Overview

The Qlik Sense Timeline Chart is a chart extension for the use in Qlik Sense Desktop or Server. It is versatile chart that allows you to depict how multiple artifacts, be they projects or resources, are active/used over time in relation to each other.

Examples:

• You are managing a software project and want to illustrate who is doing what and when
• You are organising a conference and need to schedule meeting rooms
• You are running marketing campaigns and would like a scheduling overview

The Qlik Sense Timeline Chart leverages the Google Chart API.

Usage

Use 3 or 4 dimensions (no measures):

• Dim 1 (required): Main dimension and row label
• Dim 2 (optional): Bar label
• Dim 3 (required): start date, format YYYY-MM-DD (ISO)
• Dim 4 (required): end date, format YYYY-MM-DD (ISO)

You currently need to ensure that all start and end dates exist. Dates will need to be converted to YYYY-MM-DD as required by the Google Chart API.

Example configuration using three dimensions (without optional bar labels):

Custom settings:

Additional parameters can be set to change the appearance of the chart:

• Show row labels: shows or hides the row labels in column 1
• Group row labels: groups labels with the same name into a single row
