Configuration
Changelog
- 2025-04-01: Init, relevant for OpenProject 14.6.3
Description of setup for personal use (context as a solo researcher with multiple ongoing project lines). This is an attempt to describe the slightly more unique configuration settings for project-specific structure, i.e. excluding basic settings including users.
Administration
Kanban boards are disabled because they require manual linking + upkeeping.

Workflow
Dealing with the different views available in OpenProject is important.
- Work packages: Most of the task editing happens in this page.
- Gantt charts:
- Useful for visualizing WPs in relation to each other, and the start date of proposed tasks (to get a sense of how much overdue a task is)
- If the WP list becomes too long, upcoming deadlines fall off the screen and become not visible. Calendars are a better option here.
- Calendars:
- Plots deadlines in terms of urgency, and is more useful for overview of urgent taskings across all projects.
- Need to figure out how to integrate this with personal calendars.
- Subscription can be enabled. The directory regex is
/projects/.*/calendars/{{ID}}/ical?ical_token={{TOKEN}}
. Failure to match calendar ID with token yields HTTP 404.
