Difference between events timelines & project timelines

This distinction allows you to effectively manage your Events at both the individual Event level and the comprehensive Project level.

In eventPERCH, it’s critical to understand the key differentiators between the Event Timeline and the Complete Timeline.

While both Timelines manage data efficiently, there are key differences in how they are displayed and exported.

Event Timeline

  • Showcases details specific to each individual Event in your Project.

  • Only reflects the tasks, activities, and Vendors related to that particular Event.

  • Any line items outside of the specific Event you are working within are hidden.

  • Any line items created within an individual Event timeline will be automatically folded into the Project Timeline.

The Event attribute column within this Timeline is not visible, as it pertains only to the broader Complete Timeline view.

Complete Timeline

  • Includes ALL Timeline line items from every Event within a Project

  • Its primary focus is providing a comprehensive view of ALL Event details happening simultaneously within one Project.

The primary addition to the Project Timeline is the Event attribute column, which indicates which Event each line item belongs to.

This column allows you to easily identify and differentiate tasks associated with individual Events within a larger Project context.

The Event attribute column does not appear on the individual Event timeline. To edit other Events details within your Project, open the specific Event from the sidebar menu.

Export Differences

When exporting the Timeline to PDF or Excel, the Complete Timeline export includes the Event attribute column to indicate which Event the line item is assigned to.
