Roadmap is a display option inside Timeline view. Use it when you want a visual plan of scheduled Hive actions — grouped into swimlanes, annotated with notes and arrows, and easy to share.
Turn on Roadmap
Open a project and add a Timeline tab if you do not already have one.
Click Content in the upper right.
On the Configure tab, set View to Roadmap.
Roadmap settings are saved on that Timeline tab. To go back, set View to Timeline.
Set up the roadmap
Still on the Configure tab:
Auto date range: On by default. Turn it off to pick a Timeline range from one month to five years.
Group by: Create swimlanes by Label, Section, or Project.
Labels, Sections, or Projects: Select which ones become lanes. A project lane shows only the actions in that project, not in its sub-projects.
Click the title or subtitle at the top of the canvas to rename them.
Note: Changing Group by clears the selected lanes, text boxes, and arrows. Select lanes again after you change it.
Read the canvas
Dated actions show as markers on the timeline. Drag lanes to reorder them around the date axis.
Use the zoom button in the header to fit more of the plan on screen. Roadmap shows up to 250 actions. If more match, add filters on the Filters tab.
Add text boxes and arrows
Use the Draw menu at the top right of the roadmap:
Choose Text box to add a note. Drag or resize it. Click it to change the text and colors, or to delete it.
Choose Arrow, then draw a connector between lanes.
Click an action marker to open the action. To change its title or text color on the roadmap only, hover the title and click the pencil icon.
Export the roadmap
Open the More menu (three dots) in the upper right.
Choose Export and pick PDF, PNG, JPEG, or PowerPoint.
When to use Roadmap vs Timeline
Roadmap: Presenting a high-level plan by workstream (labels or sections) or project, adding notes, and sharing a visual.
Timeline: Day-to-day scheduling, columns, and moving action dates on the grid. See Timeline View.
