TimeLiner
Getting started


There are four views of TimeLiner, Data, List, Compact, and Banner. The Data View offers a "bird's eye view" of your information. The List View is exactly what is says, a list of your information. The Compact View compresses the information as points in time or ranges. The Banner View will create banners of the information with all kinds of pictures, events, colors, flags, etc.

For the Web page we will be using the Compact View.

Double Click on the TimeLiner icon

Choose New from the icon which will appear

From here you will be asked to choose a time line type.We will be working in the Standard Time line mode. After selecting Standard click on OK.

You will now start to add the information into the boxes. The Tool bar at the left of your screen will allow you to add New information, Delete old information, Edit existing facts, Hide, Include, Expand or Compress facts.

When you have entered your fact, you will need to include the date under the When column and the fact or information under the What column. When you are done be sure to save the information so the next group will be ready to enter theirs.
