Editing a Task's Details
==''Browser Compatibility''==
oTTs strives to achieve a uniform appearance across all browsers and has been tested extensively on Firefox 2.0 and Internet Explorer 7. Either browser must have javascript Javascript enabled for full and proper functionality to work.
For the best performaceperformance, it is suggested that FireFox 2.0 is used, and the system be viewed in full screen mode under a monitor resolution of 1024x768.
==''Getting Started''==
====Master Administrator Login Information====
'''User ID:''' master_admin<br/>
'''Password:''' master_passwordmaster_admin
===System Deployment===
====Editing a Project's Details====
To edit a project's details, press the "Edit" button located to the far right of the project's record. This will load the project's details into the form to the left. The project ID will be disabled, ; however you will be able to edit the project's name. To change a project's ID, you must delete the entire project (see [[#Deleting_a_Project|''Section 3.2.1.3 Deleting a Project'']]), and then re-add (see [[#Adding_a_Project|''Section 3.2.1.1 Adding a Project'']]) it. For reference, see ''Figure 3.2.2''. <br/>[[Image:edit_project.JPG|center|650px|Figure 3.2.2 - Editing a Project's Details]]
====Deleting a Project====
===Manage Users===
An administrator can add or edit two types of users; other administrators or students. The type of user being added or edited is determined by which radio button is selected. This radio button also determines which user table is displayed to the right. Each user is identified by a user ID, this user ID is automatically assigned by using the prefix of the user's email address. A valid email address must be entered, the prefix can only contain letters (a-z,A-Z), number (0-9), and special chacters characters of (- _ or .), they must also be longer than one character. Administration email addresses are automatically assigned the the domain of "''senecac.on.ca''", and student email addresses are automatically assigned the domain of "''learn.senecac.on.ca''". Once all of the corresponding fields have been entered and validated, the user is emailed an auto-generated password, this password should be changed as soon as possible using the ''Change Password'' function (see [[#Change_Password_Function|''Section 3.1.2 Change Password Function'']]). A description of how to add or edit each type of user is listed below.
====Adding an Administrator User====
====Adding a Student User====
To add a student, make sure the "''Student''" radio button is selected. You must enter a first and last name of the student, ; each may only be a maximum of fifty characters. An email address prefix must also be entered, ; the email prefix may only be twenty characters long. Each student must also be associated with a project. To do this, select a project name from the ''Project Name'' drop down list (the project ID is associated within this drop down list). Once all of the required fields have been entered, click the "''Add Student''" button, and the new student will be shown in the table to the right. If there are any validation errors, they will be shown below each of the fields. <br/> A group of students may be entered at one time by uploading a Comma Separated Value (CSV) File in the file upload section (see ''Figure 3.4''). <br/>The format of the file should be as follows: '''Last_Name, First_Name, Student_ID, Project_ID''', making sure that each field is separated by a comma. <br/>An example of a record in this file would look like the following:<br/>'''Doe, John, JDoe, bts630_071g01'''<br/>For reference, see ''Figure 3.4''<br/>

===Deadlines===
The administrator can create two types of deadlines: individual work deadlines for students, and project work deadlines that are to be completed by all project members.
====Adding a Deadline====
[[Image:add_deadline_1.JPG|center|650px|Figure 3.7.1 - Adding a Individual Deadline]]<br />
When selecting "''Other''" for either deadline type, a textbox will appear where you must enter a description for that item. For reference see ''Figure 3.7.2''. Once you have selected your deadline type and item name/description, you must select a due date that falls within the dates of the current semester, ; the current date is highlighted with a border in light grey. After all fields have been validated, you may click the "''Add Deadline''" button.
[[Image:add_deadline_2.JPG|center|650px|Figure 3.7.2 - Other Description]]
===Summary===
An administrator can view a table that summarizes all projects with their project files, and project members with their timesheets. A description of each view is described below in the following sections: View Timesheet and View Project File. A sample layout of the summary screen is shown in ''Figure 3.12''. <br/>[[Image:summary_1.JPG|center|650px|Figure 3.12 - Summary]]
====View Timesheet====
An administrator can view a student timesheet by clicking on the "''X''" for a selected week. If there is no "''X''" for a certain week, the student has not submitted a timesheet. If a student has been added after the start of a semester, and has missed some weeks, there will be no entry for those weeks, and it will appear that they have not submitted a timesheet for the missed weeks. For clarification, when the mouse is hovered over a student's week cell, a tooltip is displayed describing its contents. When a timesheet is selected to be viewed, the student's details are shown in the upper left hand corner, their full name, project ID and project name, and the week number for the timesheet. The timesheet lists all tasks that the student had worked on, when it was started and finished and how many hours were spent that week on the task. The timesheet also displays in the bottom right hand corner, the total hours spent that week on the project, as well as the total hours they have spent on the project over the semester. For reference, see ''Figure 3.13''.<br/>[[Image:view_timesheet.JPG|center|650px|Figure 3.13 - View Timesheet]]
====View Project File====
===Past Timesheets===
A student may view any past timesheets that are displayed on the ''Past Timesheet'' table. The timesheets displayed for every week and are are divided into two groups, timesheets that have been submitted on time, as well as timesheets that have not been submitted on time. If a student has been added after the start of a semester, and has missed some weeks, there will be no entry for either "''Submitted''" or "''Not Submitted''". For reference, see ''Figure 4.7''. <br/>[[Image:past_timesheet_1.JPG|center|650px|Figure 4.7 - Past Timesheets]]
====Viewing a Past Timesheet====

If you do not wish to assign the task, select "''Not Assigned''". Then click "''Add''" button. The popup box will then disappear. For reference, see ''Figure 4.10.4''<br/>[[Image:project_file_4.JPG|center|650px|Figure 4.10.3 - Adding a Task]]
====Editing a Task's Details====
A task may only be edited if the task hasn't been startedtherefore started, therefore a "''Edit''" button will only appear if it is allowed. To edit a task's details, click on the "''Edit''" button to the right of the task name. A popup box will sppear appear in the upper right hand corner. To edit the details, change the name in the ''Task Name'' field, and/or change the assignee, and then click "''Update''". The editing popup box will then disappear.
