Low-Code Timesheet Application

This low-code application simulates a basic timesheet in which users can clock in and out to log their work hours. Hours can be logged the following ways:

  • Clicking the "Clock In" icon at the top of the timesheet grid to clock in or add a new timesheet entry with the current time as the default.
  • Clicking the "Clock Out" icon next to the Clock Out time entry
  • Editing the date and time entry text boxes directly and then clicking the "Update Timesheet" icon on the left side of that grid entry.

Users can also edit the span of dates to see hours worked in previous weeks.

A visual representation of the timesheet functionality is shown below. Additionally, all icons will display a nifty tooltip when hovered over.

In this application, there are hourly employees, salaried employees, and all-powerful administrators.

Upon logging in as an hourly employee, the employee timesheet screen will appear. Using this screen, the employee can log their work hours and view how many hours they've worked, along with a calculated estimate of the gross paycheck earned from those work hours.

Salaried employees can also log their hours, but because they are on salary, these hours will not affect their gross paycheck.

Logging in as an administrator will feature a more administrative experience.

  • The first screen will feature a grid of employees within the company. To select an employee, simply click the icon on the left side of the grid.
  • The second screen is very similar to the employee timesheets, with the exception of the administrator's name in the top right corner. The administrator can log hours for each employee, as well as view the hours worked and estimated paychecks.

In some routines, you can find steps labeled as "Calculate Hours". This is custom code!

Custom Node.js code can be

  1. Added as a step in a routine directly OR
  2. Created by converting an existing step to code by clicking the Node.js logo on the step's header.

This specific custom code was created using the second method and then altered to tally up the selected employee's hours.

Database-driven Widgets

In this sample application, a drop-down list of user emails is provided on the login screen using the database-driven widgets. Simply type in a letter and a select an existing employee email address from the resulting dropdown menu.

The widgets in Profound.js Spaces can be populated directly with database information through simple configuration. Simply fill out the related fields in the Database-Driven Auto-Complete section and the connection to the database is established automatically.
