Timeline
Your timeline contains visual representations of tasks, dependencies, progress, milestones and other key dates.
It is also where you will do most of your work. You can also adjust tasks and dependencies directly from your timeline.
Timeline Header
By default, the timeline header displays date and timeline increments, both of which change depending on your view level:
- zoom out to see larger intervals like months, quarters, or years.
- zoom in to see more granular details, such as weeks, days, or hours.
You can also visualize other time-based intervals:
- If you enable Sprint-based Scheduling, sprints will be shown in the top line of your header.
- If your team uses SAFe Program Increments, you can customize the header to display those as well. Go to Gantt Settings | Timeline | SAFe view and select View program increments on the timeline. Learn more: Timeline Configuration
Time Scale
You can quickly navigate or focus your timeline in a variety of ways:
...
- A task's position on the timeline is based either on its dependencies or on manually-set Start and/or Finish dates.
- If you have configured Gantt to track the progress of tasks, that will be shown inside the bar. To show/hide progress, use the Display Options menu.
- Completed tasks can be marked with a check icon. To show or hide Task Indicators, use the Display Options menu.
- If a task is part of the critical path, it is shown with a red box around it. You can show or hide critical path highlighting using the Options menu in the Gantt toolbar.
