Summary:
The first step in creating a Timeline is to create a Timeline Contact Sheet. This is where the information of each Timeline item will live.
Creating Timeline Contact Sheets
Getting Started:
In the websites pane of the CQ GUI, navigate to the site you're working on. Create a new page using the "Contact Sheet: Timeline" template. This page will be a reference for your Timeline
The Contact Sheet will hold the information, while the Timeline will present it on the page.
Once you're in the authoring environment for the Contact Sheet, you should see just one available component: UC Timeline Item. Click and drag that in, and on the blue bar that apears, click edit.
This is where you'll define the information that appears on the Timeline, and where it will link to.
- Title: displays the title of your Timeline Item on the Timeline itself.
- Description: displays additional information (on click) regardining your Timeline Item.
- Start Date: (Required) Date on the Timeline on which your event begins. This may also serve as a single point in time on which your event occurs.
- End Date: Date on which your event ends (use only if the event you are using should cover a range of dates).
- Link: link to additional information.
