Hello

• I’m Steve Stilson, the co-op for the IT Manufacturing Applications group here at NUMMI.

• Upper-division Computer Science major at SFSU. www.SteveStilson.com

• I have really enjoyed creating actual, useful web programs here at NUMMI, where the rubber meets the road.

The need

• I’ve noticed that people will rush into the IT Dept. to find Subject Matter Experts on something when they have trouble.

• So, one of the most useful tools would be a status page to help us find SME’s.

The In The House application

• Up-to-the-minute• Color-coded for fast

assessment• Sort• Filter• Drill down for

contact info• Security

Databases

• Connects to the HR database to see if the person is in that day.

• Connects to another table to retrieve pager and cellphone numbers.

• Connects to the security database to log whenever someone looks at secret info (such as home phone numbers).

Contact Info

• If you click on a person's name, you will be shown contact info for them.– Desk location– Office phone

• If you’re a manager, you’ll also see:– Cell phone– Home phone

The sorting feature

• On the default page, people are listed by last name in columns

• But you can also sort by– First Name– Group– Status (Ins first, then OUTs)These sorts will show the group name as well.

• To go back to the default, click “In The House.”• There’s also a “Help” page.

The Filter Feature• You can filter on all fields:• You can enter any string as a criteria. It will return all items

starting with that criteria while keeping the same sort in place.

• If you filter by group, you have a choice of all group names.• Each step is sent via POST

to the same page that sent it.All data is converted to initial caps.

• The filter will remain until you clear it with clear filter. This will go back to the initial default page.

Another need

• There are WAY too many acronyms here at NUMMI.

• Anyone know what these terms mean?– Yewmac– Andon– ECR– DRL– FBS– PDCA– SQAM

My new Acronyms guide

Features

• You can search for all acronyms and terms containing certain letters.

• You can jump to the Js or Ms, for instance.• You can zoom into photos of an acronym.

You can also suggest a new acronym and upload a photo of it.

How did I write these programs?

• Using Visual Studio 2003• Using SQL server• Using C# .NET• ASP• ASPX• VBScript• HTML• SQL Server

This is my typical workspace
