This feature provides automatic counting of the user's keystrokes and mouse clicks.
Companies use this feature to record the:
1) Utilization of the PC
2) Productivity of workers who are doing heavy data entry in Windows
All What-I-DID! monitoring is unknown to the worker. The logsumry.rpt and the
logtimes.rpt reports report this data and show the productivity. Keystrokes
and clicks are counted and stored for each Application & Window that the
user enters. If a window is up for less than your user defined parameter
for seconds, the keystroke and click counts are carried forward to the next
window to reduce output clutter. This eliminates the many yes/no boxes, etc.
that may appear.
You can sort and compare the productivity and utilization figures in the
logtimes file to achieve different types of reports, if you have any product
compatible with Paradox files. What-I-DID has a small memory footprint of
only 50K bytes. It uses global memory to retain keystrokes and flushes the
log data to the file after any keyboard idle period of 5 minutes. So you should not
experience any loss of performance while What-I-DID does its thing.
How To Set Up
If different users use the same computer, make sure your network login establishes
a DOS environment variable called "USER". This can be done as part of any network
login script, e.g. "SET USER=%LOGIN_NAME% works in Novell Netware Login Scripts.
What-I-DID will read this DOS variable to log the usage against that username.
If this name is not found, all the entries in the Paradox 4.0 file "LOGTIMES"
will have the user name "SUPERVIS". Leaving it blank is adequate for single user
installations.
Add the whatidid.exe as an icon to the user's Windows startup.grp. When the user
boots into Windows, the What-I-Did program will be automatically loaded, but is
INVISIBLE. It will not appear in any task list and the user cannot activate it.
Press CONTROL-F12 to activate it and make it visible. F)ile S)etup allows you
to change the seconds between windows limit. If a user is in a Window, like a
yes/no prompt window for less than ___ seconds, What-I-DID will carry over the
count of the keystrokes and mouse-clicks to the next Window. This is initially
set at 16 seconds. F)ile R)eport and S)ummary provide the log reports of the usage.
The layout of the file report is:
"UserName", "A10"
"LogDate", "D"
"LogTime", "A8"
"AppName", "A30"
"AppWindow", "A30"
"No Keystrokes", "N8.0"
"No Mouse Clicks", "N8.0"
"Actual Stamp", "N"
"TimeinWindow", "A8"
"SecsinWindow", "N8.0"
