Spreadsheet reader is a type of software that allows users to build, store and review (retrieve from database) their spreadsheets. Spreadsheet reader maintains building and displaying spreadsheets (timetables and task lists) in spreadsheet format as an electronic grid consisted of rows and columns where each cell represents certain textual, numeric or calculated value of different task attributes (such as time parameters, assignments etc). In other words spreadsheet reader shows you a list of your tasks described with multiple attributes such as time parameters, assignments, level of priority etc. recorded in certain cells. When it comes to multi-user spreadsheet format, special software consists of two main parts - server spreadsheet component and client spreadsheet component. They interconnect with each other through your LAN or Internet. In this case software-driven spreadsheet file (database) is securely placed on your server and every user who has client spreadsheet component can access spreadsheet file to retrieve data from it in understandable spreadsheet format.
