Make timelines with Milestones Professional

 
 

Milestones Professional enables you to create, track and communicate dates and  events on professional-looking timelines.

 

Timelines are a great tool to use when you need a simple way to visualize any sequence of events-past, present, or future.  With Milestones Professional, organizing and designing a timeline that fits your needs is simple.  Just decide what events you would like to display, choose the appropriate date range, and begin creating your timeline.  You can even insert images and illustrations to enhance the final product!

 
 
   
 

 Historical Timelines

Need to know which president was elected after Abraham Lincoln?  Use a historical timeline to show the relationship among important events of the past.

 

Spruce up your timeline by matching symbols to particular events with the help of a legend.  Legends can be fixed at the bottom of the schedule or "floating," as in this schedule.  You can even set the background color of the legend independent from the other chart colors. 

 

Insert pictures and graphics into your schedule to highlight the main theme of your timeline.  If you need to make a new timeline based on the same theme, you can create a template.  Save up to 5 individual pictures with any template.

 

Create vertical gridlines to emphasize different lengths of time, from days to months, years, or even decades as in the timeline shown here.  Control the type of line and shade color depending on the degree of separation you prefer.   

 
 

Business & Corporate Timelines  

 

How does this fiscal year compare to last year's returns?  Find out by using a timeline to visually evaluate marketing, resource, and financial data.

 

Organize the numerical information that you would like to show along with your schedule by using a DataGraph. The numerical values are contained in value categories called ValueSets and then graphed separately or together in any of the three available DataGraph forms. 

 

Display any time span important to your timeline with a vertical curtain.  Curtains can be used to shade a holiday, historical event, or even scheduled time off. 

 

Create up to four different user-defined headings per schedule. Any or all of these custom headings can be displayed using the four date heading levels on your schedule.  Each heading can be shaded differently, using any of the special fading effects available.

Event Planning

 

How will the volunteers, students, seminar attendees, or concert-goers know when to come to your must-see event? Use a timeline to present all the information you or your audience needs to know. 

 

Customize your timeline with unique symbols you import or create.  You can import a symbol by saving a picture to your symbol folder and choosing it from the "User Defined Shapes" in your Symbol Options box. Or, use the built-in Symbol Maker to create a variety of custom symbol shapes for your timeline.

 

Manage numerous events or activities by placing multiple milestones within one task line.  Multiple milestones make it easy to show a various events without making your timeline dense and unreadable.

 

Shape your timeline to fit your unique style with custom colors from every shade. Each heading and background can be shaded to your specifications.  And you don't have to stop there.  Fading colors with special effects adds even more dimension to your timeline.
