Timeline Navigation

Working with Events

Click any active time slot to open the Add Event dialog.

• Fill in title, type, times, optional layer, responsible user, and invited persons.
• Changing Start time auto-adjusts End to Start + 1 hour.
• Drag an event block to reschedule it.
• Click a block to open its Detail view (edit, delete, alarm, status).
• You can set an inline alarm directly while creating or editing an event.
• 📎 = file attached · ↻ = recurring · ✎ = edited
• Non-overlapping events span the full column width for better readability.

Layers

Layers are named overlays on the master timeline with their own color, visibility (Private / Groups / Public), and write access.

• Click 🗂 Layers to open the quick-toggle popover — check/uncheck layers for immediate visual change.
• When all layers are checked (default), everything is visible.
• Master timeline events are always shown regardless of layer filters.
• Manage layers (create, edit, share) in the Layers sidebar tab.

Templates

Templates capture a set of events relative to a base time so they can be replicated quickly.

• Click 📋 Templates in the toolbar to open the template manager.
• Save: all events in the current view are stored as a template with relative time offsets.
• Apply: choose a base date/time — events are recreated offset from that moment.
• Private templates are visible only to you; Public templates are visible to all users.
• Only Admins and Operations Leads can create public templates that include master-timeline events.

User Roles

Alarms

Set an alarm while creating or editing any event, or from the Detail view using 🔔 Set Alarm.

• Choose lead time (at event · 5 min · 10 min · 15 min · 30 min · 1 h · 2 h before).
• When creating with invited persons, you can set the alarm for yourself only or for all invited.
• Alarms appear as in-app pop-ups and in the Alarms sidebar tab.
• Un-ACK'd alarms escalate: orange after 60 s, pulsing red thereafter.
• Webhook users also receive a POST when an alarm fires.

Event Status Workflow

Recurrence Patterns

Available patterns: Every 30 min · Hourly · Every 2/3/4 h · Daily · Weekly · Monthly · Quarterly.

Set a Recurrence End to limit repetitions. Recurring events show a ↻ icon. When deleting, choose to delete: this occurrence / this and all future / the entire series.

Recurring events are not shown outside your configured day hours to keep the view clean.

Synthetic Exercise Time

Ops Lead+ can define an Exercise Epoch — the real datetime that maps to Day 1 T+0. Click 🕐 T+ in the toolbar to toggle synthetic day headers.

• The red current-time line shows an H+N label (hours since epoch).
• Enable Day-hours only to count only hours within your configured day window.
• Freeze / pause the timeline to stop synthetic time for planning (Ops Lead+).
• Phases (Team Lead+): color-coded overlays showing exercise phases.

Webhook Notifications

Configure a personal webhook under Settings → Notifications / Webhook. When an alarm fires, a HTTP POST is sent.

• Mattermost / Slack: sends {"text":"…"}
• Generic: sends {"message":"…","event_id":…}
• Click Test to verify the endpoint before saving.

Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts

Event Type Icons

Events display a small icon to the left of the title to identify their type at a glance:

Custom event types can have their own emoji icon assigned in Settings → Event Types → Edit.

The icon strip can be toggled on/off globally from Settings → Event Icons.

Multi-Timezone Clocks

The header displays the primary real-time clock. You can add additional clocks for other time zones — useful for distributed teams or international exercises.

Adding a clock

1. Click the + button to the left of the main clock in the header.
2. Enter a short label (e.g. Tallinn, Kyiv, Kabul).
3. Select the IANA timezone from the dropdown (supports all world time zones).
4. Click Add. The clock appears immediately to the left of the main clock.

Removing a clock

Click the × button on the extra clock widget, or go to Settings → Date/Time Format → Additional timezone clocks and click Remove.

Additional clocks are saved per user and persist across sessions.

Time Slot Locking

Operations leads and admins can lock time ranges to prevent editing of events in that window.

• Click 🔒 Lock in the toolbar to open the lock manager.
• Set start/end time, an optional reason, and scope (all layers, master only, or a single layer).
• Locked slots are shaded with a diagonal stripe. Events inside cannot be moved, edited, or deleted.
• Locks are fully undoable via the Undo button.

Reports

Click the 📄 Report button in the toolbar to generate an HTML report of the current events.

• AAR — After Action Report, grouped by event status.
• Per Layer — Events broken out by layer.
• Timeline Snapshot — Full chronological list.

Filter by date range and visible layers. Times are formatted according to your language/locale setting. The report opens in a new browser tab for printing or saving.
