Create Timeline Header Events

Timeline header events are used to highlight significant external dates that may impact a project but are not necessarily tasks within the schedule. For example, if a project is located on a college campus, you might use these events to mark "Finals Week" or "Spring Break" to alert the team of potential site restrictions or noise ordinances during those periods.

Required User Permissions: 'Standard' level permissions or higher on the project's Scheduling tool.

   • Note: The event will now appear as a vertical representation across the Gantt chart.
