Timeline calendar

  • Updated

The timeline calendar view lets you plan long-term activity with a Gantt chart view to maintain a single, long-term, and comprehensive view of all marketing campaigns, events, and supporting content activity. You also have a holistic view of the current state of tasks and events, letting users see where they should be focusing their efforts.

Select Plan > Timeline to access the timeline calendar.
