When a timeline has a lot of details, you can add an expanded timeline. The bracket interval has been updated so that brackets can be extended as a whole or switched to a leader line to conserve space. For example, a block interval can have text inside or outside the timeline, and can easily switch to a bracket or curly bracket interval. You can change the interval type through the right-click menu. This makes it even easier for you to switch between timeline styles! For example, when you drop an interval on a cylindrical timeline, the interval adjusts to fit the curved shape. Milestones and intervals have smart behavior to adjust their geometry based on the timeline type. You can set how the text aligns to the leader line by using the paragraph alignment properties available in the floatie or the Home tab. Tip: For timelines with several milestones, we added a text-positioning feature to help with spacing. Additionally, when you drag the leader line below the timeline, Visio automatically updates the position of milestones. (You can get the old position back through the right-click menu.) We made the leader line (the line that connects the milestone to the text) easier to position with one click. When you drop a milestone, it now sits on the top of the timeline by default.
To help you do this, we improved how you position milestone and intervals. Next, position your milestones so all the text is readable. To distinguish different categories of events or highlight significant deadlines, set the milestone type by using the right-click menu. You can now populate the timeline with your milestones and intervals. Now make all your milestones and intervals have the desired date format on drop, by entering them in the diaglog box. To do this, go to the Timeline tab, and open the “ Date/Time format” dialog. Tip: To make formatting milestones and intervals quicker, set the timeline defaults when you start. You can apply these combination of styles at any time! All you need to do is change the interim marker position through the right-click menu. You can create a ruler or divided timeline, as you did in previous versions of Visio. After you choose a shape, you can also choose from a greater combination of styles. We simplified the set of shapes, giving you the option to choose a block, line or cylindrical one. Don’t worry – you can switch between types at any time through the right-click menu.
The Timeline tab is a useful place to adjust settings for the entire diagram.įrom the Shapes Pane, chose one of three timeline shapes. The timeline template includes features that let you align milestones and intervals to timeline shapes based on dates.
In Visio, each template includes shapes and tools that are specific to a type of diagram. To begin, navigate to the Start Experience, and then find the Schedule category. Suppose you want to create a timeline to illustrate key milestones and map out events in your project.
