The plan owner can add other fields from spaces as well. Some fields might not be available for all spaces and work types. Read more about adding fields from spaces.

Show or hide columns on your timeline

You can show or hide columns using the Add fields button on your timeline. Once open, you’ll see a list of the current columns visible on your timeline.

Add a field by selecting the Choose fields… dropdown menu. After this, the field will show in the Add fields menu.

You can reorder your columns by re-arranging the list of visible fields, or remove them by selecting the x next to it’s name.

Tips for column management

If you want to add a lot of columns to your timeline, you can drag the left or right edge of the column to resize it. You can also select the column header to collapse (or expand) it.

If you want to replace the timeline bars with more columns, select List next to View settings. More about the list in your plan
