 * The use of a  timeline created from the events in your TMG project allows visual comparison
 of an individual's life events against those of other people.
A timeline may be used globally or with particular persons only.


A manual creation of a Timeline is time consuming and requires good computer skills.

***        Timeliner! will create timelines based on the data in your projects with ease       ***

* With Timeliner! you can easily have any number of 'Global' timelines based on your Tags

* You can easily highlight the potential life influencing events in your Project's Family History content for example :-

* Using the Surname template you can for example see how family BDM events interact with other 'same family' events

* Using the TagType filter you can see how 'other' event types interact with other family events for a person or person's

Other choices in the filtration include

- Choice of dataset
-Choice of a n Individual or Group of TagTypes including BMD and others
- Optional inclusion of  Event number and Event Memos with choice of number of chars displayed
-Optional inclusion of an identification prefix - to identify where more than 1 timeline merged in TMG
- Optional inclusion of irregularly dated Events
- Choice of your own preposition for each timeline produced
- Choice of a Tag Type value to narrow down the events selected
-Saving of filter settings in a file for regular selection to update after new data entered
- Choice of a name for each timeline
- Viewing or editing of the timeline contents in a csv viewer or Browse edit window.


* Finally, after transfer of the timeline files to the \Documents\Timelines folder the - the files can be
copied to the TMG timelines folder and the timeline can be displayed in the Details Window of your chosen TMG Project..

***
Different Timeline files may be generated for filtered groups of individuals and events,
and each may be turned on and off at will within TMG.
