Hello there, I am building the solution for my tech support company, we work with eletronics, games, pc's repairs etc, on my main layout we manage service orders and inventory, and I have the idea of keeping a way to monitor our productivity, for that I would need a way to read and start events from specific times, as I want few things like that:

When the employe join early on the day, he check in the system and the system knows if he is late, or in time etc and I can have a custom notification for him based on that time;

When he opens up a service order, he will be working on that until he closes it to end as done or waiting for parts etc, I want the system to monitor how much time he worked on that specific order, and from that I can calculate the "uptime" and productivity of that guy;

I want to have the system to give custom messages on a schedulled time, like, "your lunch time starts in 15 minutes", "you have X hours to finish that thing" etc, and have stuff like every 9 am it says "good morning", simple stuff

 

The thing is, most of that I can use the system clock to calculate the time spend on stuff, but I couldnt figure out a simple way to schedule FM to start the specific script at the exact time I want. So the questions:

Is there some app (Windows) that checks the time on pre set intervals and send a start command to FM?

As I can only have a single "ontime script" I was thinking to have a hide window inside my solution that runs an ontime script that checks every minute or so the current time, and then verify on a table, if there is anything schedulled to run on that time, if so it starts the pre set script, if not it restart the ontime script.

I am sure I am over complicating things here, and all the help is welcome and apreciated!

Thank you very much!

What you can do is send emails or text messages as reminders.

Or if you were on a Mac you could script Growl.

There has to be some notification app on Windows, as well, I'm just unaware.
