Use Gantt Charts
The Gantt Chart view in the Tasks tab provides a visual representation of
your tasks. The horizontal axis represents the time span of the project, broken
down into increments (such as days, weeks, months, and years) and the vertical
axis represents the project tasks. Tasks can run sequentially, in parallel, or
overlapping.
You can drag a task to different dates, or click and drag on either end of the
task to extend or shorten its duration. Any changes are automatically updated
in the Task view. Similarly, modifying a field in the Tasks view modifies the
corresponding field on the Gantt Chart view.

Tasks tab in the TimeLiner window.
