Every path that matters, on one Gantt.

Timeline puts your schedule, critical path and targeted paths side by side, with saved views, bookmarks and search built for planners who live in the schedule.

Why teams choose it

Three reasons it earns its place.

01

Every path that matters.

Switch between the schedule, the critical path and a targeted path to any activity, and collapse overlapping paths into distinct sequences.

Critical and targeted paths
02

Set it up once.

Save your filters, columns and layout as named views that re-apply on every new version, on any device.

Saved views
03

Find anything, follow any chain.

Fuzzy search finds activities through typos, and every predecessor and successor is one click away.

Search and relationships

Technical specification

Built for planners who live in the schedule.

Views
Schedule, critical path and targeted path, in one Gantt
Critical path
Total float or longest path, set once in workspace analysis settings
Paths
Driving paths ranked by path float, with overlapping paths collapsed into distinct sequences
Targeted path
The path into any target activity, with an optional pass-through activity
Layout
Tree by WBS or a flat list, loading collapsed at WBS level
Filters
Activity codes such as one contractor’s work, bookmarks only, and a combined filter bar
Saved views
Filters, columns and layout, re-applied on new versions and available on any device
Navigation
Fuzzy activity search, clickable predecessors and successors, and activity popups that flag new information

Paths

The critical path, and the ones right behind it.

See every driving path into a milestone ranked by path float, choose total float or longest path, and make paths distinct so shared activities don’t repeat.

Saved views

Your layout, every time.

Save the filters, columns and layout you use most, apply them in one click, and they’ll still be there when the next version lands.

Navigation

Find it through the typo, then follow the logic.

Search finds activities even when the name is mistyped, and every predecessor and successor in the relationships drawer takes you straight to that activity.

Layout and filters

One contractor’s work, in tree or list.

Show the WBS tree or a flat list of activities, and filter by activity code to see exactly one contractor’s activities and float.

Total float or longest path. Your admins choose the method once in the workspace analysis settings, so every project is analyzed the same way.

The driving path into any activity you choose, such as a key milestone, with an optional pass-through activity to focus on one route through the logic.

It collapses overlapping driving paths into unique sequences, so shared activities don’t repeat and you see the true number of distinct paths.

Yes. Saved views re-apply automatically when a new version is ingested, and they’re available whenever you log in, from any device.
