Tech Time Tracker

Duration: 2 Week Sprint

When working as a flat rate automotive technician, you are paid based on the work produced, not the hours worked. Historically, one would manually keep track of hours produced and compare it to the paycheck at the end of the week. Many will not keep track at all, relying solely on management to properly process production.

TechTimeTracker will make a convenient and quick way for technicians to enter their job information that happens throughout the day, take notes, describe the job and upload a picture of the Repair Order. Productivity will be tracked daily, weekly and monthly. There will be charts to display past productivity.

Development Setup Instructions

• Run npm install
• Create a .env file at the root of the project and paste this line into the file:

  SERVER_SESSION_SECRET=superDuperSecret
  

  While you're in your new .env file, take the time to replace superDuperSecret with some long random string like 25POUbVtx6RKVNWszd9ERB9Bb6 to keep your application secure. Here's a site that can help you: https://passwordsgenerator.net/. If you don't do this step, create a secret with less than eight characters, or leave it as superDuperSecret, you will get a warning.
