How can I show Timeline as a default item under Project Overview?

Added by W. Liu about 8 years ago

The Settings does not have timeline to be displayed by default.

Thank you!

Yes, that works.

Go to “Administration” > “System settings” > tab “Projects” and check “Timelines” next to “Default enabled modules for new projects”.
For new projects the timelines is now activated by default.

Best,
Robin

Thanks Robin.

That is enabled already. I did not explain myself clear enough.

What I want is to have the timeline displayed automatically under project overview. Currently, under project overview, when I click the “gear” symbol at upper right to “personalize this page”, timeline is not available to be picked from the pull down menu, while others (subproject, members, calendar, etc.) are available.

I wish to show the timeline like this: https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject

Thank you.

Hi Wanbo,

to show the timeline on the project overview you need to add a “Teaser…” from the dropdown menu (which is basically a wiki page) and then enter the following macro on the teaser:

This legacy timeline macro has been removed and is no longer available. You can replace the functionality with an embedded table macro. whereas “1” is the ID of the timeline report you want to embed. You need to replace this with the ID you see when you select the timeline report at the end of the URL (e.g. https://community.openproject.com/projects/openproject/timelines/36 would be 36).

When you save and leave the edit mode the timeline should be shown in the widget.

Best,
Robin

Hi! I tried to find how to activate the timelines but currently there I see no such option in "System settings".

I have system admin credentials - what am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance,

Nataly

Hi Nataly,

you can activate the Gantt chart directly from the work package page.

Please take a look at our user guide for details.

Best regards,
Robin
