The Gantt Chart is a modern and extremely easy-in-use project plan system. This system allows you to specify complex tasks sequences - a task or multiple tasks can be required to be completed before other tasks can be started. This modern and extremely handy program makes project management a real pleasure. It allows any specialist to create a profile to run a personal schedule. The program enables users to switch between profiles to view the schedule of any staff member, it is also possible to view multiple profiles simultaneously or open the schedules of several specialists at the same time. Once you’ve specified a required sequence, it is automatically visualized across a horizontal timeline. Task dependency is shown via connector lines. This software tool can display completion percentage for each individual task. An overall progress indication option is also available. You can edit task dependencies, create new task connectors and of course re-schedule individual tasks. The program also has the Auto Backup feature that allows saving the data to the secured archive. What is important, the data from Gantt Chart can be exported to many different formats, like MS Outlook, XML, HTML, XLS and TXT. It is also possible to import the data into the program. The program has a built-in Print Designer, which offers a variety of original templates and options to make a fine and clear printout of a schedule. There is a low-priced edition of the product for a workgroup that allows users to work simultaneously over the network.

1. Assign permissions to all items separated from list permission settings. There are times when you need to control permissions to all items but not want to inherit permissions from parent list permission settings. SharePoint Permission Boost Workflow can solve this problem instead of manually setting permissions to each item. With it, permission settings will be automatically applied to each item when this item is created or modified; 2. Assign ITEM-RELATED users or groups permissions to each item. For instance, in a task list, you want the assignee of one task, but not some specified users or groups, to have read permission to this task. Since each task item has its own assignee, it will be difficult if you set read permission to each item when assignee is appointed or changed. SharePoint Permission Boost Workflow brings in a concept named “TEM-RELATED users or groups” which actually means user or group columns in a list, to solve this problem. 3. Assign users or groups read/edit permissions to list columns. SharePoint does not define column permissions by default, but SharePoint Permission Boost controls column permissions by overwriting some control templates.

ManicTime automatically collects data on your computer usage. It records active and away time, as well as which applications you used and for how long you used them. The data ManicTime collects is stored in a local database on your computer. Collected data is private, which means it is not transmitted anywhere or shared with anyone. Having a local database also enables you to use ManicTime offline, without an Internet connection.

Collected data is presented using timelines. There are three predefined timelines:

Activity: Shows your active time and away(idle) time

Applications: Shows which application you used, when and for how long

Tags: Shows tags you created. This timeline is not automatically generated it is filled with time tags you entered.

When you move your mouse over a timeline, each timeline shows you a hint about an underlying activity. Hint displays detailed information about an activity such as title, application name, start and end times and duration.

Once data is collected you can use our simple click and drag feature to accurately tag how you spent your time. For example you can easily select time between when you came to work and when you left for lunch break. Because there is so much data available about your computer usage, you are able to tag spent time for days in the past. You can also select and tag the time a computer was not running or when you were away(idle).

Based on this data you can also generate various statistics. You can easily find out how much time you spend behind a computer or how much time you spend browsing the web. Time tagging allows you to see how you spent your time based on your own time tags. So based on your time tags you are able to see for example how much time you spent on a certain project or even a specific feature. If for example you tagged the time it takes you to get to work, you would be able to see how much time you loose in transit.

TimeSage is a tool for general time recording, e.g. tracking hours worked on different projects. It aims to make creation, usage, and management of projects with attached time sheets / tables, notes etc. as fast, easy, and free-style capable as possible. The time collision detection is useful in cases where, instead of just using the “Start” and “Stop” clock functions, manual editing of time has been done. Salary options allow for a wide range of configurations: E.g. breaktime, worktime, overtime etc. all weekdays. Systray and configurable hotkey support (latter can open/close either a “quick menu”). Intelligent timesheet behavior: Automatic handling of “time entry crosses midnight” etc.
