Question 1

How do I set start and due dates for a project in Quire?

Accepted Answer

To set dates for a project, go to the project's Overview page and click Add date. Select the due date you want for the project, then toggle on Set start date if you also want to record when the project begins. Once you save these dates, they appear automatically in the project's Timeline view, so you don't need to enter them separately there. You can also use these dates in calculations: Quire lets you embed formulas in the project or task description that reference project.start and project.due, for example project.due - project.start to calculate the total duration of the project. This is useful if you want to track how long a project is scheduled to run or compare planned duration against actual progress, without manually calculating the difference between the two dates each time.

Question 2

How do I track the progress of a Quire project?

Accepted Answer

Open the Overview tab at the top of your project page to see how your project is progressing. This tab always shows four fixed widgets that give you a quick snapshot of project status. Project Health displays active, completed, due, and overdue task counts alongside a trend chart tracking those metrics over time. Task Status Distribution is a pie chart showing all tasks broken down by status. Deadline Calendar is a calendar grid showing where due dates cluster across the month. Member Activity is a heatmap showing task activity per member over time. These four widgets are fixed on the Overview tab and cannot be resized, rearranged, or removed. If you want a customizable set of widgets instead, create a Dashboard tab for the project.

Question 3

Can I customize or rearrange the widgets on a Quire project's Overview tab?

Accepted Answer

No. The Overview tab always shows the same four widgets, Project Health, Task Status Distribution, Deadline Calendar, and Member Activity, in a fixed layout that cannot be resized, rearranged, or removed. If you want a customizable set of widgets that you can add, resize, and rearrange, create a Dashboard tab for the project instead. Dashboard view is available on the Professional, Premium, and Enterprise plans and offers a much wider library of widget types to choose from.

Question 4

How do I view the activity log for a Quire project?

Accepted Answer

The activity log in Quire records changes, updates, and actions taken on a project by any of its members, giving you a complete history of what has happened over time. To view it, click the Overview tab at the top of the project page, then click the detail panel icon to open the detail panel, where you'll find Recent Activities. This opens a chronological log of past actions, such as task creation, status changes, and other updates made by team members. Reviewing the activity log is useful when you want to catch up on what happened while you were away, confirm that a specific change was made, or get a general sense of how active a project has been. Because the log covers actions from all project members, it is also a shared record of accountability that anyone on the project can check without needing to ask other members directly what they changed.
