The Month and Quarter views group feedback posts by their estimated delivery date, so you can share a time-based plan with your users. The roadmap can group posts by *when* you expect to ship them rather than by their status. The **Month** and **Quarter** views arrange your feedback posts into time columns based on each post's estimate, giving you and your users a timeline-style plan. Both views read the same field: the post's **estimate**. A post only appears in a Month or Quarter column once you give it an estimated date. Posts without an estimate are simply left off these views (they still show up in the [Status view](/help/roadmap)). The estimate is also shown to your users on the public post, so setting it does more than position the card. Set expectations you are comfortable sharing. ## Set an estimate on a post The estimate is a month and year, for example August 2026. There is no day-level precision, because the roadmap plans in months and quarters. Click any post on the [**Roadmap**](https://app.sleekplan.com/roadmap) or in the [**Feedback**](https://app.sleekplan.com/feedback) list to open its detail panel. In the **Properties** section, click **Set estimate** and pick a month and year. The estimate picker showing the year 2026 with month buttons from Jan to Dec Reopen the estimate any time to choose a different month, or clear it to remove the post from the Month and Quarter views. You can also set the estimate while [creating a post](/help/feedback/create-post#set-the-post-properties), and filter your feedback list by it using the **Estimated** filter described in [Filter, sort, and search feedback](/help/feedback/filters). ## Month view Open the **Group by** menu on the roadmap and choose **Month** to lay posts out across individual months. Each column is one month, and a post sits in the month of its estimate. The Roadmap board in Month view with an Overdue column followed by July, August, and September 2026, each holding a post The view shows a rolling window of upcoming months. Two extra columns bookend it: * **Overdue** collects posts whose estimate has already passed but are not yet complete, so nothing slips through unnoticed. * **Future** collects posts estimated beyond the last month shown in the window. Month view is best for near-term planning, when you want to see exactly which requests land in which month. ## Quarter view Choose **Quarter** from the **Group by** menu to zoom out. Each column is a calendar quarter, and posts are grouped by the quarter their estimate falls in. The Roadmap board in Quarter view with Overdue, Quarter 3 2026 holding three posts, Quarter 4 2026, and Quarter 1 2027 Like Month view, it includes an **Overdue** column at the start and a **Future** column at the end. Quarter view suits longer-range planning and higher-level updates, where month-by-month detail is more than your users need. ## Moving a post's timeline Cards are not draggable in Month or Quarter view. To move a post to a different month or quarter, open it and change its estimate. Dragging between columns only works in [Status view](/help/roadmap#status-view), where it changes the post's status. ## Show a timeline roadmap to your users By default the public roadmap is grouped by status. To make the Month or Quarter layout the one visitors see first, go to [**Settings → Roadmap**](https://app.sleekplan.com/settings/roadmap) and set **Default roadmap type** to **Month-based** or **Quarter-based**. This is covered in [The roadmap](/help/roadmap#set-the-default-view-for-visitors). ## Related Group by status, drag posts between columns, and set the public default view. Add feedback and set its estimate along with status, category, and owner.
