aktSmart

aktSmart is an efficient Java-based application whose main function is to offer organization leaders a reliable method of managing their human resources, assigning specific tasks to the members and seeing that everyone performs their job dutifully.

The program is made up of two components: aktSmart and aktSmartServer. In order for aktSmart to run properly, aktSmartServer needs to be launched in Command Prompt. It does not function via drag and drop, it requires to gradually change directory until reaching and launching aktSmartServer.jar. This is supposed to constantly run on the server computer of the organization, so all other members can connect to it via aktSmart.

aktSmartServer will open a port (4444), enabling users to connect to aktSmart using their credentials. The default administrator username is 'Admin', while the password is 'admin_password'. Once the admin accesses the program, he will be able to perform a variety of duties, such as dealing with roles and responsibilities.

AktSmart allows the admin to perform 'Role Management' operations, such as add new users along with their ID and password, then allocate them one or more roles. The 'Activities of Role' section features the possibility of creating new roles within the organization, assigning a name and entering a message (or a job description) for each new activity, along with a corresponding level, such as 'Above', 'Below', or 'None'.

The 'Role Assignment' operations enables the administrator to allocate a specific assignment to a user's role. Last but not least, the 'Role Order' section is where the Admin can individually select each role and associate it a level in contrast with others. All these settings can be constantly modified by the manager of the organization, so he can add, remove, edit and assign roles, activities, tasks and positions.

AktSmart is an interesting software utility that can prove quite handy in managing small or medium-sized organizations, by allocating roles, activities and task to each user, allowing everyone to know what their job consists of.
