Timeline views
The FUITimelineCell
and FUITimelineMarkerCell
are Interface-Builder-designable UITableViewCell
controls, used to construct the Timeline View, which presents information or events in chronological order.
The FUITimelinePreviewTableViewCell
is an Interface-Builder-designable UI component that extends NibDesignableTableViewCell
which contains a FUITimelinePreviewView
. It resizes itself to fit content using the auto-layout size of FUITimelinePreviewView
.
The FUITimelinePreviewView
shows an excerpt of your project’s milestones in a convenient linear visual presentation. By default, each task node is ordered by date and can be classified as open, complete, or end. Timeline Preview augments task management by prioritizing overdue tasks as well as tasks closest to their due date but not yet marked as complete. This implementation aims to present the most pressing issues to the top of your task queue. Timeline Preview is supported across all currently supported Apple iOS devices.
Interface
FUITimelineCell
FUITimelineCell
is a selectable cell intended for timelines that require open and complete status that displays timeline details. Selecting the cell changes the card background color to the framework-preferred color:FioriUIColorStyle.line
.- It uses a vertical line and
nodeImageView
as a separator. Left of the vertical line is the timeline event stack view that containseventLabel
andeventImageView
; right of the vertical line is the main stack view that containsheadlineLabel
andsubheadlineLabel
. - Below the main view is an attribute stack view with
attributeLabel
andsubAttributeLabel
laid out horizontally. - To the right of the main view is a status view that contains
statusLabel
,statusImage
,substatusLabel
, andsubstatusImage
laid out vertically.
FUITimelineMarkerCell
FUITimelineMarkerCell
is a non-selectable cell withselectionStyle
set to.none
that is intended for timelines with start, inactive, early end, and end status that displays timeline information.- It uses a vertical line and a node image as a separator. Left of the vertical line is the timeline event section that contains
eventLabel
andeventImageView
; right of the vertical line istitleLabel
. - The vertical line contains
leadingTimeline
on the top,nodeImageView
in the middle, and atrailingTimeline
at the bottom.
Usage
A FUITimelineCell
can be used freely within any UITableView
:
Register the FUITimelineCell
and FUITimelineMarkerCell
controls in the viewDidLoad
function:
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
tableView.register(FUITimelineCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: FUITimelineCell.reuseIdentifier)
tableView.register(FUITimelineMarkerCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: FUITimelineMarkerCell.reuseIdentifier)
// ...
}
Initialize and configure cells in tableView(_:cellForRowAt:)
:
Though both options are marked public, you should always use the
Text: String and Image: UIImage
properties to set cell content, instead of directly setting values to the @IBOutlet. This allows the implementation to optimize the constraints for the given content. It is fine to set other properties of the @IBOutlet, such as font style or color, opacity, etc.

## Notes
###
SingleLine
Separator Between Timeline Items in the TableTableview
‘s defaultseparatorStyle
is.singleLine
. Because of this default setting, there can be a 1.0 px divider line or a separator in between each item on the timeline in the table. This is not an issue in timeline. To get rid of the separator, setseparatorStyle
tonone
in theTabelViewController
class.override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() //... self.tableView.separatorStyle = .none //... }
### Customize the Background Color
Developers may use the
backgroundColor
property oftimelineBackground
andcardBackground
to set the background color, and use thesetTintColor(_:_:)
UITableViewCell
API to customize the card background in highlighted and completed states.timelineCell.timelineBackground.backgroundColor = UIColor.orange timelineCell.cardBackground.backgroundColor = UIColor.yellow // For normal background timelineCell.setTintColor(UIColor.red, for: .highlighted) // For highlighted state background timelineCell.setTintColor(UIColor.green, for: .application) // For completed state background

FUITimelinePreviewView
is an Interface-Builder-designable UI component that extendsUIView
for showing a collection of tasks. It comes with a header and a collection view which usesFUITimelineCollectionViewCell
to represent data items within it.Using
addItems()
to populate a collection ofFUITimelineItem
object.Views Available in
FUIObjectCell
:header
: aFUICollectionSectionHeaderFooterView
containing a title label, an attribute label and a disclosure indicator.collectionView
: a collection view displaying a collection of data items represented byFUITimelineCollectionViewCell
.
Rules for displaying tasks:
Timeline shows all items due but not marked complete. If there are Overdue objects, this will be shown first until it is marked complete. ‘Today’ will come in the timeline preview only if there is something due ‘Today’.
When the last object is the only one left on the timeline, the Project end date will be visible as the last milestone. The gradient for the horizontal line will switch to right to left.
Once the end of the timeline is visible and due and overdue tasks do not fill all the columns, the completed tasks will start to fill the available columns.
If there is an object due on the last day of the project, it will show as the Open Node, until it is marked complete. Then it will switch to the ‘Complete Node.’ The gradient for the horizontal line will switch to right to left.
Example Initialization and Configuration:
let timelinePreviewView = FUITimelinePreviewView() timelinePreviewView.header.titleLabel.text = "Timeline" timelinePreviewView.header.attributeLabel.text = "attribute" timelinePreviewView.header.isDisclosureAccessoryHidden = false timelinePreviewView.header.didSelectHandler = { // do something when disclosure indicator is tapped } let item0 = FUITimelineItem() item0.title = "Planned Downtime Period Identified for Tasks" item0.due = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: -86400 * 2) item0.status = .complete let item1 = FUITimelineItem() item1.title = "UX Design Review" item1.due = Date(timeIntervalSinceNow: -86400) item1.status = .open timelinePreviewView.addItems([item0, item1])
