docking, hold down the Ctrl key.
2. Create some tasks, each having a name, start and end date and a task type. You can enter tasks by
hand on the Tasks Tab. Alternatively, the Tools context menu on the Tasks Tab will create an initial
set of tasks based on layer, item, or selection set names. TimeLiner defines some default task types
for you (Construct, Demolish and Temporary), or you can define your own using the Configure Tab.
You can use the Links Tab to import tasks from an external source, such as Microsoft Project™. You
can choose a field from the external schedule to define the types of the imported tasks, or you can
set task types by hand. Linked fields cannot be edited directly in TimeLiner. You can, of course,
update the schedule externally and synchronize the tasks in TimeLiner with those from the external
source.
3. Connect objects in the model to tasks. You do this by hand on the Tasks Tab, using the context
menu to attach selections, searches or selection sets.
