TimeWriter works with both a local or cloud database. An explanation of how this works follows below.
Local database
| • | The local database is located on your own computer or within the same network. This is a trusted internal location and is typically not accessible from outside of the local network. |
| • | It is only possible to work with the desktop client. |
| • | Optimal performance. Speed of reading and writing from the database does not depend on an internet connection. |
Cloud database
| • | It is possible to work with the desktop client. |
| • | Creating and modifying bookings and viewing of reports can be done via a Web browser. |
| • | Regular backups will be run on the server. |
| • | Speed of reading and writing from the database is dependent on an internet connection. |
N.B.: For communication with the server in the cloud, a TCP/IP connection will be set up to free.cloud.timewriter.nl on port 9093.
