Time Opus is built on the top of SunPlus Web Architecture Web Opus. Web Opus' purpose is to enable the developer to consistently and quickly produce high-quality web applications or web sites. It promotes site consistency, reliability, and rapid development. Web Opus has two main features, database driven page generation, and customization using COM objects. In the database, the Web Opus developer defines pages, entities, queries, and layouts. You define one logical page for each physical page, and the definition controls how that page appears. You also tell Web Opus the entities involved in the application and Web Opus uses that information to control page flow and rendering. The queries you define provide the data for pages, and the layouts dictate what HTML formatting to use to render the data.
Reports
Time Opus offers powerful reporting flexibility, enabling you to create a range of reports in any format you prefer, showing as much or as little information as needed - either in summary, detail or listing formats.
With Time Opus Professional's integrated reporting capabilities, it's easy to determine the status of any project or compare budgeted hours and expenses against actual costs. Carry out side-by-side comparisons, such as expenses-to-date and budget vs. actual, in text or graphic format.
