OATS
Version 2.0.3

What is OATS?
--------------

OATS (Online Application Timecard System) is a multi-user online
timecard system written in PHP/MySQL. It allows users to input their
hours and then print their hours out at the end of the time period (in
PDF/HTML/Text format). It also has support for creating a template if
the user works the same hours every week. After submitting his/her
timecard, the user can start a new timecard, and the old one is
archived.

The data is all stored in MySQL, and O.A.T.S. has support for three
authentication methods: database, imap, and pop3.

OATS has a well-developed administration center to make it easy to log
in as another user, clean out tables, and update the FAQ.
