Introducing CRM Timeline control

This article shows how to present CRM data in a chronological timeline format. Timeline is best suited for those entities which have one or more date field in them. For example – Task, Work Orders, Inspections, Resource Bookings, etc.

Task has a start date and end date. The GIF below shows how a task timeline can be displayed inside Dynamics 365 using the PowerApps Control Framework.

Key notes about the footage below

1. There are 7 tasks with start date and end date.
2. Initially All Tasks views shows information in tabular format.
3. Then Task Timeline view shows the same information in Timeline format.
4. It is easy to visualise overlaps of tasks and other chronological details which get lost in the tabular view.
5. On hover, it shows the start date and end date
6. Lot more can be done onClick, onDrag, etc. but for now just a basic sample.

The code is on my Github.
