Using MeisterTask’s Timeline

In this video, you’ll learn how to use MeisterTask’s timeline feature, which is available for all Business users. Timeline can be enabled in the project properties. Once the feature is active, you can schedule a start and end date for your tasks and view them on a color-coded chart.

What is Timeline?

Timeline provides you with a visual, calendar-based project overview, allowing you to more efficiently plan, schedule and coordinate tasks with your team. 

By simply dragging-and-dropping tasks into your project’s Timeline, you can quickly schedule essential tasks and see an immediate overview of essential project information, including:

• Who is responsible for each task
• How long each task will take
• Which project phase is currently in development

Schedule Tasks Using Timeline

You can schedule and set due dates for project tasks simply by adding them to the Timeline. This can be done in three separate ways:

1. Drag and drop an existing task from your project board directly into the Timeline. Hold the CTRL key to select more than one task.
   
   
2. You can add tasks to your Timeline directly from the task window. Simply open a task and choose a start and end date using the the in-task scheduling calendar.
   
   
3. You can also schedule a task by double clicking on the Timeline.

1. Click the project name at the top of your project board, then select Project settings.
2. Navigate to the Power-Ups tab.
3. Enable/Disable Timing and Scheduling.
