:::

- Defines the HTML content of resource timeline cells.
- Resource timeline links tasks to a resource by the [resource_property](api/config/resource_property.md) property of the task object.
- The template is not called for cells where no tasks are located, unless [resource_render_empty_cells](api/config/resource_render_empty_cells.md) is enabled.
- Tasks of the [project type](api/config/types.md) are not counted and won't be passed to the `tasks` argument.
