TL;DR: Timeline is not a standalone project view — it is the horizontal scrolling time-axis component inside the Gantt Chart view. Taskade has 7 project views: List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, and Org Chart.
Timeline in the Gantt View
The timeline is the horizontal scrolling area inside the Gantt Chart view where tasks are displayed as bars along a time axis. It is not a separate project view — it is a core component of the Gantt view.
To use the timeline:
- Open any project
- Switch to the Gantt view using the view switcher in the toolbar
- Use the timeline — the right-hand panel showing tasks on a time axis
Timeline Features (Inside Gantt)
- Time Scale Selector — switch between daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly scales in the top-right corner
- Scroll the timeline — swipe with two fingers on your trackpad or click-and-drag with the mouse
- Seeker Arrows — jump to the next set of tasks on the timeline edges
- Set task duration — click the empty space on the timeline at the task's height level
- Adjust duration — hover over the edges of a task bar and drag to extend or shorten
- Reposition tasks — click and hold the center of a task bar, then drag left or right
- Pinch to zoom — zoom in for task-level detail or out for the full project overview
Why There Is No Separate "Timeline View"
Taskade provides 7 project views: List, Board, Calendar, Table, Mind Map, Gantt, and Org Chart. The timeline functionality — horizontal scheduling of tasks across a time axis — lives entirely within the Gantt view. If you need a simple date-based visualization without dependencies, the Calendar view is the best alternative.
