Common Tasks
Finding out what you can do
Chronolator Define includes a number of features.
This section lists some common tasks.
Opening, copying, printing, and saving files
Opening a file
Press Open > File to open a either a JSON or a txt file:
- suitable JSON files can be produced by one of the Chronolator Browser Tools or by Chronolator for Word.
- txt files must have been produced by one of the Chronolator Browser Tools.
Resuming your work
Chronolator Define automatically saves your work in the browser.
Press Open > Resume to pick up where you left off.
Saving files
Use the buttons in the Save As group to save files:
Printing the chronology table
You can print the chronology table by pressing the Print button above it. This creates a printable version of the table in a new browser tab. Use the browser's print facility to send the document to an actual printer, or to a PDF file.
Setting, changing, and removing a password
Use Options > Password to add, change, or remove a password required to open a file. After doing so, save the file as a txt file to ensure your settings are used next time it is opened.
You cannot protect a JSON file with a password.
If you forget the password, there is no way to recover your chronology.
Using a Sequence column
A Sequence Column can contain a reference number for each event. The number can be used to force events into order when you know the date on which they occurred but not the time. Use the Sequencing and Source Tab in the Case Details Wizard to define a Sequence column.
See Using a Sequence Column for more details.
