The Timeline feature enables you to manage, visualise, and plan project data with time-specific views for surveys, markups, and models, supporting effective 4D planning. This guide will help you make the most of the Timeline’s capabilities.
How the Timeline Works
Timeline dates can be applied to any content type (surveys, models, 2D layers, markups etc).
These dates determine the time period over which layers are visualised in a Workspace.
If no Timeline dates are set, the item will be visible across all time.
Timeline dates are project-level, e.g. if a timeline date is applied to a layer in one workspace, it will apply to all workspaces containing that layer.
The Timeline located at the top of your Workspace. To select a specific month or week to view, simple click on it. In the image below February 2025 has been selected:
You can choose to display the Timeline in weeks, months or years:
Adding Timeline dates to Content
Timeline dates can be applied from within a Workspace or the Content page.
To apply timeline dates:
Click on the item that you want to add Timeline dates to, to open it.
In the Timeline dates section select a start and end date using the date picker.
To clear Timeline dates simply click on the 'x' beside the date.
Note: Point clouds a "Capture Date" field, which is an attribute only and does not affect the layer's visualisation period.
