* By Work Type (allows different rates by different activities)
* By Staff (allows the rates to be different by resource used)
=== Scheduling ===
The output of the scheduling engine will manifest that the hours in Time Tracker will be prefilled with a user having the ability to edit as their day progresses.
Actual scheduling will be done by a new module called Scheduler and the interaction of the output will be supported by Time Tracker.

== Scheduler ==
The scheduler module will deliver in conjunction with Time Tacker and Appointment Manager the ability to plan staff hours and allocate them in advance.
The module is in concept stage and is being worked through with a client to deliver specific requirements.
The primary challenge in the development of this module is the development and application of the resource allocation algorithms

As bxp moves towards being able to offer ERP solutions, the schedule features as a key stepping stone in this development

== Analytics using R ==
R is a free statistical computing tool available from
https://www.r-project.org/
bxp will generate data in a format compatible with R to facilitate the implementation of a number of data mining algorithms.
Algorithms currently considered
* kMeans Clustering algorithm
* k Nearest Neighbour algorithm
* Apriori algorithm
* CART 4.5 algorithm

== API Tester Engine ==
Currently testing the API engine requires an external solution to poll the bxp servers. To make testing the interface more controlled and generate consistent repeatable results, an API testing interface will be developed.
This interface will be developed using PHP and live on the www.bxpsoftware.com public webserver. The interface will be available to all to use and provide sample code.
== API Hamster Report (Moss and others) ==
To make API support easier hamsters generated by the API engine will be interrogate-able and searchable. This interface will initially only be available to internal All n One staff with the interface on refinement being rolled out the System Access Management module.
A new section for API support will be provided in the System Access Management module.
Application of styling will vary throughout the system. i.e. there will be a master default but only some reports will allow “selective” styling.
== System Wipe function ==
This tool will purge all data and accounts from the ww5 or live environments as required. The tool will require a special code only supplied by All n One staff to allow a client enact the removal of all their data.
This tool also will help to reset testing environments where experimentation or training is required.
