Timeline Study
A Timeline Study aggregates events from any combination of generator studies in the active workspace into a single chronological view. Use a Timeline Study to see the bigger picture across your research without switching back and forth between individual studies. Each event the Timeline reports comes from one of the selected generator studies; the Timeline does not generate astronomical events on its own.
Load Timeline Events
The Load button on a Timeline Study aggregates events from every generator study you have checked into a single chronological view. Events are pulled directly from the source studies, so the Timeline reflects whatever events those studies have already generated.
Unlock Timeline Study
After a Timeline Study is loaded, the configuration controls become read-only. The Unlock button clears the loaded events and re-enables the configuration controls so you can change which generator studies the Timeline aggregates.
Timeline Table
The Timeline table displays the events that the Timeline Study has aggregated from its selected generator studies. The table presents an elegantly simplified two-column view containing only dates and event descriptions, so you can see the confluence of key events without switching between individual studies.
Find In Timeline
The Find tool on a loaded Timeline Study scrolls the Timeline table to and selects the event whose date is closest to a target date you supply. Use it to jump directly to a particular epoch in a long timeline.
Export Timeline Events to CSV
The Export button on a loaded Timeline Study writes every event in the Timeline table to a CSV file. Use export to back up the aggregated timeline or to bring it into a spreadsheet for further analysis.
