Follow progress on the timeline
See finished tasks, milestones, budget alerts and before-and-after photos along the project's life.
The timeline shows what the project has reached, under a line of how complete the project was along the way. Activity, by contrast, lists everything people did.
Open the timeline#
- Open your project.
- Select the Timeline tab.
The figure at the top is how complete the project is now.
What it shows#
- Project started: the day the project was created.
- Target completion: the date set in the project's details, if there is one.
- Task finished: each top-level task on the day it was completed. Subtasks show within their task.
- Milestone reached and Milestone due: tasks marked as milestones, filled in once done and hollow while still to come.
- Budget alerts, such as "80% of the budget used", for members who can see money.
- Before and after: a before photo and its after photo, on the day the after photo was added.
Select an entry to open what it's about: a task, its photos, or the budget.
Zoom in and out#
On a computer, choose Week, Month or Whole project in Zoom. Zoomed in, the timeline opens at today: scroll sideways to go back in time.
On a phone the timeline is a list running downwards, oldest first, under a small chart of the completion line.
Make a task a milestone#
- Open the task and go to the Details tab.
- Tick Milestone and select Save task.
A milestone without a due date only appears on the timeline once it's done.
