|
|
|
|
|
|
A
Software Developers Toolkit (SDK) is now available as an optional Module. |
|
|
Allows organizations that have development skills to
customize their Time® implementation in a safe, future proof manner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Future Proof™.
Timewatch's SDK is designed to provide
the perfect solution, combining the stability and cost effectiveness of a
Packaged Solution, with the flexibility of a Bespoke solution, but with the
issues. The SDK allows organizations that have development skills to use the
same COM Object that we ourselves use to manage the database. This means that
you can develop applications that use our routines so that when we bring out a
new version, your applications continue to run. In addition, you can embed
application onto the centraltime™ menu to make them look like
part of the Standard System, and even create Help for your applications that
run within our Help system. |
|
|
Allows you to make Time® match your requirements
perfectly, whilst maintaining a future upgrade path. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SDK includes a future proof COM Object to allow you to
write applications that use standard centraltime™ functions to communicate with
the database. |
|
|
Provides a developer friendly toolkit through which
applications can be developed to work with centraltime™ functions in a safe, future
proof environment that will continue to operate with new versions of
centraltime™. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SDK also includes access to our OnEvent system which
allows Business Process Logic to be diverted or amended. This powerful facility
allows internal operations to be safely and securely altered to match your
business needs. Examples include modification of information in drill downs,
changes to the processing of invoices or the inclusion of processing specific
to your organization. All, safe, secure and FutureProof™. |
|
|
Allows modification or diversion of internal code/logic to
match your business processes. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The SDK also includes the Menu Builder to allow applications
to be added to centraltime™ Menus. This, combined with the
COM Object allows you to create your own extensions to centraltime™, then add them into the system
in such a way that the user does not know it is a part of the standard
system |
|
|
Allows you to create your own extensions to
centraltime™, then
add them into the system in such a way that it appears to the user as a part of
the standard system. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
With the SDK you can also customize the centraltime™ Help system
to include details on any extensions that you have created for your
organization. Timewatch even provide a Help Documentation Service to take a
Word Document and build it into the Help system, or we can train you how to do
it. Again, as you'd expect, this service is future proof and will continue to
operate with future versions of centraltime™. |
|
|
Increases user friendliness and ease of use. Help for
Standard Packaged product and your customizations are all served from the same
help system creating an image of seamlessness between centraltime™ and your customizations. |
