Check the timeline

See every revenue and cost line placed on the programme.

The "Timeline" tab is a read-only Gantt of the study's line items. It exists to catch timing mistakes — a cost that lands before the start date, or revenue that settles before practical completion.

1. 1

   Open the Timeline

   Select "Timeline". Each revenue and cost line appears as a bar across the study's months, colour-coded by category, with revenue in its own colour.

2. 2

   Sanity-check the sequence

   Look for lines that start too early, run past completion, or all land in one month because a timing field was left at its default.

3. 3

   Fix timing where it is set

   Timing is edited on the line item itself in "Revenue & Costs" — the Timeline reflects it, it does not set it.

4. 4

   Understand why it matters
