TOTAL HOURS: 4.5
11:00pm - 2:00am - Finished the last of the placeholder forms - "Company", finished the new task dialog for adding a bug, finished the dialog for adding a new company. Set tab orders on dialogs. Spent the most amount of time working out how the list views would work. Came up with a way to hover over the text item in a list - and have it underline and then perform the method. Looks different in the Smart Client, so had to "play around" with different colors and styles to see what looked right. Extensive testing in Web Client and Smart Client (mainly LAF issues).
2:00am - 3:30am - Went through and changed the sizes of the forms when you have a selected object (i.e. selected person, selected project) so that the creation buttons would be visible at all times. Hooked up the "people" list so it goes to the correct detail form. Added the border around the tabs and the underline graphic to all the forms.

11:00am - 12:30am - Needed to come up with a way for a generic sort - since I'm using my own column headers on a table view. I came across a great article by David Workman on Servoy Magazine that gave me a good start. I modified the technique and got it to work on the "People" list form. Added the "Summary" section for the currently selected person.
3:30pm - 5:30pm - Changed some button sizes, added the ability to link a person to a company, added a company picker dialog. Did a lot of "tweaking" with the interface so that the other screens will go quicker (moving a lot of pixels, check, pixels, check).

3:00am - 7:00am - Finished up companies tab with details and lists of open and closed projects. Added dialog for choosing and assigning people to the company. Went back and hooked up the ability to add team members to a project. This required changing the logic for choosing a person. Hooked up delete button for removing people from companies and projects. Added table "tbl_action" for tracking all the edits and deletes. Created generic routine for adding records to the action table, and hooking them up to all the places where records are added, edited or deleted.
8:00am - 11:00 - Debugging of actions. Added list views for actions in project and "overall history" for people. Went through all the list forms and set the horizontal scrolling to off. Added "Delete" buttons for task and project. Placed the delete button on the person and company as well - but they're not yet hooked up. Added "intelligence" when deleting a project (shows the tasks, etc. in the dialog) or a task. Created new buttons for "Delete Task" that are shown/hidden only when the task detail are visible.
2:00pm - 4:00pm - Added ability for Admin people to see all projects and tasks. Hooked up delete person (with error checking and re-assigning the assigned taks to that person to "unassigned"). Re-wired the "assigned to" valuelist so it pulls only from people who are assigned to the project (not everyone). Started to change the comments so that only the top level shows on the task detail, and there is a separate form for the replies.

Can add, edit, delete replies, and fixed the display calc of the number of replies so it's clickable. Finished the documentation tab on projects. Created new document-related lists, methods and dialogs. Made the file upload its own form - so I could re-use it in other sections, and altered the methods so that it would create the right keys and altered the delete method so it would record the correct type of file being deleted. Started work on the "Versions" tab - made the basic forms.

Built the last tab - Files, and related dialogs, display fields, etc. Working on creating a clickable link for the item that the file is linked to - not working yet.
3:30pm - 5:30 - Finished the "file" tab on the select project. Got the clickable link for the item working. Debugged calcs for the display name - so the file name would truncate in the list appropriately. Tested in web client.

Added "priority" and "status" on the task summary, and cleaned up the other summary forms. Changed the behavior of the "New Project" dialog - it will now go directly into the "Assign People" dialog - so when a new task is created - the "assign to" value list will be populated. Fixed the onShow methods of documents, files, versions when there are no attached records yet. Created new forms for "your projects" and "your tasks" - so that when an admin user comes in - they can see all projects and or tasks. Added filter on the people - so that everyone except admin can see only the company(ies) they work for. Added the calculations necessary for showing which people worked in the project and what companies a particular person works for.
4:30pm - 5:00pm - Sean Devlin added the capability to select multiple people when adding team members to a project or people to a company. He also flitered the lists to show only the people not already attached.
