What is Timeline?

Organized chronologically from the earliest to the latest, Timeline offers a comprehensive visual summary of your daily shifts. 

By reviewing the schedule arranged in chronological order, you can easily identify any gaps or instances of too much coverage. This allows you to observe how shifts may overlap, intersect, or fail to adequately cover the required time. The Timeline feature simplifies this process by providing an instant visual summary of your shifts for the day.

To find Timeline, click the Schedule icon in Dashboard.  The Timeline icon is the second icon from the right.
