What is the proposed idea/solution?
I use the timeline view to plot upcoming translation projects and see what resources will need to be allocated to them over the coming months. I would love to be able to have the bar on the timeline change height depending on the size of the project, so I can see at a glance how much work each project represents. In my case, this would simply mean referring to a 'Number of Words' field for each project, then making a thicker bar for a higher number.
How does it solve the user problems?
I currently use colour coding to do something similar, but the colours are a little arbitrary, so it's not hugely intuitive. I could potentially also use the 'grouped by' feature to put bigger projects higher up and smaller lower down, but that's also not hugely visually immediate. I imagine this feature would also be useful to other users who wanted to get a similarly at-a-glance idea of the 'size' of a given record, or some other numerical quality.
How was this validated?
Not 100% sure what you mean here, but I've looked around and don't believe this is a feature or a currently suggested feature, but apologies if it actually is.
Who is the target audience?
Project managers, anyone else wishing to get an at-a-glance idea of the size of some aspect of a record when looking at it in timeline view.
