The Ribbon has six Groups:

  • System
  • Browser
  • Edit
  • Licensing
  • Options
  • System Tools

System and Browser

Chronolator Define can save and access your chronology in two places:

  • your computer computer's file system.
  • browser storage

Use the System group to Open, Save or Export a file in your computer's file system.

Save saves the file as a txt file that can only be made sense of by a Chronolator Browser Tool. Export saves the file as a JSON file that can be used to exchange data with Chronolator for Word and other programs.

Use the Resume button in the Browser group to to re-open a document that was open last time you used the tool. There is no Save button in the Browser group, as the tool automatically saves your work as you go.

Edit

The Edit group lets you:

  • create a new Internal Chronology with the Case Details Wizard.
  • add, change, or remove password protection for an open file.

Licensing

The Licensing group has buttons to:

  • display the Browser Licence for this tool, and to purchase and install new one.
  • create or install a Document Licence.

Please email licences@chronolator.com to obtain a licence.

Options

The Options group has a Theme button that lets you change how the Ribbon looks. When you click on it, two options are shown. Hovering on one displays its effect on the Ribbon. Click on the one you want to select it.

System Tools

The System Tools group lets you:

  • View Logs

Chronolator logs how you use it so that Berrick Computing Ltd can diagnose any problems you encounter.

These logs remain on your computer unless you want to send them for diagnosis.

You can view, copy, and clear them.

  • Reports

This button displays Application Environment and Document Details reports. 

The Application Environment report is mainly of interest for problem diagnosis. 

The Document Details describes the chronology - what columns are included, which of them are mandatory, what abbreviations are in the glossary and so on. 

  • Clear cookies

Use this button to clear Chronolator cookies. This can be useful if browser problems prevent you starting the tool.
