ActivityTimeline allows you to quickly move through user timelines and switch between different planning periods. This helps you review short-term schedules, long-term workload, and future availability without leaving the Planner view
Navigating the Timeline
You can navigate through the timeline using the controls at the top of the Planner.
Navigation Arrows
Use the navigation arrows to move backward or forward through the selected planning period.
The navigation behavior depends on the currently selected scope. For example, if the Week scope is selected, the arrows move the timeline to the previous or next week.
Available navigation options include:
Previous / Next
Moves the timeline backward or forward by one selected planning unit.
For example, in the Week scope, it moves to the previous or next week.
Fast Previous / Fast Next
Moves faster through the timeline, depending on the selected scope.
This is useful when you need to quickly move across longer planning periods.
Today
Returns the timeline to the current day, week, month, or period, depending on the selected scope.
Date Picker
Click the arrow next to Today to open the calendar date picker.
From the date picker, you can select a specific date, week, month, or year and jump directly to the required planning period.
This is useful when you need to review historical plans or schedule future work.
Scope Selector
Use the Scope Selector to choose how much time should be displayed on the timeline.
The available scopes are divided into two groups:
Fixed Period
Displays the full selected period in one view.
Scrollable Period
Displays the selected period with wider timeline cells and allows horizontal scrolling.
