Change the timeline zoom level

You can change the zoom level on the timeline view to see a shorter or longer time period. By default, the timeline shows the unit of time in months.

Note: The AWC_Timeline_Zoom_Level user preference preserves the last zoom level used on the timeline when you navigate away to a different page or log out. In order for this preference to activate, your system administrator must change the zoom level at least once while viewing the program timeline.

Set zoom level from the work area toolbar

Procedure

1. Click Set Zoom to view the different zoom levels.
2. Choose a zoom level. You can zoom by Days, Weeks, Months, Quarters, Years, and Unit of Time Measure.

Note: The Unit of Time Measure is the default zoom level set in the program properties.

Set zoom level using your mouse

Procedure

1. Hover over the top area of the timeline view. A magnifying glass cursor will appear.
