OpenProject 10.5

OpenProject 10.5.0

We released OpenProject 10.5.0.
The new release of the open source project management software contains new action boards for assignees, much more intuitive sorting of versions by name, the removed 24-hours booking restriction for time tracking, the summary of news on the project over view page, and much more usability improvements and bug fixes.

We recommend updating to the newest version.

Action board for assignees

The new action boards for assignees allow to create agile boards with lists for individual users or groups. The assignee will automatically be updated when moving cards across lists. This allows very transparent prioritization of tasks and distribution of workload between individuals and teams.

Sort versions by name

We have now changed the sorting of versions in the drop-down menu by name not by dates. This makes it much easier to select a version from the list, especially when there are multiple active versions in one project.

No more 24-hour restriction for time tracking

The restriction to only allow the booking of 24 hours per day has now been removed. You can now summarize your time bookings and track more than 24 hours.

Show news summary on project overview widget

The summary of news will now be displayed in the news widget on the project overview page. This way, the summary of the most recent news will be communicated at one sight.

Upgrade to the OpenProject Enterprise Edition

With OpenProject 10.5 it is now much easier to upgrade an existing Community installation to the Enterprise Edition. Within your system Administration under -> Enterprise Edition you now have the possibility to start a 14 days free trial for the Enterprise Edition. Also, you can upgrade directly to get professional support, premium features, and additional security features. The Enterprise token will be generated and updated in your Community installation.

OpenProject 10.5 BIM Edition for construction project management

OpenProject BIM 10.5 will improvement BIM project management for the construction industry, especially with the support of the BIM Collaboration Format (BCF). With the BCF Management module, the OpenProject BIM Edition now offers a fast and intuitive form of central collaboration and coordination in your BIM projects. Release 10.4 has already added an IFC Viewer for the integration of 3D building models. Now, BCF issues can be created directly in the 3D model and managed centrally.

Collaboration and coordination in one central BIM project management software

OpenProject supports BIM project management with central planning, collaboration and coordination for BIM projects. The software thus connects all project participants in a web-based system. As a web-based coordination tool, all BIM issues can be created, managed and distributed centrally in OpenProject.

BCF Management for the construction industry

The core scenario enabled by the new release of the BIM Edition is BIM Issue Management with BCF. This enables issues in a construction project (e.g. clashes, requests, questions) to be crated and communicated directly on a 3D model or between several submodels.
Both, model-associated issues (BCFs) directly on the BIM model as well as non-model-associated tasks can be created and tracked.

Central BCF issue management and BCF communication in OpenProject

The BCF Issue management and communication is thus done centrally in OpenProject. Issues can be created directly on the 3D building model, jointly prioritized and analyzed, and assigned to the responsible BIM modelers.

OpenProject offers an ideal way to comment on and track BCFs. Powerful filter and search functions support fast and intuitive use and transparent tracking.

Support of open formats IFC and BCF

BCF Management in OpenProject is compatible with hundreds of applications that support the exchange formats IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) and BCF (BIM Collaboration Format).

Robust BCF import and export

BIM Issues can be created wherever the user identifies them, i.e. in his favorite BIM tool. These issues can then be easily imported into OpenProject - the central BCF management system - for centralized tracking and consolidation.
An export function can then be used to distribute the BCFs back to the local applications.

OpenProject 10.4.0

OpenProject 10.4.0

We released OpenProject 10.4. The new release of the open source project management software contains a new time tracking widget for the My page which facilitates visualizing and logging time spent on your tasks. Additionally, cost reports can now be exported to Excel.

Cloud and Enterprise Edition users can now choose between the default OpenProject theme, a light theme and a dark theme. This provides a good starting point for further customization.

Read below to get a detailed overview of what is new in OpenProject 10.4.

Spent time widget on My page

Tracking your own time is a lot easier with OpenProject 10.4. The release replaces the existing Spent time widget on your personal My page with a modern time tracking overview. You can now easily see your logged time in a comprehensive weekly calendar view.

The tasks you worked on are color-coded. Therefore, you see right away which tasks you spent the most time on in the current week. Viewing or changing your logged hours is also a lot easier - simply drag and drop the time block to the correct day to make a change.

Export cost reports to Excel

Having the ability to export cost reports was one of the most requested features. With OpenProject 10.4 you can just that. From your cost report set the appropriate filters and export it as an Excel document.

The Excel spreadsheet lists the tracked time, cost, as well as the different cost types. This makes it very easy to perform further computations or to forward the data to someone else, e.g. your accounting department.

Light and dark theme for OpenProject (Premium feature)

Cloud and Enterprise Edition users can now easily customize the look and feel of their OpenProject environment by using a custom logo and adjusting the color theme. With OpenProject 10.4 this gets a lot easier - thanks to default themes. Simply choose between the OpenProject theme, the light theme and the dark theme.

These themes are optimized and fulfill accessibility requirements. You can further customize them by starting with one of the default themes and adjusting individual colors based on your needs.

Updated menus for project and system administration

The menus in the project and system administration are updated with OpenProject 10.4. Wherever possible the tab navigation has been replaced with sub menus.

The other tabs menus have been updated to a modern layout. Additionally, the email settings have moved out into their own menu item in the system administration.

OpenProject 10.4 BIM Edition for construction project management

What is new for the digital construction project management for the building industry in OpenProject?

OpenProject contains a new IFC file model viewer to integrate 3D models in the IFC format in OpenProject. You can now upload IFC files and display the building models directly in your browser in OpenProject - withIFC model upload and viewer

Import of 3D building models directly in your OpenProject application. The supported format is IFC files.

Manage multiple IFC models in OpenProject

In OpenProject you can now manage multiple building models in IFC format in parallel. Browse through multiple models at the same time and selectively activate models such as architecture and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC). Set "default" models to be displayed.

IFC viewer integrated in OpenProject

OpenProject 10.4 supports to open 3D models and visualize building models directly in your browser. With this new integrated functionality for construction project management you can now easily share multiple IFC files with your team directly in OpenProject - integrated with all OpenProject functionalities for the project management along the entire building project life-cycle, i.e. BCF management, issue tracking, project planning, documentation.

View full 3D objects in OpenProject in IFC format. Select and display the model in total, for objects, classes and storeys for the building.

Switch between 3D and 2D view for your building model in OpenProject.

You can change between a 3D view or 2D view of the building model in OpenProject.

Slice objects to get exact view

You can slice 3D objects in all dimensions to get a view on the exact thing you need.

OpenProject 10.1

(To view this announcement on our blog, please follow this link)

What is new in OpenProject 10.1? One of the big improvements of the new release of OpenProject 10.1 is the project overview dashboard page with a new project status widget for online project status reporting.

Furthermore, we have included a lot of bug fixes and code maintenance to improve the overall condition of OpenProject.

Read below to get a detailed overview of what is new in OpenProject 10.1.

Project status reporting

A new project status widget can be added to the project overview page for easy and transparent project status reporting. It displays the project status in a traffic light.

Communicate the project status to your team and stakeholders in one place by displaying a status widget on the project overview page.

Show at one sight whether your project is on track, at risk or off track and add important project information, such as project owner, due dates, links to important resources and more.

The project status widget contains a placeholder NOT SET when initially activated.

This way, the project overview page can be extended to a detailed reporting dashboard for your projects.

Find out more about the new project status reporting in OpenProject.
