Special features of OpenProject at the Projektablage
Because of the integration into the Projektablage, the following notes apply for working with OpenProject:
- User administration is carried out exclusively via the administration page of the project repository.
- Projects in OpenProject are set up automatically when the service is activated for a project space at the Projektablage. There is exactly one project in OpenProject per project space at the Projektablage.
- It is not possible to create sub-projects. If several projects are required in OpenProject, additional project spaces can be set up at the Projektablage instead and OpenProject in these project spaces.
- The e-mail addresses are used as the names of the project members.
- The function to make a project public is deactivated.
-
GitLab integration
OpenProject's GitLab module enables integration with GitLab at the Projektablage. Software development organised in GitLab can thus be incorporated into project management in OpenProject by linking created merge requests to work packages.
Instructions for setting up the GitLab integration in OpenProject are available on the manufacturer's website. -
