Registro De Horas: Solución A La Selección Incorrecta Y Cálculo De Horas

Hey guys! 👋 Let's dive into an issue we've been having with the time registration feature in SinergiaCRM. We've got some problems with how the system selects related time entries and calculates total hours. Specifically, when you're efficiently logging your hours, the system isn't always picking the right entries and the total hours calculation needs some tweaking. Let's break down the details and see how we can fix it. This is a crucial step to ensuring accurate time tracking and boosting overall efficiency.

Descripción del problema: Profundizando en los Fallos del Registro de Horas

So, the main issue revolves around two key areas. First, the criteria used for selecting related time entries isn't working as it should. Secondly, the calculation of total hours worked isn't including the current time entry in a timely manner. Let's look at the proposals to fix it.

Propuesta 1: Mejorando la Selección de Registros Horarios Relacionados

The current system selects time entries based on a 24-hour window prior to the entry you're closing out. The problem is that this method pulls in unrelated entries. This happens especially when someone's work extends past midnight, or if they have split shifts across different days. The goal is to make sure the related entries are displayed. The current methodology, based on a simple 24-hour timeframe, frequently includes unrelated entries in the selection, which is definitely not what we want.

We need a more smart way to handle this, particularly because the standard workday usually starts and ends on the same day. However, we also have to deal with overnight shifts, where the start and end dates are different. To tackle this, we propose changing the system to accurately reflect how people actually work, considering various work schedules.

Let's consider some examples: if someone works a night shift from 10 PM to 6 AM, they might have multiple entries: one from 10 PM to 11:30 PM, another from 11:30 PM to 4 AM, and a final one from 4 AM to 6 AM. All these should be shown together. At the same time, if they worked a partial shift from 11 AM to 2 PM on the previous day, it should not be included. It's all about making sure that only entries that relate to the current shift are pulled. It's about precision, guys!

This will involve rethinking the selection criteria to consider start and end times, rather than just using a simple 24-hour period. We will also include special handling for those overnight shifts, to ensure all related entries are included. The key is to refine the logic so that it more accurately reflects the actual workday.

Propuesta 2: Inclusión del Tramo Actual en el Cálculo de Horas Totales

The second part of the problem deals with how the total hours are calculated. Right now, the system doesn't immediately include the current time entry in the total hours until it's closed. This can be confusing, especially when you need to see the total hours worked at any given moment. To fix this, we're proposing that the system include the duration of the current entry from its start time to the present moment in the total calculation. This real-time update will give you a more accurate view of your hours at any time.

This simple change makes a big difference. It allows for employees to see their ongoing work hours. This will make the process easier and better reflect the current work situation.

Cómo reproducir el problema: Pasos para identificar la falla

To make sure we're all on the same page, here are the steps to reproduce the issue and see what's happening. Following these steps helps you confirm the problem and see the effects of the proposed solutions:

1. Crear Registros Horarios Previos: Start by creating several time entries with a start date from the day before today, and an end time after the current time. This simulates ongoing work that extends into the present day. These entries should represent the work performed on the previous day and that overlaps into the current day.
2. Iniciar el Registro Eficiente: Click the green button, which initiates the efficient time entry process. This should prompt the system to show related entries and calculate total hours.
3. Verificar el Cálculo y la Selección: Click the red button to close out the entry and check the total hours calculation. This is where you'll see if the total hours calculation is including the right time entries and if the total hours are being calculated accurately. The key here is to verify whether the entries from step 1 are considered in the calculations, even though they should be linked to the previous day.

By following these steps, you will see the problem firsthand and know how the selected entries are not correct. This will help you to understand the problem, identify the incorrect selections, and assess the accuracy of the total hours calculation, thereby confirming the need for the proposed fixes.

Solución: Implementando un Registro de Horas más Eficiente

To summarize, the key problem is the selection of time entries and the calculation of total hours. To improve things, we need a smarter algorithm. We have to make sure the time entries being selected actually relate to the current work. Then, we need to make sure the total hours reflect real-time calculations. This will create a system that is useful, efficient, and ensures that everyone's hours are accounted for accurately. By fixing these two areas, we'll make a more efficient, user-friendly, and accurate time tracking system.
