OpsAdmin

Introduction

Open Project Services is a project collaboration server. Check the website for more background information on what it is. If you are using Open Project Services (OPS) to collaborate on projects, you can use the OPS Administration application to add or edit projects and to view the projects' members time-sheets.

The OPS Administration tool is a really just a friendly user interface for modifying projects information stored your LDAP (en IMAP). You can create new projects or rename existing projects, add members or tasks to projects and change the status (either active or closed) of projects and tasks. When you change the name of a project or create a new one, the project's shared mail folder on your IMAP server is automatically renamed or created. All members of a (active) project are given access to the project's shared mail folder. While projects and tasks are 'active', project members can fill out hours spend on project implementation tasks in their time-sheets (you will need the OPS Timesheet plug-in for sunbird for this). The OPS Administration application also provides a GUI for retrieving and viewing the time-sheet reports in a number of formats (for example per project, summary over all projects, etc).

Implementation

See OpsAdminImplementation for a general overview. Ops Admin is a front end and supports internalization and localisation. See OpsAdminI18n for more info (or if you want to translate ops admin to your language :)).

Issues

See OpsAdminIssues. Includes redesign with ops_project integration, which should render the whole of ops more deployable and maintainable.
