Activities report in Infopath

Description

Activities report manager is an Infopath solution which automates the work with the Techedge web time report. It is dedicated to my colleagues who work in Techedge.

This project was experimental. I wanted to discover deeper the functionalities of Infopath and the opportunities for creating automation applications.

The project could have been published a couple of weeks earlier, however, in the phase of final testing I discovered that it posted data on the web time report disregarding the month's state. This means that basically it could submit data to the web time report for any period of any year. So, it took me some time to implement additional conditions to make the submitting of data available only for the open months.

How this works

Check the presentation video to see it in action:

For working with the application you need Infopath 2007 and .NET framework 2.0 installed. After the installation you will find an .XSN file which is an Infopath template. Based on it you can create new documents with your data (xml file).

Download
