AnyDB Timeline Cell

Timeline Cell Type​

Timeline cells are designed to store a date range. They use a start date and an end date to represent work, events, bookings, tasks, or other records that span time.

Use a Timeline cell when a single Date cell is not enough because the record has duration.

AnyDB Multi User Cell

Common Uses​

  • Track project phases with start and end dates.
  • Schedule events that run across multiple days.
  • Show bookings, assignments, or availability windows.
  • Place records on Calendar View as multi-day entries.

How Timeline Values Work​

A Timeline cell stores two date values:

  • Start date: When the time span begins.
  • End date: When the time span ends.

Both dates can be used for filtering, sorting, formulas, reports, and calendar-based views.

Calendar View​

Calendar View can use a Timeline cell to show records across multiple days. When a record is moved on the calendar, the underlying timeline dates can be updated based on the change.
