Timeline block
Data view
The timeline block turns rows into a chronological story: each record becomes an event on a vertical rail, positioned by a date field and grouped under day headers (or year headers when the events span years).
When to use it
- Activity histories on a record page — every touchpoint with a customer, in order.
- Project milestones, release changelogs, event schedules.
- Anywhere "what happened when" matters more than field-by-field detail.
Settings
| Setting | Options | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Title field | — | The event's headline. |
| Subtitle field | — | Optional supporting line. |
| Date field | date / datetime | Positions and orders the events. Required — publishing checks it's a real date or datetime field. |
| Order | oldest first / newest first | Rail direction. Defaults to oldest first. |
| Row click | record view | The record page an event opens when clicked. |
Rows whose date field is empty are left off the rail — give the timeline a required date field if every record must appear.
Like every block, this one also has the shared block settings: a title and optional description, a header you can show or hide, auto-height, conditional visibility, and role-based visibility, plus the source table and record-filter settings shared by all data blocks.
