Gantt Plugin

App administrators on Enterprise and Business plans now have access to the fully interactive Gantt Plugin for Quickbase. Use the plugin to visualize project data and view it in an interactive interface. The plugin includes powerful project management features such as dependency types, baseline dates, automatic scheduling, and resource management.

By default, the Plugins feature is not active. In the Admin Console, an account admin needs to navigate to Permissions and select All users can install and edit plugins for the Plugins setting. This setting can take a few minutes to apply, and you might need to refresh the page or clear your cache.

Download the Quickbase template application, and then install the plugin by navigating to App settings > Plugins to start managing your project data. Customers with enablement service plans can utilize their hours for help with getting the Gantt Plugin installed in their existing apps. The plugin requires a specific app structure, so we recommend starting with our template app.

When you launch the plugin from your app, your project information displays in a way that you can drag and drop, rearrange, and expand and collapse different details, tasks, and information. We make it easy to undo and redo changes or export all project information.

Enhancements

SCIM user provisioning – update sso UniqueID

You can now use SCIM to update the ssoUniqueID for provisioned users. For example, if your active directory issues a temporary email address for guest users at the time of provisioning, use SCIM to update the ssoUniqueID so the SAML finds the correct user when they log in.

Learn more about how you can use the SCIM user provisioning enhancement in the help center.
