Example Use Case

The example below shows how a Scheduler View is used to visualize Changes within a Project. This includes various display modes such as calendar and timeline.


Calendar Modes

Calendar Options

Scheduler views support four calendar modes:

  • Day
  • Work Week
  • Week
  • Month

Each mode displays how items like Changes relate to each other over time.

Month mode of scheduler
Changes displayed on a monthly calendar


Timeline Mode

The Timeline mode groups Changes or other items within lanes per Project or resource. It opens in the week containing the current date.

If a project lane contains no items in the visible range, quick navigation tabs appear to jump forward or backward in time.

Scheduler timeline
Changes related to Projects shown in timeline format


Quick Navigation Tabs

These tabs appear when a timeline lane has no visible items. Clicking them jumps to the first item in the direction indicated.
