Timeline View

The Timeline view is a versatile and widely used feature suitable for a range of use cases. It provides an effective way to create Gantt-style visualisations with clear dependencies and milestones, enabling users to communicate strategy, plans, and future roadmaps with clarity.

The Timeline view can be configured to scroll, enabling more complex timelines to be displayed while maintaining clarity and readability.
