The Time Front application was designed for Allwood Consulting for internal use.  The application helps managers track employee projects and encourages employees to utilize their time more efficiently. 

When an employee begins a project, they login to Time Front and document it.  All  employees follow strict procedures for entering or modifying data into the application. Managers can login to the system and approve or reject the employees’ entered times. The appropriate details for each user are displayed at run time based on the projects and tasks assigned. 

System administrators can send notification messages to application users when their entries are approved or rejected. These messages must be acknowledged by the user before they are granted access to the application. The application also builds reports using a custom ad hoc report generator.  These reports are designed and distributed at run time and can be exported in various formats.

The application utilizes role-based security.  Users and roles are easily added to the system at run time. Once created, roles are given modules of access which determine what permissions the user-role can perform on a given page. The Custom Tab Manager evaluates user permissions and displays, or omits, tabs accordingly.

The AC Time Keeper application accesses one Microsoft SQL Server database, which is comprised of 54 tables, 75 views, and 150 Web pages. The UserAccount_Time table is the largest table in the database.  There are approximately 100 users processing 10,000 transactions every month.

It only took one week for me to complete the Iron Speed Designer portion of this project. I spent six weeks on additional customization and application deployment.

I wrote 1,500 lines of custom code over the course of six weeks.

Major customizations include:  

	Modified XSL templates to allow custom controls and functionality on every page
	Custom coded time entry pages which are integrated with Telerik Tooltip controls
	Modified security model to support dynamic roles and user accounts
	Implemented custom grid pages based on DevExpress grid control

In addition to these customizations, I incorporated several third-party controls, they include: Telerik, DevExpress, and Izenda.

We applied several page layout customizations, including:

	Application-specific design
	Custom support menus
	Custom drop down filters
	Dynamic help on application pages

I do plan to extend the application in the future using Iron Speed Designer. Eventually more users will access the application, and we will deploy additional sites.

Jason is so enthusiastic about Iron Speed Designer that he now refuses to create an application without it. He feels all application development is possible using Iron Speed Designer.
