The timeline displays concurrent and/or sequential items visually on a time axis.
Do's
- label each item with a short, distinct and indicative heading
- order items sequentially
- always display the timestamp and heading for each item
Don'ts
- don't use when there are less than 3 items - use list instead
- don't use when all the items start at the same time
- don't place items in an order that isn't sequential
When to use
- when you want to present multiple consecutive items (events, occurrences, agendas, etc) visually
When not to use
- don't use for actions or to indicate steps
