Timeline

There are currently two different timeline components: List - Timeline and Timeline.

• The List - Timeline component presents a simple list of items, each with a heading and simple WYSIWYG content.
• The more complex Timeline component uses a timeline chart to control an image gallery/carousel.

List - Timeline

The List - Timeline component is a simple list with each list item containing a heading and WYSIWYG content. The list will be styled with a line and round markers below or to the left of the items (depending on whether the list uses the Horizontal or Vertical orientation, respectively). When displayed horizontally, the list will display up to 5 items before wrapping onto a new line, depending on the contents of the items. On smaller screen/browser widths or when the contents of individual items require more width, it will wrap after fewer items.

The List - Timeline component will work both within [WYSIWYG] Content Containers and outside of them.

• Heading Level [Drop-Down]: Set the Heading Level from 2 to 6 (defaults to 3). Does not change the appearance of the headings.
• Orientation [Radio Buttons]: Horizontal (default) or Vertical. Set the orientation of the list.
• Timeline Entries [Group]: The list items:
  • Item Heading [Short Text]: The heading for the list item.
  • Item Content [WYSIWYG]: Content for the list item.

Timeline

The Timeline component uses a timeline chart to control an image gallery/carousel. The component supports the addition of Date Ranges and Moments to the timeline. Each Date Range or Moment can have an associated Image, which will be displayed in the image gallery when that item is selected in the timeline chart. A Date Range represents something which occurred over a period of time, with a starting and ending date. A Moment represents something which occurred on a single day.
