Work with Timespan Symbology

A timespan is a feature on the timeline that represents temporal data that includes a start and end field. It is used to symbolize an event that takes course over a period of time instead of a single point in time. Using Timespan Symbology a user can symbolize timespans to help differentiate features on a timeline.

Note:

Standalone tables are not supported for symbology.
