Configuration of Project Room

After the project room has been opened by the E-Administration Office, the project manager can change certain settings at its own discretion. It is not necessary to adjust the preset default standards for all features.

You can configure your project in the overview menu by clicking on the "Project settings" tab. All of the available settings are displayed conveniently in a separate list. However, it is not possible to adjust the settings of all of the configuration options on display. Therefore, the features that are mainly relevant for project management are: information, modules, work package types.

OpenProject has various functions that can be made available to the respective project room (and therefore the members). This is done by selecting modules when configuring the project in OpenProject. Project management can determine which functions should be available to members during the course of the project and those that shall remain unavailable.  

The desired functions for the respective project room can be selected in the configuration menu “Modules”. By default, all of the currently activated modules are selected.

Please note: The GitHub service has not been successfully connected to OpenProject yet. However, this function will be available with the next system update.

In the "Work package types" configuration menu, you can select which types of work packages can be created in the project. The default configuration includes these types: work package, task, milestone and phase. It is not necessary to adjust the default standards for this section.
