Project Timeline

The Timeline application displays a detailed log of activity in the project. This includes e.g. member role assignments, file transfers from landing zones, and changes to the sample sheets. The activity is displayed as a list of events.

Project timeline

For each event the following columns are available:

Timestamp

Time of the event’s creation. This doubles as a link to a modal which displays the event status history. This can be useful information e.g. in case of asynchronous background events.

Description

Description of the event. The description is preceded by a badge displaying the event type. If the event was initiated by a user, a badge displaying the user name and user type is displayed. Objects included in the description are linked to the respective application. Objects also have a history link displayed as a clock icon. Clicking on the icon opens a list of all events related to the object within the project. The title of the object also often works as a link to the related application. Possible extra JSON data is displayed as a link in the right hand side of the field. The link opens a modal displaying the JSON data.

Status

The most recent status of the event.

For viewing site-wide events not related to any specific project, open the User Dropdown and click Site-Wide Events.
