This blog is for me to post things that I encounter while I work. Such as questions/problems I encounter and things I find. I'll try to update daily, but we'll see how that turns out.

Site Map and Competition Board
So yesterday I've starting two new projects that shouldn't take much time. The first one I've started is a site map for our main management site. What started me wanting to do this is the iPad and iOS 6. With this new iOS, the drop down menus don't work right like what I can do on my Android phone. You can tap on the menu, and go to that tap, but you cannot access anything that drops down. So I'm taking our header file and I'm going to create a site map that lists all links that are found in the header menus. So far I've striped out all the extra code I don't need and just have links in a table format. So right now it doesn't look pretty. But I'll keep everyone informed with how it goes, but I don't plan on spending much time on this at one time, more for when I need a break from other stuff.
The other project that I've started was a competition/tracking/motivation board on our sight to help keep our account managers motivated in filling spaces in our parks. With this they will be able to track the past weeks progress, whether it be good or bad, and see who did the best for the week. So the managers can put in what there totals where for each of the categories, and that will come up with a total points for the week. Now they have a chance to do a little challenge, like throwing a ball and making a goal, like into an empty trash basket, to earn higher points for the week. But it sounds like they will only get one chance to do it. If they make the goal, then they got the larger points for the week. But if they miss, then they lose all there points, and those points are divided up between all the other managers. Now each category has an x-factor to increase the total points if the bonus is made. So for each category, there are three things kept track of, the first one is what was your goal for that category for the week. Second is what did you achieve. The third is a bonus if you made your goal. So the goal section is worth no points, because its what you are striving to get. The second is worth one point for each home that meets that criteria. Then if the goal was made, then you get five additional points for that category. So things can add up if you set your goal and then make it. Then if you make the challenge of the day, then things can really add up. If the challenge is made, you get to apply the x-factor to the points for the second and third column. So this is what I have to create, and it will probably be done next week I hope. So far I've created the layout sort of with how I want it to look, then I'll need to do the back end math and data base back end for saving the different weeks. So it doesn't sound like as much as I thought it would have been after talking about what I have done yesterday, and what I have to do, but we'll see.
