File types and security

Chronolator Data Entry  can read two types of file: JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and txt (simple text):

• JSON  files provide the 'bridge' between Chronolator for Word and the tools. JSON is the least secure format, insofar as anyone with a text editor can open and make some sense of the file.
• txt files are produced when you save a chronology with one of the tools. If opened in a text editor, the text appears to be nonsense. However, anyone who uses one of the tools will be able to read it. If you want to, you can protect the file with a password by following the instructions in Overview of Common Tasks.
