Latest release¶

The original version of the plugin is no longer available, however the most recent fork appears to be at https://github.com/cou2jpn/redmine_charts.git

Description¶

The Charts plugin integrates some project-based, time-tracking charts. Most of the charts provided by this plugin depend on issues which have a certain amount of estimated time set and logged spent-time (on plugins as well as on the project itself).

Chart types¶

In total four kinds of charts are provided by the plugin:

1. Burndown
   • Timeline with estimated, logged and remaining hours.
2. Logged hours ratio
   • Number of hours which were logged, proportional to total total, grouped and filtered by users, issues, activities, categories, version, priorities or trackers.
3. Logged hours timeline
   • Timeline with logged hours, grouped and filtered by users, issues, activities, categories, version, priorities and trackers.
4. Logged hours deviations
   • Ratio of logged and remaining hours to estimated hours for each estimated issue.
