Real-Time Project Visibility

Redmine Dashboard Plugin — Real-Time Project Visibility in One View

The Redmineflux Redmine Dashboard Plugin replaces Redmine's default views with fully customisable dashboards — charts, widgets, and performance data updated in real time. Built for project managers and IT directors who need project health at a glance without waiting for a manual report.

Dashboard Plugin Overview

What Redmine Doesn't Show You by Default

Redmine's default interface is built around individual issues and project lists. Without a dashboard layer, visibility at the project and portfolio level requires manual effort that consumes time and delays decision-making. There is no summary view — status requires navigating issue by issue through every project. Real-time health indicators are not visible to managers or stakeholders without custom report queries. Teams need exports or synchronous meetings to communicate current project status. A single consolidated view covering all active projects simultaneously is not available in the standard Redmine interface.

What is the Redmine Dashboard Plugin?

The Redmineflux Dashboard Plugin adds fully customisable, real-time dashboards directly inside Redmine. Project managers, IT directors, and delivery heads can configure charts, widgets, and performance views that reflect live project data — without building manual reports or exporting data to a separate tool.

A Customisable Visibility Layer Inside Redmine

The Dashboard Plugin enhances Redmine without replacing it. Every widget draws from live Redmine data. Every view is configurable by role and project scope. Managers who previously built status reports in spreadsheets or presentation decks can replace that process with a live dashboard that reflects the current state of all projects automatically. The result is faster decisions, less reporting overhead, and a shared view of project health that does not require a meeting to produce. Redmine, upgraded for operational maturity.

What is the Redmine Dashboard

What Your Team Gains with the Redmine Dashboard Plugin

Project health at a glance — without manual reporting.

Every dashboard widget pulls live data from Redmine. Status is current the moment anyone opens the dashboard, which removes the preparation time that manual reporting requires before every review meeting.

Role-specific views configured for each audience.

Project managers, team leads, and executives do not need the same data presented in the same way. Each role can have a dedicated dashboard configured with the widgets, filters, and date ranges that support their specific decisions.

Always-current data without manual triggers.

Dashboards refresh automatically as Redmine data changes. New issues, status updates, time entries, and milestone completions appear on the relevant dashboard without anyone needing to update a report or trigger a refresh.

Reduced reporting overhead across every planning cycle.

Status preparation for weekly reviews, client updates, and leadership briefings is replaced by a live dashboard view. Teams reclaim the time previously spent building and distributing manual reports.

Multi-project visibility from a single view.

A portfolio dashboard covers all active projects simultaneously. Delivery heads and IT directors can assess project health across the full programme without switching between individual project pages.

Core Capabilities of the Redmine Dashboard Plugin

Widget Library

Build Dashboards from Structured Redmine Data Views

  • Issue status distribution charts show open, in-progress, closed, and overdue counts across any project or date range.
  • Time tracking summaries present logged hours by project, user, or activity.
  • Milestone and deadline widgets track key delivery dates with visual progress indicators.
  • Workload distribution overview displays team allocation at a glance.
  • Custom text, links, and external embed widgets support stakeholder-facing dashboard sections that include non-Redmine content.
Customisation

Configure Every Dashboard for the Audience That Will Use It

  • Drag-and-drop widget layout allows each dashboard to be arranged for its intended audience.
  • Multiple dashboards per user or per project support role-specific views within the same Redmine instance.
  • Role-based visibility controls which users can access each dashboard.
  • Widget-level filter settings by project, date range, and tracker allow fine-grained control over what each widget displays.
Multi-Project Views

See the Full Portfolio Without Switching Between Project Pages

  • Cross-project issue summary widgets aggregate status data from multiple projects into a single view.
  • Portfolio-level health indicators show delivery progress across all active initiatives simultaneously.
  • Filter controls allow the portfolio view to be narrowed by team, project type, or date range without leaving the dashboard.
Real-Time Data

Dashboards Always Reflect the Current State of Redmine

  • All widgets pull live data from the Redmine instance with no manual refresh required.
  • New issues, status changes, and time entries appear on the dashboard immediately.
  • There is no caching lag between Redmine activity and dashboard display, which means stakeholders always see current data when they access the view.
Export

Share Dashboard Views with Stakeholders Outside Redmine

  • Export dashboard snapshots to PDF for reports and stakeholder reviews.
  • The print-ready layout includes configurable widget selection and date range scoping.
  • Scheduled export options support recurring stakeholder updates without requiring anyone to log into Redmine and manually generate the report each time.

How the Dashboard Plugin Works with Other Redmineflux Plugins

The Dashboard Plugin surfaces data from all other Redmineflux plugins in one view. Time data from the Timesheet Plugin appears in time tracking widgets alongside issue status from the core Redmine issue tracker. Workload summaries from the Workload Plugin surface in team capacity widgets. Sprint progress from the Agile Board Plugin feeds into delivery milestone tracking — all from the same Redmine data foundation.

Managed Cloud

The Dashboard Plugin runs within Redmineflux Managed Cloud. Infrastructure is fully managed by the Redmineflux team. Updates are automated, backups are secured, and uptime is SLA-backed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create different dashboards for different users or roles?

Yes. The Redmineflux Dashboard Plugin supports multiple dashboards per Redmine instance. Each dashboard can be configured with different widgets, filters, and visibility settings. You can create separate views for project managers, team leads, executives, and individual contributors — each showing the data most relevant to that role without exposing information intended for a different audience.

Does the Dashboard Plugin pull data in real time?

Yes. All dashboard widgets pull live data from your Redmine instance. Status changes, new issues, time entries, and other updates appear on the dashboard immediately without requiring a manual refresh or data export. There is no caching delay between Redmine activity and dashboard display.

Can dashboards be shared with external stakeholders?

Dashboard export to PDF is available for sharing with clients or stakeholders who do not have Redmine access. For internal stakeholders with Redmine accounts, read-only dashboard views can be configured with controlled visibility settings. Direct external URL sharing without authentication is not supported by default.

Which Redmine versions are supported?

The Redmineflux Dashboard Plugin is tested and maintained against the three most recent stable Redmine releases. Compatibility is verified with each plugin update. Check the plugin documentation for the confirmed supported version list before installing on your instance.
