Tidrapport is a weekly time sheet program for the PalmPilot. The program keeps
track of the time you have spent on different tasks during a week. You can enter
the working time for each task or simply tap on the PalmPilot when you start and
stop working with the task.


Installing

Use HotSync to install the file Tidrapport.prc on the PalmPilot. The program
works on any PalmPilot with PalmOS 2.0 or later.


Using Tidrapport

When you use the program for the first time you should define some tasks. Tap on
the "Edit Task" button and on the "New" button to open a task dialog window. You
can now enter a name for a task. The name will be shown in the left most column
in the time sheet view. You can also enter some more information for the task, a
company name, status code, art code and project number. This information is
currently not used, but in the future the information will be transferred to a PC
during a HotSync operation.


The week view

You can now start reporting time. Tap in the left most column in the week view to
insert a task. A popup menu appears there you can select a task. If you normally
reports time on the same tasks each week it may be convenient to let the program
automatically insert the tasks in left most column. Select "Save as Default Week"
in the Options menu to save the current week as a template for all new weeks.

You can switch week by a tapping on the week arrows or pressing the scroll
buttons. It is also possible to go directly to a week. Tap on the "Go to..."
button and select a week.

To enter a time for a task, simply tap in the cell for a day and a task. A time
dialog box appears where you can enter a time.


Time dialog box

In the time dialog box you can enter the time for a task. Enter the work period
and optionally a lunch period and the program will show the total time in hours
and minutes below. Before the total time entered in the week view it is rounded
to nearest half hour. In the preferences dialog you can select to round the time
do nearest 6, 12, 30 or 60 minutes.

The start and stop button may be used to insert the current time as the start or
end time for the work period.

It is also possible to make a quick enter of a time by tapping on one of the
buttons with a predefined time at the bottom of the dialog box. You can change
the values of the quick enter buttons in the Preferences dialog.


Shareware

Tidrapport is a shareware program. You can try it for an evaluation period. After
30 days you must pay the shareware fee if you want to continue to use the
program. You can pay online at http://order.kagi.com/?1US&S. The price is US $10.
In return you get a registration number which removes the annoying register
dialog during program startup.
