This extension implements vis.js timeline http://visjs.org/docs/timeline/. It is an interactive chart to visualize data items in time. The items can take place on a single date, or have a start and end date (a range). You can freely move and zoom in/out the timeline by dragging and scrolling.

Now with proper localization and adjustable weekend:

Dimensions:

1. Dimension: Reference ID, numeric (Event ID or else) or String
2. Dimension: Item Content, text
3. Dimension: Start Date
4. Dimension: End Date (optional, null if omitted)
5. Dimension: Item Type (box (default), point, range, background)

Measures:

1. Measure: title text for hover popup (optional), default title is start date, use <br> for line breaks
2. Measure: CSS class name for styling or number 1 to 10 for CSS class color-a to color-j which are configured for Qlik Sense diverging colors (blue-to-red, optional)
