You can track work based on any of your Date or Timeline columns. When you create a custom chart, you can pick a date field instead of a workflow state as the primary filter. This lets you track the items completed based on set completion dates.

Let's assume you have a column Completion date on your board. You can create a chart that shows how many items have the date in the past by selecting by Completion date as the metric for the chart.

That will work the same way as if you had selected Completed (within date range), except that it will only look at the value in the date column. If the date is in the past, it is considered completed, regardless of the workflow state of that item. It is an alternative way of tracking work completions.

Here's the resulting chart:

You can click through the number to see the list of items.

You can also create Task lists and filter them by custom date columns. Here's an example configuration for a Task list:

When you pick a date column from the menu, the resulting task list contains items that have the date within the specified date range:

You can track work based on your Timeline column in the same way as your Date column by mapping the column to the Start date and Due date in the custom field mapping. To access the custom field mapping, select Data Mapping under the main menu and navigate to the Custom Fields tab.

The rightmost column shows the the mapping of the column. You can adjust the mapping by clicking the item from the list:

Since Timeline contains both start and end dates, you can map it to either a start date or an end date, and the other date is automatically mapped to the same Timeline field.
