The Administrator who sets up a new chronology can define entries in its Abbreviations Glossary.

Chronology users can also add and change glossary entries.

Abbreviations can be up to 10 characters long, and their Definitions up to 50.

Displaying and Editing the Abbreviations Glossary

Use Settings and Tools > Abbreviations Glossary to view, change, add and delete abbreviations.

The resulting display includes buttons to implement whatever actions are allowed.

It also includes a button to add a new abbreviation.

Permissions

What you are allowed to do with an abbreviation depends on where it was originally defined:

• Entries defined by the Administrator who set up the original chronology cannot be changed or deleted.
• Entries you define in the current document can be changed and deleted.

Changing an abbreviation

When you change a glossary entry, Chronolator updates the document to match.
