Quire Timeline View Permalink
A timeline view is a Gantt-style chart that visualizes your entire project schedule — showing tasks as horizontal bars where each bar’s length represents its duration. Teams use timeline views to spot scheduling conflicts, manage dependencies, and make real-time adjustments to keep projects on track. In Quire, the Timeline view splits into a nested task list on the left and the interactive timeline on the right, letting you drag and reschedule tasks directly on the chart.
The Timeline view is only available in the Professional, Premium, Enterprise plans. More information can be found on our pricing page.
Tasks appear as horizontal bars, where the length of each bar represents duration. The main panel splits into a nested task list on the left and the timeline on the right.
