The Timeline view is more flexible and can visualize any set of records over time, grouped by any field in your table.Įach swimlane corresponds to a group of records in the Timeline view, while a swimlane corresponds to a single record in the Gantt view. The Gantt view allows you to see every single step of a project from start to finish.

The Gantt view was designed with the Gantt chart in mind- you plot tasks, then the dependencies between those tasks, to visualize the “critical path” for a project. How is the Timeline view different from the Gantt view?

One of the most exciting features of the Timeline view is the ability to group your records by any of your table’s fields into visually distinct “swimlanes.” The Timeline view is ideal for resource allocation, coordinating tasks across a team, and planning content out ahead of time. The Timeline view allows you to visualize and track your records on a customizable horizontal scrolling timeline. Watch this video to see the Timeline view in action! See how to set up, work with, and share your Timeline view so you can make sure you and your team are always on time. The Timeline view is a premium feature available on bases within workspaces on either the Pro or Enterprise plans. Using the Timeline view, users now have a highly flexible way to visualize information over-you guessed it-time. We at Airtable know how important timing is, which is why we are launching a new view type intended to help you manage your time-based projects all in one place: the Timeline View. Every team knows the pain of trying to answer the simple question: when? The question of when can get complicated when is a feature being released on a product roadmap, when should marketing materials be released on specific channels, when is your team’s bandwidth being stretched too thin?
