Build a departmental forward plan in SharePoint online
I’m looking for an online departmental forward plan like this:
The specifications are:
- Months appear horizontally
- Scroll back and forward to previous years
- Up to 10 entries visible
- Colour codable
- Clickable for more details
- Some items may go across two or more months
- Editable from a list
- We don’t need day or week functionality, just months
I've built something similar in SharePoint 2013 using a workflow to create an html table from a list, but that didn't include the option of going across two or more months. I could figure out how to do that in SharePoint online I guess, but was wondering if anyone knows of a:
- product that does this off the shelf
- better way of approaching this
Thank you for reading and for any suggestions.
- Good Morning NCCAdm,
I was looking at your tool, and have also been trying to attempt something similar as well. I've found I have gained a fair bit of control by building something like this, freehand, in Visio. I've been experimenting with a technique called 'Expanded Timelines'. Do a quick find for 'Expanded Timelines' on this page and see if it helps to trigger any brainstorming ideas. Hope this helps! https://www.tutorialspoint.com/microsoft_visio/microsoft_visio_quick_guide.htm
