Timeline Builder

Client view

List the rounds, the minimums, and every constraint. The builder maps it onto real working days, keeps presentations off blackout days, stops the client's feedback clock while they're away, and flags anything that runs past the contract.

Setup

Project

Name

Kickoff / first work day Contract ends Buffer until

Present on

No presentations in Thanksgiving or year-end holiday weeks

Presentations only land on these weekdays, and only when both Hyperakt and the client are working. Pin a date on a round to override.

Rounds

Work and feedback are minimum working days. “Starts after” lets a round overlap — e.g. work on CD kicks off once brief feedback is in, while the brief is being finalized.

Constraints

Client blocks presentations and pauses the feedback clock. Hyperakt / Contractor pause work days. Studio closures block everything.

Collaborators

Give a freelancer a location and their country's public holidays are pulled in automatically and applied to this timeline.

Holiday & OOO calendars

Hyperakt holidays always on

Rolled forward from the studio's closure calendar, every year. Weekend dates shift to the nearest workday.

Collaborator holidays
