Timeline modal

The timeline modal is the main view. It answers one question: where has this card been, and for how long?

Card Timeline+ modal — summary, workflow path, and movement history

The modal opens with Card Timeline+ for Trello® at the top. Below that, the current card name appears in a bar with view controls on the right.

Summary​

Four quick facts in a 2×2 grid:

TileShows
Current stageThe list the card is in now, with a Current badge
Time in stageHow long in the current list (e.g. 40m, 2d)
Movement countTotal list moves (e.g. 4 moves)
TrackingWhen history started and whether it is complete

A note below the grid explains when tracking began — for example, Tracking started after installation.

Workflow path​

A horizontal view of the card's route through lists.

  • Each stage shows list names and move count between them.
  • In Compact view, the path uses a shorter Compact path layout.
  • Scroll sideways when the path is long.

Timeline​

A chronological log of every list move since tracking started.

  • Sort Newest first or Oldest first.
  • Each event shows the time, Timeline event, and list pills (from list → to list).
  • The destination list is highlighted in blue.

View controls​

Full Timeline and workflow analytics​

When available for your board, Full Timeline opens a larger view with paged movement history. Use its search, date range, and movement direction filters to focus on the events you need.

Card-level workflow analytics summarize the tracked journey, including total tracked time, current-stage duration, longest stage, movement count, and stage re-entries. These metrics describe an individual card, not the whole board or team performance.

Full Timeline, search and filters, and workflow analytics are included during the current free launch period. Future availability may depend on your plan. Calculations cover only the history Card Timeline+ has tracked.
