I think what @Srinath mean is the ability to see the columns as a continuous timeline that can be scrolled horizontally similar to Google Calendar. But, the “event” is more like a kanban card that is rather ‘simple’ with the ability to customize its info (displaying relations in canvas, eg: Assignee, Status, Due Date, etc.) like in Notion or Trello instead of vertical duration bars like in Google Calendar as @Oshyan mentioned.
So the feature requested is to make a built-in horizontal timeline in the set view.
But, knowing this…
I propose a system for the Set “View as”, there are Grid (that already exist) and the requested Kanban— both, to be able to be applied together with Horizontal Timeline View.
- In Grid view, you can choose between 2 view formats.
One that is a regular Grid view that is now functioning.
The other one is combined with a horizontal timeline view and you got a Gantt view where you can see the duration as the bars lenght. [see my feature request for further explanation](Timeline / Gannt View)
- In Kanban view, you can choose between 2 view formats. The Regular Column Layout and the Timeline Column Layout.
The Regular Column layout, is the one that you customize yourself (like how it function in Notion). The Card layout is basically the object canvas that the properties/info (relation, such as Assignee, Status, Due Date, etc.) are displayed and can be customized, exactly like how you see it in Notion.
The Timeline Column layout are those that built-in (which is the continuous horizontal timeline) which @Srinath elaborated above.
With the horizontal timeline view as an option to be applied on Grid and Kanban, we can go further than Notion in terms of flexibility on data display and it also makes more sense.
