Overview
The Control Centers in WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile include many tools to help developers manage their schedules and the different associated tasks.
To manage the tasks and the schedule:
  1. Create and configure the database of the Control Centers (if necessary).
  2. Configure the Project Management Hub (schedules, holidays, etc.).
  3. Work on a task.
  4. Work on an incident.
Step 1: Control Center database
The database of Control Centers groups various information shared by the different modules found in WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile.
Configuring the database of Control Centers consists in indicating the location of this database and the format of the files used. This step is very important.
Step 2: Set up the Project Management Hub
To manage the tasks and the schedule, the Project Management Hub must be started and configured.
Note: In this section, only the configuration required to use tasks and planning is covered.. We assume that the Project Manager has defined the contributors, the schedule, the tasks and requirements. For more details, see How to manage a development project.
To start the Project Management Hub:
  1. Launch the Project Management Hub from WINDEV, WEBDEV or WINDEV Mobile: under the "Tools" pane, in the "Control Centers" group, click on "Project Management".
  2. Log in to launch the Project Management Center using your username and password.
  3. By default, the Project Management contains four tabs:
    • Dashboard.
    • The task list entered by the Project Manager.
    • The incidents.
    • The requirements.
Conseil: For each project, it is possible to create a specific debugging task (with an estimated duration of 0).. This task allows you to use the time management when debugging the application.

Configuring schedules and holidays

To configure your schedules:
  1. Expand Project Management Hub menu and select "Schedules and holidays".
  2. Specify the working days and the working hours (days and hours during which you will be working). For more details, see Configuring schedules.
  3. Validate.
Enter the corresponding holidays if you know them.
  1. Expand Project Management Hub menu and select "Schedules and holidays".
  2. Specify the working days and the working hours (days and hours during which you will be working). For more details, see Configuring holidays.
  3. Validate.

Configuring the time management help

The time spent on a task is calculated differently, depending on whether the time management help is enabled or not.
If time management support is enabled: The calculation of time spent on a task takes into account:
  • the information specified in the task wheel and in the window for managing the current task. The working hours and the working days specified in the options of Project Management Hub are ignored.
  • the automatic lock of the current task when closing the Windows session.
  • the automatic lock of current task when closing the Project Management Hub of WINDEV, WEBDEV and WINDEV Mobile.
In this case, the information entered in the schedule configuration is taken into account only when establishing the schedule. The schedule takes into account the time really spent.
If time management support is not enabled: Calculation of time spent on a task takes into account only the times and days worked specified in the schedule configuration. The "overtime" is not taken into account.
To configure the time management help:
  1. Expand Project Management Hub menu and select "Options".
  2. Click "Time management help" and enable or disable the time management help. For more details, see Time management help.
Step 3: Working on a task
To work on a task:
  1. Display the Project Management Hub by using one of the following methods:
    • on the "Tools" tab, in the "Control Centers" group, click "Project Management".
    • display the "Project Management Hub" pane: under the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, pull down "Panes" and select "Panes" then "Project Management Hub".
  2. Select the desired task and click "Start task" in the context menu.
  3. If a task is already in progress, the Project Management Hub automatically proposes to suspend or to end the current task.
  4. When the task is completed, simply click "Complete task" in the context menu.
Step 4: Working on a customer incident
To work on a Customer incident:
  1. Display the Project Management Hub by using one of the following methods:
    • on the "Tools" tab, in the "Control Centers" group, click "Project Management".
    • display the "Project Management Hub" pane: under the "Home" pane, in the "Environment" group, pull down "Panes" and select "Panes" then "Project Management Hub".
  2. For each project, create a specific debugging task (with a duration estimated to 0). This task allows you to use the time management when debugging the application.
  3. Start the debugging task corresponding to the Customer project.
  4. Fix the incidents. The incidents are visible in the "Incidents" panes of Project Management Hub.
  5. On the "Incidents" tab, flag the incident as fixed.
    Tip: It is advisable to give details of the correction when validating the incident.. Indeed, the specified text will be automatically used in the help for the new features when creating the application setup.
  6. Change task if necessary.

Note: Creating a task from a customer incident

In some cases, a problem signaled by a customer may require a proper development task.
In this case, a development task can be created from a customer incident directly from the "Incidents" pane.
For more details, see Managing incidents.
