Usage

This program will work with two text files, user.txt and tasks.txt.

• tasks.txt stores a list of all the tasks that the team is working on.
• user.txt stores the username and password for each user that has permission to use the program

Login:

• The user will be prompted to enter a username and password. A list of valid usernames and passwords are stored in a text file called user.txt. An appropriate error message will be displayed if the user enters a username that is not listed in user.txt or enters a valid username but not a valid password. The user will repeatedly be asked to enter a valid username and password until they provide appropriate credentials. After login, admin will have more functional menu than normal users.

Funcitons: There are many functions in this program.

• Register new user which is not already existed yet in the system
• Add a new task
• View all task listed in tasks.txt in a very nice and clean display
• View the task of the user. User can also edit the task, update the task if it is not done yet
• Admin can generate reports about useful and statistical information about users and tasks. A task-overview.txt and user-overview.txt will be auto-generated when admin chooses this function.
• Many nice other functions to be explored
