How to use the Timeline: add tasks, activities and phases

The Timeline is your build programme. It shows each task, how long it takes and when it happens. A task and an activity are the same thing in MyBuildHub, so use whichever word suits you.

Create a timeline

1. Go to Timeline and click + New Gantt.
2. Enter a name and your start date.
3. Choose your working days and hours.
4. Click Create new project.

Add a phase

Phases are the main stages of your build, such as Design, Planning or Construction.

1. Scroll to the bottom of the task list.
2. Click + Add Phase.
3. Type the phase name and press Enter.

Add a task or activity

You can do this two ways:

• Click + Add Task at the bottom of the task list, type the name and press Enter.
• Or just type the task name straight into the row and press Enter.

To add a task inside a phase, hover over the phase row and click the + icon.

How phases and tasks work together

• Each task or activity sits under a phase.
• The phase bar runs from its first task to its last task.
• The phase dates, duration and % complete update from its tasks.
• Click the arrow next to a phase to show or hide its tasks.

Edit your timeline

• Double click a cell to change a task name, duration, start or end date.
• Drag a bar to move a task to new dates.
• Drag the circle on a bar to another task to link them.
• Hover over a row to open its details or delete it.

View and share

• Click Day, Week, Month or Year to zoom in or out.
• Use Critical Path, Overdue and Filter to focus on what matters.
• Click Export to print or save your timeline.

Tip

• Keep your timeline up to date. Your cash flow is planned around it.
