QBeeQ Framework – QBeeQ

The QBeeQ Framework is the foundation for all QBeeQ plugins in Sisense, acting as a central hub where users can manage, install, and trial various QBeeQ solutions. It ensures smooth operation by providing shared libraries, such as amCharts and toastr, while also handling licensing and version management.

🛑

Before using any QBeeQ plugins, this framework must be installed and enabled. See Installing QBeeQ Plugins for more information.

The framework integrates directly into Sisense, appearing as a new menu option alongside Analytics, Data, and other key sections. Access is limited to Admins, Designers, and Data Designers, with Admins having full control over plugin management.

QBeeQ Framework Dashboard

ThQBeeQ provides a dedicated dashboard that lists all installed plugins. Each entry displays key details so that users can easily track plugin status, identify available updates, and manage their licenses efficiently.

QBeeQ Framework Notifications

To help ensure your environment stays up-to-date with the latest plugin versions, the QBeeQ Framework now includes in-product notifications for plugin updates. Admins and Sys Admins will see a visual indicator next to the QBeeQ Framework tab whenever a new version of an installed plugin is available.

ℹ️

Only Admins are notified. End users and non-admin roles do not see the indicator.

The update check runs automatically and checks installed plugins against available versions. The check can also be triggered manually via the Check Licensing button. If a new version is detected, a solid indicator icon appears on the QBeeQ Framework tab.

This check applies to both newly licensed plugins and version updates to existing ones. The indicator will not appear unless there is at least one plugin update available and remains visible until all available updates are installed. The notification does not include updates to release notes, documentation files, or other content.
