Concept

The innovaphone Service Working App is an app for tracking working hours. There is an user app (Working) to start/stop time tracking (clock style) or add entries manually. This entries must be confirmed to be displayed on the admin app and once they are confirmed they cannot be edited anymore. There is also an admin app (Working Admin) to display the working time information for all users and where the configuration settings can be changed. The app is designed to help employees and employeres to easily track working hours.

How it works

The first time a user starts the Working App on myApps a new entry is created in the database for this user, based on the "Name" of this user, which will be used to store all the working hours entries, vacation days, sick days and national holidays. Entering the working hours is a two step task, because after defining the start/stop time it is also necessary to "confirm/submit" these hours as correct, after the confirmation is done the user can't change them anymore and they will be displayed on the admin app.

In the Working Admin App the list of the users' names is based on the "Display Name", if no DN is set then the "Name" will be used. The app adds a red mark when an user does not fulfill the working hours regulation. Here the settings for the periodic emails can be configured and also if the user is allowed or not to confirm the working hours that do no fulfill the regulation.
