ATR Web is an integral part of a more complicated Time Report system, which includes client, server and web parts:
- ATR Client application is used by each company's employee as a tool to report the time spent by the employee to fulfill various projects. Initially, such information is stored in ATR Client local database but each employee has to upload the information to ATR Server database regularly.
- ATR Server database is used to collect time reports from all company's employees either through ATR Client or ATR Web applications. Moreover, ATR Server database stores the bulk of vital parameters, which provide correct operation of ATR Web application. The lists of customer companies and projects in employees' local databases can also be updated from ATR Server database.
- ATR Web application is used to analyze information received from all employees in a number of specifically designed layouts, to add/edit/delete employee's working hours, to change the list of clients, companies and projects. What is more, ATR Web serves the needs of all parties (i.e. employees, project managers and customers) engaged in product development process providing the program features and specifically designed interfaces for them to be able to retrieve as much information as they need to know.
