Timeline

Timeline is the place where you manage all ongoing and previous projects' statuses. Its power can be multiplied by script, media review, creative, workflow, distribution, and reporting features.

How to check your first project timeline!

  1. Go to one of your projects on the left pane and hit "Timeline" at the top;

  2. Click on "Script" or "Media review" depending on which task status you want to track;

    • Both “Script” and “Media review” offer the same features but for different tasks;

  3. [Take "Script" as an example], you can find one red vertical line denoting "Today" in the Gantt Chart with all scripts on the left;

    • If you don't have any script yet, the left pane will be blank;

  4. You can find the overall task progress on the left: "xx completed", "xx producing" and "xx rejected";

  5. Choose one of the grey arrows on the Gantt Chart to observe if the corresponding script task is on track: "On time", "Due in xx days", or "Overdue";

  6. You can also check the task review status: "Approved", "Completed", "Rejected", "Changes required", "Waiting for review" and "Draft"

    • "Approved" and "Completed" are marked with Green;

    • "Rejected" is marked with Red;

    • "Changes required" is marked with Orange;

    • "Waiting for review" and "Draft" are marked with Grey;

  7. You can find the scriptwriter for the task if any is assigned to the task; otherwise, the avatar will not appear for the script task;

  8. For script tasks with the same due date, a vertical progress bar appears at the end of each due date and automatically calculates the completion rate;

    • For instance, if two tasks share the same due date but only one is finished on time, the vertical progress bar will show 1/2 to indicate the completion rate;

  9. If you are interested in any of the scripts, simply choose one script on the left and you will be able to see the script content;

  10. Repeat the above steps to check the timeline for more projects!
