+ ++ The logger can track a number of variables in different projects. +
+ ++ A variable is something you wish to track, for example: +
+ ++ Variables are shared between all projects, so that you can + summarize the variable across projects. However, if you have many + diverse projects going on, only certain variables will make sense + for any given project, hence we let you map variables to + projects. +
+ ++ Some variables will be additive, meaning that it makes + sense to add them together and look at the total. An example of an + additive variable is time spent. Others are non-additive, + which means the opposite. Instead, you would typically average + over them. An example is measuring your personal weight, or the + account balance of your bank account. It doesn't make sense to add + those numbers together, they're snapshots at a given point in + time, and just because you check your account balance 10 times a + day doesn't (necessarily) mean you're getting richer and richer. +
+ ++ +

+ + ++ You can mount multiple instances of the logger + application. The projects you define are shared between all + logger application instances, subject to the permissions you grant + on them. Each instance of logger will be setup to display a + certain subset of the projects available, as defined by the + administrator of that instance. +
+ ++ An example of why this is useful is if you work for a company, + which works on many different projects for different clients. In + that scenario, you would mount a logger instance in your intranet, + where people log the hours they spend on projects. Then if you + want to give your clients access to your logs, you can mount an + instance per client in the client's extranet area. These client + loggers would only have access to the projects that pertain to the + given client. +
