The File tab has four Groups:

    • System
    • Browser
    • Options
    • System Tools

System and Browser

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

    • your computer's file system
    • browser storage


Use the System group to Open or Import a file from your computer's file system.

  • Use Open to open an existing Composite Chronology. You cannot open an Internal Chronology with Chronolator Integrate.
  • Use Import to import a chronology into an existing Composite Chronology or to start a new one.

You also use the System group to Save or Export a file to 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 carry on working on the chronology you were using the 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.

Although Browser storage is quite robust and roomy, you should save your work to the file system from time to time to protect yourself against system failure.

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 specify whether the chronology should automatically be sorted whenever you import another chronology, and whether that should be in Ascending or Descending order. These settings apply only to the current session.

System Tools

There are three buttons in the System Tools group:

  • 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.
