Customer Plugin¶

This is a plugin for Redmine that can be used to track basic customer information for each project. It was created so I could track which project belonged to which customer.

Features¶

For this first release, I implemented the most basic features.

• Store Customer data
• Associate a Customer for each project
• Permissions to control user access to data

Install¶

1. Download the archive file and extract it to your vendor/plugins folder. You can also download directly from GitHub using git:
   

   git clone git://github.com/edavis10/redmine-customer-plugin.git vendor/plugins/customer_plugin

2. Follow the Redmine [plugin installation][4] steps. Make sure to install Engines 2 if you use Rails 2.0.
3. Setup the database using the migrations.
   

   rake db:migrate_plugins

4. Login to your Redmine install as an Administrator
5. Setup the permissions for your roles
6. Add the "Customer module" to the enabled modules for your project
7. The link to the plugin should appear on that project's navigation as Customer

Usage¶

1. Use the "New" link to create a Customer.
2. Once you have created a customer, use the "Assign" link to assign a customer to a Project.
3. Continue doing steps 1 and 2 until you have assigned customers to all your projects you need.
