As always your guys' input means a lot, you helped with various previous tools and it worked out great.

A while back I posted regarding the best way to handle a time off tracker tool with calendar objects: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=84490

I went ahead and began development a couple of weeks ago.

Can I get feedback on what looks silly / interface issues.

Monthly view to log time off:


Yearly view (users wanted to see the entire year and navigate through that, besides just monthly view):


Logging the request:


Views (dept):


More...




PS Graz / Admins: When I tried to create a new topic and I wasnt logged in I put my user name and password at the topic form. I completed the message and clicked "Post New Topic" but no luck it kept saying bad user name and password. Only until I logged into the site did this work ?

RE login - I get just the same. If I get here via a bookmark and I have cleared my cookies or something since my last visit I have to log in, close down the window and come back again. It's like you're tryin' to keep me out

I have a suggestion about the Time off tracker which is a little of topic but may be of interest.

One of the things I am expected to do as a manager is to monitor sick leave. If there is a suspicion of a problem, one of the tools that we use looks very similar to the yearly view screenshot you have. It would for example highlight something like - the person has two sick days every four weeks - or other patterns that may exist which aren't immediately obvious when you just look at a set of dates.

So for example if sick leave was shown on your tracker (as well as planned leave/leave requests) in a different colour it would be clearer if there was a pattern to any of it - for example we once had someone who was off sick at particular time of the year (a day or two after particular festivals). This was clearer after using this tool

(First SS) The one thing about the new calendar controls I HATE are the arrows to change the month. Unless you use AJAX, it will post back EVERY STINKING TIME you click to change the month.
(Third SS) This is how I try and get around it. Give them a text box to actually type in the date so they dont have to click back 9 months and be annoyed. (Since we cannot use AJAX here, yet)

muchos gracias, good idea...

DonAtWork,
I hate that too, I avoided it in the yearly view, but the monthly view its still on there. I could easily create a drop down selecting month and year....but I think it might be too late now :-).
