You can expand the program list to view the timeline of the associated proposals, projects, and programs. The program timeline bar is displayed in gray and shows the start and completion dates of the program. Planned dates are used if there is no actual date. If program dates are not present, the program timeline Gantt bar is not displayed.

For each associated project, actual dates (if present), planned dates, or a combination of actual and planned dates are used to display the Gantt bars. For projects, key milestones are also displayed on the project timeline.
