Platform-independent Spider is easy to use and maintain since administration can be carried out remotely through a Web interface. The ability to view and update the status of projects in real time, via a Web interface is a powerful value-added enhancement for our users. The system is a vehicle for keeping team members and executives current on project status. Spider is well suited for project managers, business managers, department and resource managers, as well as planners, and customers. Because Spider is designed to be used by multiple members of project teams, Welcom has included a means for regulating access to data.
Systems administrators can assign access and editing rights to users based on their needs.
An administrator uses this view to control which users can edit information, which users are restricted to a read-only mode, and which users may not view some types of information. In addition, an administrator uses this view to set preferences, define default date settings, and to show additional fields in the resource, activity, and project views. Resource View - This view provides a means for viewing and editing resource progress data. A user with appropriate rights may also authorize resource progress in this view as well as create new resource assignments. Activity View - This view provides a means of viewing and editing activity progress data.
