-# Widget Research: cf.cplace.ctts.main.projectmanagerReportGrid
-
-## Quick Description
-
-The Project Manager Report Grid widget displays time booking data in a tabular format from a project leader's perspective, showing which employees worked on which projects and for how long during a selected time period.
-
-## Purpose
-
-This widget is part of the CTTS (Collaborative Time Tracking System) timebooking solution and provides project managers/leaders with a comprehensive overview of time bookings across their projects. It aggregates and displays time tracking data to help project managers monitor resource allocation and time spent on different projects by team members.
-
-## Key Concepts
-
-### 1. Report Types
-The widget is specifically designed for the **Project Manager View** (PROJECT_VIEW) report type, which differs from the Employee View. It shows data organized by projects and employees rather than by individual employee timesheets.
-
-### 2. Representative Mode
-The widget supports viewing time tracking data on behalf of other users (substitution/representative mode). This is controlled through the `RepresentativeStorage.PROJECTMANAGER_REPORTS` storage, allowing authorized users to view reports for different project managers.
-
-### 3. Time Period Selection
-Users can select a date range to view time tracking data:
-- Start and end date selection (year and month)
-- The selected date range is persisted per user and space
-- Previous selections are remembered when returning to the widget
-
-### 4. Data Structure
-The widget displays:
-- **Projects**: The booked targets (pages) that employees worked on
-- **Employees**: The people who booked time to projects
-- **Time Data**: Hours/time booked per project per employee
-- **Project Distribution**: Percentage distribution showing how team members' time is allocated across projects
-- **Additional Person Attributes**: Configurable custom attributes from employee profiles
-
-## Configuration Options
-
-### Widget Configuration
-
-The widget supports one main configuration option:
-
-**REPORT_PERSON_ATTRIBUTES** (`cf.cplace.ctts.main.reportPersonAttributes`)
-- Type: Multi-string attribute with dynamic enumeration
-- Purpose: Allows selection of additional person attributes to display in the report
-- Label: "Choose custom attributes"
-- Use case: Display extra information about employees (e.g., department, role, cost center) alongside their time bookings
-
-This configuration is loaded from the widget configuration and used by `ReportAdditionalAttributes` to enrich the report data with custom person information.
-
-### App Configuration
-
-The widget respects app-level configurations from `MainAppConfiguration`, particularly:
-- **ALLOWED_GROUPS**: Determines who can view the report through permission checking
-- **showDataFromThisWorkspaceOnly**: Filters which booked targets are visible based on workspace membership
-
-## Use Cases
-
-### Primary Use Case: Project Time Oversight
-A project manager wants to see how much time team members have spent on various projects during a specific month or quarter to:
-- Monitor project progress through time investment
-- Identify resource allocation patterns
-- Verify that team members are booking time correctly
-- Prepare for project reviews or billing
-
-### Use Case: Cross-Project Analysis
-A project manager overseeing multiple projects wants to understand:
-- Which employees are working on which projects
-- How employee time is distributed across projects (percentage view)
-- Whether resources are balanced or overallocated
-
-### Use Case: Custom Reporting
-An organization needs to include additional employee information in project reports, such as:
-- Cost center information for budget tracking
-- Employee seniority level for capacity planning
-- Department information for cross-functional project analysis
-
-They configure the `REPORT_PERSON_ATTRIBUTES` setting to include these custom attributes in the report grid.
-
-### Use Case: Representative/Substitute Viewing
-A project manager is on vacation, and their substitute needs to review project time bookings. The substitute uses the representative mode to view the project manager's reports without switching user accounts.
-
-## Related Widgets
-
-### cf.cplace.ctts.main.projectmanagerReportChart
-- **Relationship**: Companion widget to the grid view
-- **Difference**: Displays the same project manager time tracking data in a chart/graphical format instead of a table
-- **Shared Code**: Both widgets use the same `ReportWidgetSubstitution` base class and `ReportHandler` for data retrieval
-- **Use Together**: Organizations typically offer both widgets so users can choose between tabular data (grid) and visual analysis (chart)
-
-### cf.cplace.ctts.main.employeeReportGrid
-- **Relationship**: Similar widget but from employee perspective
-- **Difference**: Shows time bookings from an individual employee's viewpoint rather than a project manager's overview
-- **Report Type**: Uses EMPLOYEE_VIEW instead of PROJECT_VIEW
-
-### cf.cplace.ctts.main.MainWidget
-- **Relationship**: The primary time booking widget
-- **Difference**: Used for entering time bookings, while the project manager report grid is for viewing/analyzing already entered data
-- **Data Flow**: Time entered in MainWidget becomes the data displayed in the report grid
-
-## Technical Architecture
-
-### Handler Chain
-1. Widget renders with initial state using `ReportWidgetSubstitution`
-2. User interactions trigger `ReportHandler` via AJAX
-3. `ReportHandler` delegates to `ReportProjectManager` for data generation
-4. `ReportProjectManager` uses `ReportProjectManagerDatabaseUtilities` to query time bookings
-5. Data is returned as JSON through `ProjectReportBaseData` structure
-
-### Data Flow
-1. Widget initialization loads saved date range from `ReportDateRangeStore`
-2. Frontend sends request with date range and current user ID
-3. Backend queries time booking database for projects managed by the selected user
-4. Results are filtered by workspace visibility rules
-5. Additional person attributes are loaded if configured
-6. Project distribution percentages are calculated
-7. Data is serialized as JSON and sent to frontend for display
-
-### Key Classes
-- **ProjectmanagerReportGridWidgetDefinition**: Widget definition and configuration type
-- **ReportWidgetSubstitution**: Template substitution providing state and handlers
-- **ReportHandler**: HTTP handler for report data requests
-- **ReportProjectManager**: Business logic for generating project manager report data
-- **ReportAdditionalAttributes**: Manages custom person attributes in reports
-- **RepresentativeTool**: Manages representative/substitute user selection
-
-## Dependencies and Prerequisites
-
-### Required Permissions
-- User must be member of groups defined in `MainAppConfiguration.ALLOWED_GROUPS`
-- Without proper group membership, the widget displays "View not allowed" message
-
-### Data Prerequisites
-- Time bookings must exist in the system (entered via MainWidget)
-- Projects/targets must be properly configured as time booking targets
-- Project manager assignments must be configured (determines which projects a user can see)
-
-### Related Features
-- **Time Tracking Export**: Integration with time tracking export functionality (button visible if export templates configured)
-- **Project Manager Configuration App**: Used to assign project managers to projects/targets
-- **Representative System**: Requires representative/substitute user configuration
-
-## Frontend Integration

-
-### User Interface Elements
-Based on the localization messages, the widget likely provides:
-- Date range selectors (start/end year and month)
-- Representative/substitute user selection
-- Employee and project columns
-- Time data display (hours/percentage)
-- Time tracking export button (if configured)
-- Custom attribute columns (if configured)
-
