App for site managers: pick a site, a team and a day, then enter every worker's attendance on a single sheet, by the hour, half-day or day, even without Internet.
Coming soon
The demo database holds 2 sites, 3 teams, 17 workers and 120 working days of attendance sheets, with absences and supporting documents. The most recent sheets are left to validate so that you can try validation.
Menu, tab and button names are shown as they appear in French in the app and in Technova.
Download the MSI installer and double-click it. If Windows shows "Windows protected your PC", click "More info" then "Run anyway". In the setup wizard ("Technova Chantier Setup"), click "Next" and follow the screens. When the installation ends, start "Technova Chantier" from the Start menu.
Sign in to Technova (https://technova.fr-host.fr, database pointage, account admin, password admin). Open Présences › Terminaux › Nouveau. Choose the "Chef de chantier" type and the "Windows" platform, save, then click "Générer un code d'enrôlement". Write the code down: it is not shown again, is single-use and valid for 24 hours.
On first launch, the "Enrôlement du poste" screen appears. Enter the server address (https://technova.fr-host.fr), the database (pointage) and the enrolment code, then click "Enrôler ce poste". The list of sites, teams and workers is downloaded.
In the "Saisie de présence" tab, pick the site, the team, the date and the "Mode de saisie" (by the hour, half-day or day) on the left. For each worker click "Présent", "Absent" or "Justifié" (or "Tous présents" / "Tous absents"), then set the quantity: "1 j · 8 h", "0,5 j · 4 h" or a number of hours. For an excused absence, type a justification and, if needed, click "Joindre un document". Add a remark if you wish, then click "Enregistrer et envoyer".
Open the "Semaine / Mois" tab. Choose the site, the team and the period ("Semaine" or "Mois"). The grid crosses workers and days: type hours (for example 8 or 6,5), "A" for absent, "J" for an excused absence. "Remplir jours ouvrés" pre-fills the period. Click "Enregistrer la période": one sheet is created or updated for each changed day, in a single send. Days already validated are locked (read-only).
The "Historique" tab lists the sheets and their state, for example "Envoyée — à valider". Click "Ouvrir" to view one. The "Récupérer depuis Technova (31 derniers jours)" button brings back the sheets already saved on the server, entered in Technova or from another PC, to view and edit them.
In Technova, open Présences › Chantiers › Feuilles de présence: the submitted sheets appear in the "Soumise" state ("À valider" filter). Open one, check the attendance, then click "Valider". Validation generates the attendance records of the workers present, and therefore the project hours. A validated sheet can no longer be edited.
A duplicate sheet (same site, same team, same day, sent from another PC) or one with a worker outside the team is rejected. It stays visible in the history with its message and is not deleted.
A sheet validated or cancelled in Technova is locked. To correct it, set it back to draft in Technova.
Future dates are not accepted (tomorrow at most).
A code is single-use and valid for 24 hours. If it has expired or was already used, go back to the terminal in Technova and click "Générer un code d'enrôlement" again.
Outside a local demo, the address must start with https://: the API does not accept HTTP in production. Also check the address for typos.
Enter the database name exactly as shown in the "Demo details" section above. A mistyped address or database gives a connection error.
The installers are not digitally signed. Click "More info" then "Run anyway", after comparing the SHA-256 checksum.
