Timeline View in Dashboard

Hello,

I am trying to add a timeline view to a dashboard I am working on, not a gantt view. Is this feature that can be done in smartsheet?

    I just suffered through trying to do this yesterday, and timeline view is not at this time available to embed in dashboards. My workaround was that I had a normal gantt chart embedded into the dashboard, and made the interaction of said widget open up the timeline.

    As it's a newer feature, so I'm hoping soon that we'll be able to embed the timeline view!

  • AGREED! This is the most disappointing rollout ever. Then they rollout board view, when they already have a card view, before even finishing the capabilities of this feature. COME ON!

    It would be very handy to have timeline view be able to be embedded in a dashboard, it's a lot clearer to see than a Gannt chart, and to have it live updated instead of using a snip of an image of one would be far better reporting wise. Please develop this

  • Trying to do the same thing here. The timeline view is the perfect application for the dashboard. I've been a long-time Smartsheet user and it's frustrating that obvious things to most of us aren't obvious to their dev team (can I get a short date anyone?). It's like nobody at Smartsheet has ever worked outside of Smartsheet or let alone sought feedback from a client before the rollout of a new capability. Looking forward to Blackstone's takeover.

  • Pretty please??? 🙏🙏🙏 Not opposed to begging if it will bump this up.

    FYI - This is why the ENGAGE conference is one of the most valuable conferences to attend. Its coming but I agree lets speed this one up!

    In the interim I would recommend setting up your timeline views and use shortcut, title, or image widget with a link to the timeline view.

    PLEASE….. When are we going to be able to use the timeline view in reports/dashboards. It's useless until we have that ability. My leadership is starting to move towards AirTable.
