Directus Timeline Chart Panel

Present a series of tasks or events with a start and end date on a graph. You can also group data into categories on the y axis and seperate tasks into different colors.

Usage

The graph will be rendered within the new panel. While small, the graph won't show legends or labels. Hover over data points to reveal the value (if enabled).

If you choose to split the task/event into different series, a legend will appear at the bottom. Hover over a series in the legend to highlight all data for that series. You can also toggle which series are visible by clicking the series label in the legend.

You can change the following options:

• Collection Selection
• Filters
• Y Label
• Start and End Dates
• Display Text on the task/event
• Grouping
• Color
• Hide/Show Tooltips
• Data Labels

Requirements

• Directus 10.10.0+
• DateTime, Date or Timestamp field for Date Start and Date End fields
• String field for Y Axis Labels
• Fields must be in the same table
