Scheduling Cards with Timeline View

In this article:

Overview

The Timeline view is the time-dependent way to organize project realization. The main purpose of this view is to organize the tasks you have to do and determine the order of activities. Use this view to adjust the dates of your cards faster than usual. You can both change the length of time to complete the task and move the entire time frame to another date. 

Changing the start or due date

To change the start date:

  • Hover over a card, and then drag the left edge of the card and extend or shorten it by moving it to another date.

To change the due date:

  • Hover over a card, and then drag the right edge of the card and extend or shorten it by moving it to another date

Example: When you change card dates, cards are moving between rows.

Cards are moving between rows because they are trying to get in line.

Try to complete cards in sequence, not overloading yourself with too many tasks at once. Use the Timeline view to control the workload and learn to prioritize your tasks.

Rescheduling cards

Rescheduling a card means changing the start date and the due date of the card without changing the card’s duration. In practice, this means moving the card to the right or left along the timeline. Postpone the task for later. 

To reschedule a card:

  • Drag the card and place it in a different position on the chart

Example: When you change card dates, cards are moving between rows.

Reschedule more cards at once - try multiselection

To reschedule more cards at once:

  1. Select cards with the Ctrl key pressed.
  2. Use drag and drop to change their location.
  3. Remember to deselect cards at the end using the Unselect button above the chart.
