Hi - 

I am trying to use timeline view to display one bar per record, but to indicate more than start and end dates.

Possible?

Example: Big Event 17 has a start date, a ‘launch date’, and an end date

Is there any way to have the launch date simply/visually indicated on the single timeline bar for Big Event 17?

I suppose I could have it display the text of the  ‘launch date’ field in the title of the bar itself but was hoping for something more elegant... like a dot. 🤓  Are you all going to make me switch to Gantt view? 😉

Thanks

Hi ​@Erika_Mijlin,

 

Do you mean you want the launch date, which is not one of the dates you are using for the start and end of your timeline configuration display on the timeline bar? Something like this?

 

 

You can display field values by toggling the fields in the “Customize labels” settings. Let me know if this is what you meant, or if you meant something else.

Yeah I think the label’s your best bet, and even with the Gantt view it’d be on seperate row I’m afraid

Thanks all - I already have the label customized to show the launch date as text - was just hoping for a simple graphic way of showing it.

Appreciate the note about Gantt ​@TheTimeSavingCo 
And I will do the feature request as suggested ​@Mike_AutomaticN 

Thanks!
