Case Study: Bechtel Infrastructure

 

Highlights:

  • Simple Time Accounting - Tracks time spent in CAD drawings by user, workstation, date/time in/out, elapsed time and user defined project/id codes

  • Multi-User/Network Support - All workstations can be configured to write to a common log file on the network, even using different  versions of MicroStationTM


    Optional Project/Id Prompt
  • Tracks Only Active Time - Does not report time spent in a file after a user-specified period of inactivity (idle time) has elapsed to provide an accurate reflection of time worked on drawing

  • Supports Multiple CAD Sessions  - Tracks only the time in the "active" session when multiple CAD sessions (files) are open

  • Automatic Project Coding - Option to automatically "look up" a project code from an external ASCII file based on the path of the drawing without a prompt.

  • Manual Project/Task Coding - Option to prompt for selection of a Project and ID to code with time/activity upon entering drawing

  • Database Ready Log File - CSV Format output file is database/ spreadsheet ready to import

  • Auto-Log File Creation - Option to auto create and name output log files based on user defined time interval such as yearly, monthly (i.e., April-2008.csv for April 2008), weekly, daily or hourly

  • Light Footprint - Simple installation, no complicated registry or operating system installation

  • 100% Transparent - TimeTracker (tt.ma) can be configured to automatically run at MicroStation startup as a Design Application (MS_DGNAPPS)

  • Secure - Once loaded TimeTracker cannot be manually unloaded
