Timeline View

Timeline

A horizontal resource timeline: one row per resource, bars across a continuous multi-day axis, overlaps stacked into lanes.

On this page

The timeline view turns the scheduler sideways: resources become rows and time runs horizontally across a continuous multi-day axis — bars are not split at midnight. Overlapping bars in a row stack into sub-lanes and the row grows to fit.

Configuration

Option	Default	Description
`timelineDays`	`7`	Days covered (and stepped by prev/next).
`timelineHourWidth`	`48`	Pixels per hour — the horizontal zoom.

The resource label column width is the --cui-scheduler-timeline-label-width token (default 10rem).

Interactions

Drag a bar horizontally to move it in time (snapped), or into another row to reassign its resource.
Drag a bar edge to resize; all-day bars snap to whole days.
Drag across empty space in a row to create an event there.
Keyboard: grab with Enter, move in time with ←/→, between resources with ↑/↓, confirm with Enter. F2 opens the edit dialog. Creating by keyboard is currently available in the time-grid views only.
