Before creating a timeline visualization, you should have a clear idea of the
information that you want to display.

This planning process helps you identify the required table and fields, and determine filtering
and sorting requirements. Since users can personalize the visualization, avoid setting
restrictive filters that may prevent users from finding categories that they are accustomed to
seeing. You can use the CIO Roadmap as a starting point for creating your own timeline
visualizations.  
Note:  
Activating timeline visualizations doesn't activate predefined CIO roadmap. You require PPM (com.snc.financial_planning_pmo) plugin to use CIO roadmap.
