A Simple TimeSheet - Usage

ASTS allows a group of people to record the hours worked on a variety of Projects. Each Project can be divided into a number of different Tasks. There are global Projects and Tasks as well as personal Projects and Tasks for each user. Weekly reports by User or Project can also be generated.

NOTE: ASTS provides absolutely no security features! It assumes an environment of trust.

Select existing Projects and Tasks from the menus in the first two columns. These menus contain the items from your Personal Projects and Tasks lists (if any have been created) followed by the global items.
To clear an entry select the blank option between your personal items and the global items in the menu.
Enter new Projects and/or Tasks in the text fields in the last four rows of the table. If you want to save these new entries for future use select the Save New Projects/Tasks toggle. The new items will be saved in your Personal Projects and Tasks lists when you save the TimeSheet.
