This is a java program that helps users manage their employees and projects. The program allows users to add employees, create new projects, assign employees to activities and register hours spent on them The program also allows the user to appoint project leaders on projects and set estimated time on how long an activity should take.
You can run the program with the following Maven command:
mvn javafx:run
The project uses JavaFX, and can not be run without it.
When you run the program, you will see a graphical user interface. You will first need to login using your employee initials. By default, there is added an employee with initials "adm" which can be logged in as.
Once logged in you will be able to create new projects, add employees, create activities, assign employees to activities and appoint project leaders. You can use the menu bar to navigate between the different sections of the program, My Overview, Employees, Projects and Selected Projects.
On My Overview you will see a list of all your specific projects and all your activities. Clicking on a project in the left list will select it, and the Selected Project tab will be available.
On the Employees tab you can search in employees by initials. Selecting an employee will show which projects they are part of and which activities they have been assigned to. To add a new employee click "New". You will be prompted to enter the employees initials (1-4 letters).
The Projects tab allows you to search for projects using either the name or ID. To edit a project, first select the project you wish to edit, then click the "Edit Project" button.
