How to Use Tedi

Introduction

Hi, my name is Jaylen Pierre and I'm 19 years old. I am a third year student in the Civil Engineering program at Ahuntsic College. In this program, we learn to how to design the different components of structures, how to tests various construction materials, how to draw engineering plans and more. This summer I am doing an internship as a field technician at company named Solmatech. Because this job requires me to work long hours while travelling from one construction site to another, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of my working hours and fill out my time sheet effectively and properly. Therefore, Solmatech has put to the disposal of all of its employees and interns a website that can help fix this issue. That website will be briefly presented in this video.

The Problem

As a field technician, I often have to travel long distances during the day in order go to different construction sites. Furthermore, the complex scientific tests that I have to execute require a lot of thoroughness.

Therefore, I am sometimes unable to keep track of my working hours and of the various interventions that I carried out throughout the day.

For instance, I sometimes I have to start my day working on a site located in downtown Montreal and then have to travel to another site located in Joliette in the same day.

With that being said, let me show you how I'm able to classify my interventions at work and to calculate all my working hours in order to fill out my time sheet.

The Quest

The website that I want to present to you guys is called Tedi. In order to gain access to Tedi, you first have to type the URL of the website in the search bar, then you will have to login by using a username that your company will have given to you and a password that you will have created.

Once you have logged in, you will arrive at a page similar to the one on the screen. To your left, you will find a scrolling menu with many tabs. The first three tabs are the most important. In this video I will demonstrate the functions of the first tab which is called " Feuille de temps ".

The Solution

As stated before, on the left will be a scrolling menu with many tabs. The first three are the main ones that you need to understand. The first one is called " Feuille de Temps". It's in this tab that you will be able to choose the different interventions that you did throughout the day and to attribute the period that you worked on those interventions. In the following tab named "Dépenses", you will be able to calculate the kilometers that you traveled if you had to go to more than one construction site, throughout the day. Finally, in the third tab named "Frais internes ", will allow you to calculate the total of tests that you ran throughout the day. Let me show you how to use the first tab named " Feuille de temps ". To start things off, you simply have to click on the tab. Following that, you will have the option to click on " Ajouter du temps ". Once you have clicked on that, a search bar will appear to your left, and you'll have to type the code of the project that you were working on. In my case, I was working on a project with this particular code, and once I type in the code, the project will appear with its many aspects. In my case, I worked on construction sites, so I would have to click on " Chantier ", and I worked in the " Contrôle de Répentigny " department. Once I clicked on that, the many interventions, which are called items in French, will appear. For the sake of this example, if I worked on " Béton ", and if I click on " Ajouter ", the intervention will appear on the screen. As of this time, it is the week of the 22nd through the 28th of June, then I will be able to add a reference if needed, and then I will be able to choose the day that I worked on this particular intervention. If I worked on Friday, I could go in " Commentaire " and add a comment if needed to specify important things. If not, I could go directly to " Intervalle ", and when I click on " Ajouter ", you will be able to add the time that you worked on different aspects of that intervention. If I say that I ran tests, I could click on the arrow right here and select the time that I started this aspect. If I started at 7.45, and then if I ended at 5 p.m., Teddy will calculate the time that I worked on this intervention automatically. Here it says that I worked 9.25 hours. As you go on your week, you can do so for each of the different interventions. At the bottom, it will indicate the total of hours that you worked.

The Conclusion

So there you have it. Here's how Tedi can help you simplify tracking your hours. It is a very simple way and a good way to organize your interventions so that you can be paid rightfully. As I said, there are many tabs that you can go through, but the main ones that you really need to understand are " Feuille de temps ", " Dépenses ", and " Frais internes ". Thank you for watching this video. I hope that it was helpful. Have a nice day!
