Timeline Navigation

In Ganttic, all Views display data in a visible time period. Use the calendar header to take you to the right spot in your plans. Whether you want to check in on what’s to come or remind yourself of some past Projects and Tasks, this feature will help you get there. See how!

Must Know

• Timeline navigation options can be used for a better overview or a new POV. The options you have applied on the calendar header or on the top left calendars cannot be saved for the Views as they are for ongoing navigation only.
• Use the Time Period feature to set a default shifting visible time period to your Views. 
• All Owners, Admins can use this feature at all times. Users can use the calendar header's navigation options with Public or Shared Views, or with Open-Access URL Views with "Lock timeline option" disabled.
• Each time unit on the calendar header (day, week, month, year) is clickable to zoom in or out. The calendar header is also scrollable (left-right and vice versa) on all levels (year, month, week, day).
