Timeline View & Agenda Display

The Timeline view gives organizers a bird’s-eye view of their entire event schedule. Use it to spot conflicts, balance track loads, and fine-tune your agenda layout.

Open Timeline View

1. Go to Setup → Sessions.
2. Click the Timeline toggle at the top of the page (next to the List toggle).

The view switches to a horizontal Gantt-style chart.

Understanding the Timeline

The timeline chart displays:

• Rows — one row per stage/track (vertical axis)
• Columns — time slots in hourly increments (horizontal axis)
• Blocks — colored session blocks positioned by start and end time

Color Coding

Each session type has a distinct color:

Type	Visual
Seminar	Green block
Panel Discussion	Teal block
Workshop	Orange block
Keynote	Blue block
Networking	Grey block
Break	Light grey block

This makes it easy to see the mix of content across your agenda at a glance.

Multi-Day Navigation

For multi-day events, the timeline shows day tabs:

• Day 1 — Saturday, Apr 04, 2026
• Day 2 — Tuesday, Apr 07, 2026
• Day 3 — Wednesday, Apr 08, 2026

Click a tab to view that day’s schedule. Each day shows only the sessions scheduled for that date.

Drag and Drop

Move sessions directly on the timeline:

1. Click and hold a session block.
2. Drag it to a new time slot or a different stage row.
3. Release — the session snaps to the nearest 5-minute interval.
4. The session’s start and end times are automatically updated.

Tip

Drag-and-drop is the fastest way to resolve scheduling conflicts. Move a session to a different stage or time slot without opening the edit form.

Spotting Conflicts

The timeline makes scheduling conflicts immediately visible:

• Overlapping blocks on the same stage row indicate two sessions competing for the same room at the same time.
• Gaps between sessions show open time slots — useful for inserting breaks or networking time.
• Dense stages with back-to-back sessions may need speaker transition time.

Caution

The timeline does not prevent you from scheduling overlapping sessions on the same stage. Use it as a visual tool to manually verify your schedule.

Current Time Indicator

During live events, the timeline shows a vertical line at the current time. This helps you quickly see:

• Which sessions are currently in progress
• Which sessions are coming up next
• Which sessions have already ended

Agenda on the Event Website

The session schedule appears on your event website through the Sessions Widget:

Configure the Agenda Widget

1. Go to Design → Page Builder.
2. Add a Sessions Widget to a page.
3. Choose the display style:
   • List view — vertical list grouped by day
   • Grid view — card grid layout
   • Timeline view — horizontal timeline (similar to the admin view)
4. Enable filters so attendees can filter by track, type, or speaker.
5. Publish.
