Dynamic Timeline
Timeline
The timeline has 2 states:
Days range
Hours range
Transition to the Hours range happens 1 hour before the first meeting starts (the “Session“ checkpoint).
Timeline checkpoints:
On the frontend | In the admin panel |
|---|---|
Voting Ends | Collect revised lists |
Receive Schedule | Send final schedules |
Session | Session |
Meeting 1 | Meeting 1 |
Meeting 2 | Meeting 2 |
Meeting …. | Meeting …. |
Meeting N | Meeting N |
Session end | Session end |
Timeline starts as soon as the session is created and ends 10 minutes after the “End Session“ checkpoint has been reached.
The date and time of milestones “Collect revised lists“/”Voting Ends”, “Send final schedules“/”Receive Schedule” and “Session“ relate to respective fields in session settings.
Time of milestone “Meeting 1“ relates to “Meetings start“ field in session settings.
Time of Meeting 2 - Meeting N milestones calculates according to “Time of each meeting” and “Break between meetings” fields.
Time of milestone “Session End“ relates to the end of last session meeting and can be calculated from meeting duration and last meeting time of start.
When timeline is wider then the page container can contain, a horizontal scroll appears. When the time pointer reaches the middle of the timeline, the timeline centers automatically until the end of the timeline appears in the view zone and then the pointer just follows to the end of the timeline.
