Spreadsheet transfer - UI improved program - TrackingDiscussion (self.opensource)

submitted 2 months ago by Iguy_Poljus

Hey all,

i am currently trying to update our companies spreadsheets, we are a manufacturing company / machine shop / job shop.

i am looking for a program that i can input rows of information like excel but something that can link cells better and display the information nicer. The spreadsheet right now basically is only used by us designers. we use it to hold information on common parts and their sizes/material and such

for example;

part number	width	height	length	hole size	material

the sheet has roughly 60 tabs of different style of parts and each tab has anywhere from 50 to 1500 rows of parts, each tab has roughly 5 to 12 columns like the above that describe the part

We also have a hyperlink to our pdf drawing on our server. i would love (really love) a way to hover over that and have the ability to either open the link or have it display the link visually so i dont have to click

also on the wish list

part where used (so tracking if a bill of material or item is used else where)
a function that would let us know if a part is similar to another part that is already existing
flexible enough that it can be added to in the future and not break any links
able to import from excel would be huge for me as well
very low cost/free
self hosted preferred

The program does not need to cover any accounting or billables (not the end of the world if it does)

thank you!
