Finding the right name for a new component

Erwan de FERRIERES-3
Dear all,

We have to develop an application based on OFBiz. In this application,
there will be a system for clocking in/out for the employees.Once this
new feature will be created, it will be submitted to the community.

So I just want to give the right name to the entities, to be sure it is
understandable for everyone.

We were thinking of :
  * ClockingEntry (one entry)
  * ClockingAnomaly (one anomaly)
  * ClockingGroup (a group of rules)

If those names are Ok for you, then we will keep with them. If you've
got a better idea, don't hesitate to tell me !

Cheers,

Hello,

In Belgium we call this functionality "ticking".

In ofbiz always look what can be re-used before you create new....

clocking in and out looks like a workeffort with a start and end
date/time?

please also explain what anomaly and group should do?

Don't worry Hans, we've been looking before. One of the goals is also to
keep entities together, and be sure that we will try to reuse a lot.

But for this new feature, we need to create specific entities, like
* ClockingGroup (an employee belongs to a group. A group is a set of rules)
* ClockingAnomaly which is an error in the clocking. For example, an
employee is missing, so we have to keep this information, the person who
validates the absence, the time of noticing, the reason, etc...
* PartyClockingGroup which will keep "sums" of working time by weeks or
months

Hope that will clarify the needs !

Yeah, kind of like the existing Timesheet and TimeEntry entities  
(which related to WorkEffort, InvoiceItem, etc).

Read the Work Effort chapter in The Data Model Resource Book. It
discusses employee timekeeping.

Yes it's some kind of timekeeping application.
I don't have the book yet (ordered 2 weeks ago, but amazon had no more
in stock at this time...), so I will wait to update my entity names !

however it does not discuss the a lot of the functions you have described.
I can see yours being part of the HR component, as well, under
Performance review item and the Item type. Also Performance Notes
we have some components that have -ext added. maybe you can pick one of
the components that closes fits your functions an make a folder with -ext.
