Tooltip Feature (Quick Context on Hover) 

Hovering over a task or phase shows a rich tooltip with details like: 

  • Name & Type of object (e.g., Project, Task, Phase) 
  • State (e.g., In Work, Completed) 
  • Owner (responsible user or department) 
  • Number of parent and child items (hierarchical links) 
  • Last update timestamp 
  • Actual Start Date and Completion Date 

This gives instant insight into ownership, progress, and dependencies without opening the full object record.

Start & End Indicators 

  • Start Marker – Shows the planned or actual beginning of a phase. 
  • End Marker – Shows the planned or actual completion date. 
  • Automatic Date Assignment – Start and End dates are automatically derived from the object’s type and its default date attributes (e.g., Planned Start Date, Estimated Completion Date, Actual Start Date, Actual Completion Date). 

Any updates to these attributes in the Nora IPLM object automatically update the timeline, ensuring alignment between the planned schedule and real execution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a timeline view important in PLM?

Product data isn’t static. Designs change, approvals happen, issues are raised, and decisions get made.
The Timeline Widget turns this activity into a clear story, so teams don’t have to piece together history from logs or scattered records.

What kind of activity appears in the Timeline Widget?

The timeline can display:

  • Status changes

  • Workflow transitions

  • Approvals and rejections

  • Updates to items, documents, or changes

  • Key actions taken by users

All events stay linked to the original record.

Can users act from the Timeline Widget?

The Timeline Widget is primarily for visibility and understanding. It complements action-oriented widgets like Workflow or Kanban by providing historical context.

How does access control work?

Users only see timeline events related to data they’re authorized to access. Visibility follows Nora IPLM’s role-based permissions.

Who benefits most from the Timeline Widget?

Engineers, managers, quality teams, and leadership, anyone who needs clarity on how decisions and changes unfolded, not just their final state.
