Where is my chronology saved?

Chronolator Enter never uploads your chronology to the Internet.

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

your computer's file system. Use the buttons in the Save As group to save your chronology there.

in Browser Storage whenever you update it. This is done automatically.

Although Browser Storage is quite robust and roomy, you should save your work from time to time to protect yourself against a system failure. Use one of the buttons in the Save As group to do this.

Open

Use the File button to open a file in your computer's file system.

If you cannot find the chronology using the File button, see this FAQ.

Use the Resume button to open the version in browser storage and continue working where you left off last time you used the tool.

If the Resume button does not find your chronology, see this FAQ.

Save As

Chronolator Enter can save your chronology as one of two file types:

a txt file file that can only be made sense of by a Chronolator Browser Tool.

a JSON file that can be used to exchange data with other programs.

Your administrator might tell you which type to use. If not, you can use either one, unless you want to protect the chronology with a password. In that case, you must use the txt format.

Depending on your browser settings, your work might automatically be saved in your usual Downloads folder. If you want to be prompted to save it in a particular place, search for instructions relevant to your browser, using a search such as get browser to prompt for download location .

If you want a copy of the chronology that can be read by a word processor like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, you can use the Export > docx button between the Ribbon and the table. See Chronolator and docx files.

Samples

Use the Simple Table button in the Samples group to open a simple chronology with just these headings:

DO NOT use this button if you have received a file from a Case Review Administrator - use File > Open > File instead.

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.

The Licensing button allows you to display the active licence, and to purchase and install new one.

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

The Settings button lets you set the following options, which will apply to the current and subsequent sessions.
