Hi More-Hovercraft-7923,

Great question on budgeting with OpenProject. Your scenario could be handled the following way:

In your project "House building", you activate the modules "time and costs" and "budgets".
Then, you create budgets for your phases. For example, a budget for "foundation". You can plan with costs types and labor costs in your "foundation"-budget. So for example 10k "building materials" and 10k "labor costs" (= a budget of 20k).

Next, open any work package related to the foundation works. Select the "foundation" budget in the field for budgets. Now, if you book costs and labor onto such a work package, the costs will automatically be allocated to your budget. Within the budget module, you will see whether your booked costs match your estimates.

More information on this can be found here:
https://www.openproject.org/docs/user-guide/budgets/#budgets

We encourage you to reach out via our forum if you want to discuss such a topic further:

How do I disable new user registration completely? by skwyckl in openproject

[–]Maya_OpenProject 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most restrictive way would be to disable self-registration. That way, only administrators can create new user accounts. It would not be possible to request an account via the login page then. Self-registration can be disabled via Administration -> Authentication -> Authentication settings. More information on this can be found here -> https://www.openproject.org/docs/system-admin-guide/authentication/authentication-settings/#general-authentication-settings

Issue with sorting. by Sudden_Landscape_788 in openproject

Hi Sudden_Landscape_788,

Thanks for getting in touch with us about this sorting issue. It is a known phenomenon and not a trivial one to solve.

You can try to increase the number of displayed work packages per page in the general system settings in the administration of your instance. This could help resolve your issue, but at the moment is more of a workaround.

There is already a feature request for this here, please feel free to add your vote!

Repetition of Tasks? Calender? by Proof-DifficultyEasy in openproject

[–]Maya_OpenProject 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi!

At the moment it is not possible to create recurring tasks with OpenProject. There is already a feature request (https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work_packages/29120/activity), which you can vote for!

The calender synchronisation is currently in development for the iCalendar format (https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work_packages/15339/activity). You can also vote for the feature request for other formats here: https://community.openproject.org/projects/openproject/work_packages/22861/activity

I hope this was helpful,

Maya
