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 File > System > Open 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 File  > Browser > Resume to pick up where you left off.

Saving files

Use the buttons in the  File > System group to save files:

• Press Save to save as a txt file
• or press Export to save as JSON

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.

Setting, changing, and removing a password

Use Edit > 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.
