Authorize Date Move Request - The Concept

In TimeMaker, any Production Task, Command or Plan assigned to be executed has a Target Date. A Target Date is the date by which the task needs to be completed.

At times a task cannot be executed on time and the Performer should submit a Date Move request to the Owner of the task. A Date Move request acts as notice to the task’s Owner that the task may not be completed on time, and allows the Owner to approve or disapprove the request to change the Target Date and handle the consequences of the change.

Above is a simple situation. A more complex situation occurs when the organization is composed of multiple command layers.

Let’s take an example of a simple organization:

ANOTHER TIME MAKER POWERFUL FEATURE EXPANDED

PLAN’S USER’S RIGHTS

Plan’s user rights define the rights a user or users has over a plan or part thereof. By default, the system will grant the user rights for a plan or part of a plan based on the user function in the plan however, the plan’s Owner or a senior may grant any of the rights to any user in the system.

The following are the TimeMaker’s Plans user rights:

Owner’s Rights - Owner’s Rights gives full control over the plan and its steps.

Sub Owner’s Rights - Sub Owner’s Rights gives Performer rights to the Plan (Performer can see the plan and perform Date Move request, Clarification request, Reject, Completion Report, Redirect as well as the basic actions - Data Interchange, Query). The Sub Owner’s Rights allow the user to act as Owner on the planss sub items.

Performer’s Rights - At the TimeMaker the Planss Performer is the Owner of all the Plan’s sub items. Performer’s Rights gives the Performer the ability to perform Date Move request, Clarification request, Reject, Completion Report, Redirect as well as the basic actions - Data Interchange, Query. A user with Performer’s Right can not insert, delete, activate or deactivate steps of the plan.

Read Only Rights - Read Only Rights gives the user the ability to only see the plan and its steps with no other rights.

Limited info Rights - Limited info Rights gives the user the ability to see the Plan’s subject only. The user will not see the Plan’s body and will not see the Plan’s steps.

Inherited Right - Inherited Rights is a kind of ‘restore default rights’ right. When selecting this right the user will be assigned the rights based on his function at the plan and its steps - the Owner will get Owner’s Right and the Performers will inherent the Performer’s Rights.

Bacause TimeMaker is more complex system than e-mail, we need different columns. In previous versions there was two columns, similar to e-mail. We called them Sent Date and Target Date. It was little confusing for end users, that the Target Date is containing Received date. Also was not possible to organize Inbox be recieving date, because production task have in Target Date it’s Target Date. Therefor we has implemented in TimeMaker version 1.0.1.289 new columns in Communication: Received Date and Tag Date.

From now date columns contains those values:

Production Task: Sent Date - date of send, Received Date - date of receive, Target Date - target date of task, Tag Date - tag date, if not set then target date

Other Items (Messages,E-mails, etc..) : Sent Date - date of send, Received Date - date of receive, Target Date - date of receive, Tag Date - date of receive

NEWER, EXCITING AND EVEN MORE AMAZING IN TimeMaker - Leadership Software

SENIOR DATE MOVE FEATURE EXPANDED

THE PROBLEM:
In TimeMaker (like in life) Production Tasks , Commands and Plans have Target Dates and sometimes they need to be moved.

The mechanism for moving a Target Date is:
1. The Performer of the task realizes he is not going to complete the task by the assigned Target Date.
2. The Performer asks for a Date Move from the Owner of the task.
3. The Owner of the task may or may not approve the date move request.

At times it happens that the Owner of the task is the junior of the Performer and so the Performer of the task has Senior Rights (he can act as an Owner in regards to the task) and so has the ability to Bypass as Owner . In such a case, it sometime dose not make sense for the Performer (who is a senior of the Owner) to ask for approval to move the Target Date. The senior should have the ability to move the date without asking his junior for approval.

THE HANDLING:
As of version 1.0.1.293, TimeMaker allows the senior, as part of his Senior Rights options, to execute a Date Move without asking for approval from the Owner (his junior).

The mechanism for moving the Target Date in this case is:
1. The Performer of the task realizes he is not going to complete the task by the assigned Target Date.
2. The Performer uses his Senior Rights and uses Bypass As Owner option and executes a Date Move.
3. The Owner of the task receives a notification that the item’s Target Date has been moved.

In a case when the Owner wants to move the date of the task the Owner will execute a Date Move and the Performer (If diffrent than the Owner) will get a notice of the change in the target date.

A new feature has been implemented in version 1.0.1.303 - TimeMaker now support Skype!!!

When one opens a contact, in the fields that contain phone numbers or skype user name a button apear for Calling, SMSing or Chating.

Next we will implement the ability to dial a number from the TimeMaker Contact list through Skype.

In TimeMaker Plans we have those user rights:

Owner - have full control over the plan and all steps of the plan.

Sub Owner - have same rights as perfomer over the plan it self, but have full control over all steps of the plan.

Performer - of the plan is always owner of all steps of the plan. Except the actions of the performer, no other rights allowed. Performer also can’t insert, delete, activate or deactivate steps of the plan.

Read Only - have only right to see plan, no changes allowed. Same is for the steps of the plan.

Header Only - have only on read only rights on plan, except the body. No rights over the steps of the plan.

Inherited - this is special right. It means that user can ask system to get his rights over the steps of the plan based on the rights of the plan.
