How can I change my timeline view?

Filters on your timeline are a handy way to focus on specific issues. You can use them to only show issues that relate to product work, or highlight your team’s “keep the lights on” tasks.

You can find filters at the top of your timeline:

They only show once the field is relevant to the issues in your plan. For example, you’ll only see the Type filter option when more than one issue type is added to your plan, and label will only show when you have one or more labels assigned to issues. If a filter doesn’t show at the top of the screen, make sure the field you’re looking for contains a value.

These filters are different from a JQL filters in that they only hide them from the timeline view.

To change how many completed parent-level issues show on your timeline, go to the View settings menu, then select Show completed issues. You’ll then have the option to choose the timeframe you’d like to show on your timeline.

This setting only applies to parent-level issues. Story-level issues that are done but belong to an open parent-level issue will still show on your timeline.

To show or hide dependencies on your timeline:

1. From your timeline, navigate to the View settings menu at the top-right of your view.

2. Under the More details heading, tick the Dependencies box.

Easily monitor the progress of your project from your timeline view by enabling the progress bar. The bar that appears beneath a parent issue’s name indicates the progress of child issues. Learn more about the progress bar.

To enable or disable the progress bar on your timeline:

1. From your timeline, navigate to the View settings menu at the top-right of your view.

2. Under the More details heading, select the Progress box.

Use the timeframe selector in the bottom corner to zoom in and out on your timeline to view upcoming Weeks, Months, or Quarters.

To change the color of schedule bars from the issue side view:

1. Select the issue schedule bar to open the side view.

2. Next, select the colored square next to the issue summary to open the picker.

3. Choose your color, and your change is automatically applied.

To change the color directly from the schedule bar:

1. Right click on the schedule bar (or hold control before clicking).

2. Choose a color from the menu.
