Project: PayBack

PayBack is comprehensive tool designed to streamline one’s employee information management process.

Given below are my contributions to the project.

  • New Feature: Confirmation message for /delete command
    • What it does: allows the user confirm/abort the deletion of employees from database.
    • Justification: This feature improves the product significantly because a user can make mistakes in /delete commands and the app should provide a confirmation message showing the details of employee to be deleted, before the user confirms/aborts the process.
    • Highlights: This enhancement requires modification to the main Logic class. It requires an additional parser to parse Y or N confirmation commands input by the user as well as additional parser state that determines whether it is parsing the usual feature commands or confirmation commands.
  • New Feature: /view command
    • What it does: allows the user to view transactions of an existing employee.
    • Justification: This feature is pivotal in this app which has a main goal of managing details and transactions of employees. /transaction command will have little to no use in this app if users cannot view the transactions of an existing employee.
    • Highlights: Similar to how employees are displayed in a UniquePersonsList, transactions will be displayed in a observable UniqueTransactionsList that is filtered based on employeeId. This filtered list will be shown to the user through the transaction list panel, which is an added UI feature to cater to the needs of our app.
  • New Feature: /tag command
    • What it does: allows the user to tag an existing employee.
    • Justification: This feature conveniently allows the user to tag employees with any tags. This eases the process of filtering through the employees via the /find command. Contact management process is thus more efficient.
