automated work flow system
I've got about 75% of the work flow system up and operational. I now just need to code the final 25% and squash the few bugs that I'm sure still exist. Enough of the system is, however, in place to enable people to start poking around and telling me what doesn't work and what needs to be changed. If you'd like to help test the system or plan on starting/continuing to mail out discs for us, then you'll need a login and password. To set one up, please E-mail me off list and tell me what password you'd like to use. I'll also need your name, if it's not obvious from your message. Your login will not change when the real system comes online, so you only have to set it up once. I probably don't need to tell you, but just in case... The system is not secure, so it's probably not a good idea to use your Paypal password. Currently the system will allow you to view the queue, check out requests, check them in as completed, not completable, return them to queue for someone else to complete, ETC. You can also filter the results based on the type of request (CD or DVD) and filter out requests that aren't from specific countries. The longest part of building the system (as with most systems) was getting the foundation worked out and in place. Now that that is done, new features can come more quickly. The other 25% that I will be putting in place over the next two days or so include things like allowing you to download your checked out requests in a spreadsheet format, add comments to problematic requests, automatic E-mailing of recipients when their requests are checked in as complete, and anything else you all happen to come up with. I also plan on adding statistics. It's not a high priority, but I do, like many other people, enjoy stats. :) Don't worry about playing hard on the system. It's only connected to a test database so if you break it, no harm done. Also, don't actually fulfill any of the requests you may see on the system. Like I said, it's just a test and we won't be keeping track. I realize the web design won't be winning any awards, but as long as it's functional, I'm happy. However, if you do have any simple html suggestions which would help things to look a little nicer, please don't hesitate to pass them along. However, please be specific as to exactly how something should be changed, including the html code. Sorry. It's just that html has never been my thing.
