Introducing Life Timeline: A Chronological Overview of Your Most Important Keepsakes

Introducing Life Timeline: A Chronological Overview of Your Most Important Keepsakes

The Life Timeline allows a user to view and organize the dated Keepsakes of their life, in an easy overview for quick reference.

Locating your Life Timeline

You can navigate to your Life Timeline from your Dashboard by clicking on "Keepsakes" on the left panel and toggling the views located at the top, from "All" to "Timeline".



You will see all your dated Keepsakes in chronological order from today going back to the day you were born. If your Keepsake does not have a date specified, then it will not show on your Life Timeline view. It will only be viewable in your “All” section. 

Filtered Search & View Function

If you are looking for a specific Keepsake on your Life Timeline, you can also filter your search through selecting a specific "Topic", "Tribe member" or "Date range", which are all located at the top of the Life Timeline. 



Both the "Topic" and "Tribe Member" filters allow you to select multiple options simultaneously; whereas the "Date Range" filter is limited to a single selection, for example, “Last week.”  



Your Condensed Timeline Bar

At the bottom of the Life Timeline view, you will find a horizontal bar displaying each of your dated Keepsakes in a condensed manner. The color of each node will represent the topic you assigned to the Keepsake, but if you have multiple Keepsakes in quick succession then they will display as a purple cluster. 



The colors of your Topics are as follows:
  1. Blue for "Life Stories"
  2. Black for "My Roots"
  3. Green for "My Places"
  4. Orange for "My Achievements"
  5. Gray for "Pastime and Passions"
  6. Red for "Treats and Treasures"
