Redmine Outlook Addin Description
Project management is a very important task in any business venture. As such, many digital tools have been created to assist managers with keeping track of all the members’ activity and the overall progression. All the while, other programs have sought to bridge the gap between various similar management programs.
Transfer data from the Redmine server
Although not a full-fledged standalone application, Redmine Outlook Addin is one such utility that seeks to provide Outlook and Redmine users with a common ground on which to base their business decisions. In essence, the Outlook plugin allows one to synchronize data between the Redmine server and the Microsoft mail manager.
Once connected to the Redmine server (this is a requirement for the plugin to work properly), one can synchronize contacts information, as well as create new tasks and projects. One of the great features is the ability to add local files as attachments; also, when creating a new project, the addin allows all the parties involved to communicate via a built-in chat.
Import only certain items by defining filters
As with similar products, one can flag tasks as having increased priority and a highly intuitive slide bar allows managers to inform project members of the completion status. Other Redmine items can also be transferred, such as calendar events, inbox or drafts messages and even deleted entries.
A “Search Folders” function can be employed to locate items quickly and an interesting feature is the ability to apply process filters when synchronizing items between Redmine and Outlook. For example, one can import only completed projects or exclude tasks older than a given number of days.
The plugin allows users to transfer data between the Redmine server and the Outlook mail account
All things considered, Redmine Outlook Addin is a simple, but highly practical tool for anyone operating both a Redmine server and an Outlook account.
