Dashboard Widget: Gantt Chart View

SmartSuite now includes a Gantt Widget that allows users to visualize timelines and dependencies across records directly within dashboards—ideal for managing projects, tasks, and schedules at a glance.
‍

Key Highlights

• Widget Type: Gantt View – Displays records as events across a timeline with support for dependencies and durations.
• Resizable & Expandable: Users can resize and expand the widget, with default height of 432px and 2-column width.
• Inline Editing: Supports drag-and-drop, resizing, and editing of start/end dates and durations from the Gantt interface.
• Dependency Awareness: Automatically detects and configures dependency fields when available in the selected table.
• Toolbar Controls: Toggle visibility of view controls like Filter, Sort, Group, and Spotlight.
• Open Record Modal: Optional setting to allow opening detailed record views by clicking on Gantt events.
• Preserved Settings: Switching view types (e.g., from Grid to Gantt) retains applicable properties like Solution, App, and fields.
• Permissions-Respecting: View, create, and edit actions are enforced based on user’s permissions for the solution or table, not dashboard access.

How It Works

• Add the Gantt Widget from the dashboard and select your Solution and Table.
• Choose the appropriate View Type (Gantt) and configure optional settings like inline edit and toolbar visibility.
• Events are displayed along a timeline, with options to resize and move them to update associated date fields.
• If enabled, users can open record modals for quick editing or inspection.
• All changes are saved instantly if the user has dashboard editing permissions.
• Settings like dependencies, sorting, grouping, and filtering can be customized through the toolbar (if enabled).
• Backend respects record-level permissions for all record interactions, independent of dashboard role.
