
subject for each appointment. Common settings are
stored in the central database.
With Personal settings, each user defines
which of the centrally defined TimeCard properties
he or she will use. By avoiding free text, time
reporting is made quicker and more error-free. When
each user regularly sends their time reports into
the central database, each post will contain information
about user, date, start time, end time, duration,
subject and TimeCard properties.
