reminder function for work packages

Added by Fabian Hörstmann almost 9 years ago

Hello OpenProject-Community,

this is my first post in here, so please tell me, if I’m doin somethin wrong.

We are looking for a reminder that can be set up in work packages, to be remindet to look for a work package that went out of view. Or that I can restart my work on a work package before duedate is reached.

Or is there another way to obtain this feature?

If this is going to be a new feature, it would be nice to have independent reminders for observers too. There could be a Table of reminders on “My Page”

PS.: Great work so far. We love OP and are just about to persuade our managemet to establish it in our company. The reminding function was one of the first questions they had.

Hello Fabian,

thanks for your message.
That’s definitely an important feature you describe.
In order to not lose sight of work packages with an approaching due date you can use work package filters:
If you want to keep track on the work packages of a specific project (or project hierarchy), navigate to the work package page of the project. If you want to keep the overview of all work packages, navigate to the global work package list (“Modules” > “Work packages”).
You can then apply the filters (e.g. for a specific assignee) and then filter for the “Due date” (e.g. “Due date in less than 5 days”).
This provides an overview of work packages which are due in the near future.
You can then save the filter and add it to the side menu for a better overview.

Best,
Robin

there is a feature request #7693: Created by Robin for this :-)

the redmine hook works for me with local installation of openproject 6.1.4:

/usr/bin/openproject run bundle exec rake redmine:send_reminders days=2 RAILS_ENV=“production”

Redmine has developed a plugin for this feature:
http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_mail_reminder

Would be nice to see this in openproject also :-)
