Timeline

 

Whether you have small, daily work items to keep track of or a project that spans over the course of several months, the Timeline report allows you and your team to easily view scheduled work items within your AgilePlace board.

Access the Timeline Report

To access the Timeline report, click the bar-chart icon in the upper right-hand corner of your board and select Timeline from the dropdown.

           

Click to expand or shrink

           

This will open the Timeline report for the board you’re in. 

View and Understand Scheduled Work

Scheduled work is defined as any card that has a planned start date, planned finish date, or both dates set within the card. The Timeline report gives you the option to view scheduled work by Week, 4 Weeks, Quarter or Year.

Scrolling with the arrows at the top of the report allows you to move left or right by seven days at a time.

Each work item on the Timeline report is depicted with the same Card Type color as the card it represents and the title for each work item. Card headers will display before each card title, if applicable.

Work items displayed on the Timeline report span from Planned Start to Planned Finish, with the beginning of the line starting on the Planned Start date and the end of the line ending on the Planned Finish date.

           

Click to expand or shrink

           

If the work item only has either a Planned Start or Planned Finish date, it will display as a one-day event on whatever date is set.

           

Click to expand or shrink

           

Hovering over an event displays more information about that work, and clicking on an individual work item takes you directly to that card in a new browser tab.  

Group the Timeline Report

Use the Group By menu to group work items by Assigned User, Card Type, Custom Icon, or Priority.
