Task Timeline User Guide

Thank you for your interest in Task Timeline! I hope you find this app useful. I’ve tried to make the design as straightforward as possible.

The Four Tabs

Timeline

This is the main viewing page intended to give you a look at all of your projects and tasks at a glance. On this page you can:

• Add a new task
• Select the desired grouping:
  • Project
  • Owner
  • Category
  • Status
  • Priority
• Use the arrow next to the Group By button to reverse the sort direction
• Select the desired sort criteria within each group:
  • Date
  • Status
  • Priority
• Adjust the zoom level of the timeline:
  • Use preset sizes (Fit, Quarter, Detailed)
  • Use pinch gesture on an empty area to expand or contract
• Adjust task timing:
  • Long press to activate the move icon and date handles

Task

Inline editing of task information can be done on this screen for quick, clear edits.

• Create new categories, projects, owners, etc. by selecting the field in an existing task
• Handle deletions inline (tasks or specific attributes)

Calendar

See how your tasks stack up on a daily basis on a scrollable calendar that covers the entire scope of your existing plan.

Settings

• Select from an extensive color palette to change background elements
• Set default grouping, zoom level, and sort criteria for the timeline

Design Philosophy

The idea is to keep fundamental personal task tracking as simple and straightforward as possible without overloading the interface with features. I have purposely not added task connections or Gantt functionality to this release. If there is significant interest, I can plan it for future updates.
