You need to define a view with the tag <timeline> as base element. These
are the possible attributes for the tag:

+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| Attribute | Required? | Description |
+==================+===========+========================================================+
| date_start | **Yes** | Defines the name of the field of type date that |
| | | contains the start of the event. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| date_stop | No | Defines the name of the field of type date that |
| | | contains the end of the event. The date_stop can be |
| | | equal to the attribute date_start to display events |
| | | has 'point' on the Timeline (instantaneous event). |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| date_delay | No | Defines the name of the field of type float/integer |
| | | that contain the duration in hours of the event, |
| | | default = 1. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| default_group_by | **Yes** | Defines the name of the field that will be taken as |
| | | default group by when accessing the view or when no |
| | | other group by is selected. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| zoomKey | No | Specifies whether the Timeline is only zoomed when an |
| | | additional key is down. Available values are '' (does |
| | | not apply), 'altKey', 'ctrlKey', or 'metaKey'. Set |
| | | this option if you want to be able to use the scroll |
| | | to navigate vertically on views with a lot of events. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| mode | No | Specifies the initial visible window. Available values |
| | | are: 'day' to display the current day, 'week', 'month' |
| | | and 'fit'. Default value is 'fit' to adjust the |
| | | visible window such that it fits all items. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| margin | No | Specifies the margins around the items. It should |
| | | respect the JSON format. For example |
| | | '{"item":{"horizontal":-10}}'. Available values are: |
| | | '{"axis":<number>}' (The minimal margin in pixels |
| | | between items and the time axis) '{"item":<number>}' |
| | | (The minimal margin in pixels between items in both |
| | | horizontal and vertical direction), |
| | | '{"item":{"horizontal":<number>}}' (The minimal |
| | | horizontal margin in pixels between items), |
| | | '{"item":{"vertical":<number>}}' (The minimal vertical |
| | | margin in pixels between items), |
| | | '{"item":{"horizontal":<number>,"vertical":<number>}}' |
| | | (Combination between horizontal and vertical margins |
| | | in pixels between items). |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| event_open_popup | No | When set to true, it allows to edit the events in a |
| | | popup. If not (default value), the record is edited |
| | | changing to form view. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| stack | No | When set to false, items will not be stacked on top of |
| | | each other such that they do overlap. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+
| colors | No | Allows to set certain specific colors if the expressed |
| | | condition (JS syntax) is met. |
+------------------+-----------+--------------------------------------------------------+

| | | between the records referenced in the x2many field. |
