An Introduction

Bob Thomas, President

Welcome to the first issue of our newsletter, "Inside Timeline Maker".

Just like Timeline Maker, our goal is to provide information that is simple, straightforward and most of all - useful. Each issue will include handy tips and techniques to improve your knowledge of Timeline Maker's features and capabilities, actual examples and comments from users featuring "Timeline Maker in Action", a free downloadable "Theme of the Month", plus other useful links to new Timeline Maker resources.

As a Timeline Maker customer, you have been automatically subscribed and we invite you to contact us at editor@timelinemaker.com with any thoughts or suggestions for future issues or to be featured in our "Timeline Maker in Action" section.

Please read, enjoy and we look forward to hearing from you.

 

Tips and Techniques:


  • Assigning Color to Categories

You may find some events in a specific category are different colors, not the single color as was intended or expected. This is easily changed.

  • 120 Foot Timeline

Just the size of this timeline is incredible. Jason Shah, Director of Technology for the Yogi Divine Society exported 7 timelines to PDF each measuring 200 inches. Putting them all together made this 120 foot chart.

  • Technology Industry

I manage the IT organization and a lot of our work is project driven so I leverage the tool to allow people to visualize all the projects that may be going on at once.
