Setting up the Gantt plugin

App admins install the Gantt plugin in an app.

This article has instructions to install the Gantt plugin with the Quickbase Gantt Template app. We recommend using the template app, but you can build your own. Learn more about the required app structure in Reference: Gantt plugin and the relationships between tables in Gantt plugin.

Downloading the Gantt Template App

1. Go to the My Apps page. 
2. Select Explore Sample Apps. 
3. Search for, and then get the Quickbase Gantt Template App.
   
4. Create the app, and then open the app settings. 

Installing the Gantt plugin 

Note: The Plugins setting in the Admin Console must be set to All users can install and edit plugins before installing a plugin. 

1. In your Gantt Template app, open the App Settings.
2. In Advanced Features, select Plugins. 
   This is where you browse available plugins. To learn more about each plugin, open the Plugin details. 
   
3. Find the Gantt plugin, view the details, and then select Install. 
4. Add details for the installation including a title, and then select Next. 
   This takes you to step 2 of installation. 
5. Select the field mappings for the different tables, and then select Save. 
   This installs the plugin, and you can start using it. A new button displays at the end of your project table form to launch the Gantt plugin. After you install the plugin, you can view the plugin details and customize things like permissions, the button appearance, and where it displays on the form.
