7. Drop a vertical line
With the timeline showing, a vertical line can be added to run through each project.
This is useful for things such as the current date, status date, year end etc.

8. Use the "% Complete" field to show completed tasks as Grey
This is often used along with the "today" vertical line to show at a glance when plans have been updated properly.
Everything to the left of the vertical should be grey, everything to the right should not be grey.

9. Dynamic Settings
Editors can customise traqplan using the normal PowerBI fields. Traqplan timeline also provides what we call the “dynamic settings” dialog which allows your non-editing users to customise their own report after publishing, without affecting published defaults for other users.

11. Autofit and Zooming
The default is for the visual to auto scale to fit the window size. However users can remove autofit and manually set the font size using the "minimum font size" field.
