Timeline View (Gantt)
The timeline view (also called Gantt view) shows entries as bars on a time axis — ideal for project planning, production phases, and scheduling overviews.
Requirement
Section titled “Requirement”You need two columns that yield a date: one for the start, one for the end. Besides real date columns, Created at, Modified at and Formula, Rollup or Lookup columns with a date result work too — but bars on computed columns cannot be dragged.
Creating the view
Section titled “Creating the view”- Click + View → Timeline
- Choose the start column (left side of the bar)
- Choose the end column (right side of the bar)
Navigating the time axis
Section titled “Navigating the time axis”- Scroll: Scroll left/right to move along the time axis
- Zoom: Choose the granularity: days, weeks, months
Moving bars
Section titled “Moving bars”Click a bar and drag it to shift the start and end date simultaneously (moves the duration).
Drag the left or right edge of a bar to adjust only the start or end date.
Opening a bar
Section titled “Opening a bar”Click the name of a bar to open the row detail view.
Missing date values
Section titled “Missing date values”Entries without a start or end date are not displayed in the timeline. They remain visible in other views (table, Kanban).
Typical use cases
Section titled “Typical use cases”- Production timeline — pre-production, shooting, post-production
- Campaign planning — phases of an advertising campaign
- Project overview — milestones and deliverables visualised
Where is today?
Section titled “Where is today?”Today shows as a dashed line across all bars, with a Heute flag at the top. The Heute button in the bar jumps there.
If every date lies in the past or future, the range stretches to today — up to a quarter of a year. Beyond that a large empty area would appear, so a marker sits at the edge instead (“Heute ist später →”), which also jumps there.
