How does the TimeFiler back-end work?
TimeFiler revolves around Microsoft products. In particular, Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft SQL Server, and Microsoft SQL Reporting Services. The TimeFiler application server is a windows service listening to http/https ports of your choice. TimeFiler installs all under one directory, and does not write to the registry. Other than a couple of minor initialisation files to find the database, reporting and email server, all settings are stored in one Microsoft SQL server database with the rest of the company data. TimeFiler communicates with Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services, and any SMTP server for e-mail reminders and administrator activity logs. It can synchronise with a variety of third party systems, including a very comprehensive synchronisation with other products that also use Microsoft SQL Server databases, for example your payroll or accounting system. The application server serves html/js/css without going through a dedicated web server. TimeFi
