Chapter 7 Intranet System IN THIS CHAPTER . Developing a base intranet-application . Using login/logout information to generate access reports . Developing a simple messaging application A BASE INTRANET APPLICATION is an application which is used to provide a home page for each user. This application shows links to other applications. In this chapter, we will develop the base intranet application that shows each user a home page. When a user logs in, she sees a generated page with information, such as notes from other intranet users, or she can access other intranet tools that we will build in later chapters. Identifying Functionality Requirements The base intranet application system consists of the following features: . A central user authentication and user management facility: We built this in the first two chapters in this section of the book. In this chapter, we will add a set of applications called Access Reporter, Admin Access Reporter, and Daily Logbook that will allow intranet users, administra tions to access login/logout access information. Each regular user will be allowed to access only her own access report while administrators will have full access to all user access report and summaries. In a company environment, these access reports can serve as office attendance record. . A user home application: Each user should be able to log in and view a dynamic home page that enables that user to access information and applications available on the intranet system. The home application will have two small utilities to display tips and handle user preferences related to screen themes.
