Timeline mode

Table of contents

The Timeline mode, besides the list of Boxes, provides a timeline on which all your Boxes will be presented in a task-like way. Here, you can show the Box hierarchy on both, the list and the timeline. Using drag and drop you can change the start and end dates of your Boxes.

The mini-map will help you in navigating and finding when which of your Projects and Initiatives represented by Boxes are about to start or are already in progress.

Mini-map

Navigate through all your Boxes using the mini-map. Click on the map to adjust the main timeline.

The Boxes in this mode are represented as bars just like on a Gantt chart and a "top-down" mode is used for the sub-Boxes. This means that lower-level boxes can not exceed the parent's period.

Box actions

In this mode, you can move or resize your Boxes using drag and drop.
