Redmine-Plugin: XML-Task-Importer for MS Project
9 stars 11 forks source link

= Redmine-Plugin: XML-Task-Importer MS Project == Requirements Redmine 2.x, 3.x

== What you get: The plugin creates one root-ticket (task) into te current project, which holds the other (sub)tasks as subtickets.

Right now the plugin only imports tasks from the XML-file. If the resources are persons it tries to match them with registered redmine users. If no matching user is found, a warning is produced, but the import is still possible – in this case the resulting ticket will not have an owner.

== What is imported: Task.Name, start_date, finish_date, create_date, duration, done_ratio, priority, predecessor, notes

== Installation 1) go to {REDMINE_ROOT}/plugin directory.

2) Intall: git clone https://github.com/braini75/msproject_import.git 3) Restart the redmine service. E.g. service apache2 restart 4) enjoy!

  2. access a redmine project, then click "MS Project Import" tab (Make sure you gave permission to the current user).
