Conducting a Review

Since Version 6.00, the Chronolator Browser Tools include everything you need for a review. You no longer need Chronolator for Word. 


This topic is a brief overview of the tasks involved in conducting a review, and the Chronolator Browser Tools you can use to help.


  1. Create a new chronology using Chronolator Define.
  2. Circulate it to your partner agencies, and get them to use Chronolator Enter to update it.
  3. When they return it to you, use Chronolator Integrate to merge it with other chronologies
  4. Review the integrated chronology with Chronolator Review.


The rest of this document has more information about each task.

1. Create a new chronology using Chronolator Define

 

Action

Comments

Open Chronolator Define in a browser (such as Chrome or Firefox)

tools.chronolator.com/define


Check the licence that is displayed. It will look like one of those pictured here.


If it is a Limited Licence as shown in the first picture, you will need to install your licence. 


The licence for Chronolator Define is different from the one for the Chronolator for Word Online Workbench. If you do not have one, please email licences@chronolator.com.


If you bought a Chronolator for Word licence after April 5 2023, you will find the Chronolator Define licence and appropriate instructions in the Chronolator licence details and instructions.pdf document attached to your email.

Don't worry if you pressed OK to accept the licence without checking. The licensee is displayed in a yellow box on the Ribbon.

Press New Chronology to display the Case Details Wizard 

Complete the Case Details Wizard.

See the Case Details Wizard topic for details.

When you press Finish in the Case Details Wizard, the Almost there! panel is displayed. It contains information you might want to circulate to your partner agencies along with the chronology.



Before you press OK to create the chronology, you might want to open the sample email in the online Help.  You can open it directly by pressing here in this Almost there! panel. Copy it, and paste it into a new email or document.






After you press OK, you can paste the information into the new email or document.


Press instructions at the top of this Almost there! panel for some hints about pasting.

When the Almost there! panel closes, the chronology is created and opens below the Ribbon.

2. Circulate the chronology and instructions to your partner agencies, and get them to use Chronolator Enter to update it

3. Create an Integrated Chronology with Chronolator Integrate

As and when agencies return their chronologies, use Chronolator Integrate to merge them into an integrated chronology. You will find it at tools.chronolator.com/integrate.

4. Send the document to the reviewer

When you have finished the chronology, send the resulting file for review. Tell the reviewer about the Chronolator Review tool, and let them know about its powerful search features, Timeline displays, and how effective it can be in presentations and meetings. These links will be useful:
