be used.
3. From the Rule templates list, choose a template from which your rule will be based upon.
Note
The Attach Items to Tasks template is that used for the first three pre-defined TimeLiner rules,
(Items, Selection Sets and Layers By Task Name).
The Attach Items to Tasks by Category/Property template enables you to specify a property within
the model scene. If a task has the same name as the specified property value in the model, then all
items having that property will be attached to that task when you check the rule Attach Items to
Tasks by Category/Property, and click Apply Rules.
4. In the Rule description box, click on each of the underlined values to define your custom rule. The
customizable values available with the built in templates are:
• Column Name. Choose which column in the Tasks tab you wish to compare Item names to. The
default is the Task Name, though you may also choose one of the ten User columns, identified in
the Field Selector.
• Items. Choose what you would like the value in the Column Name to be compared to in the
model scene. The default is Item name, though you may also choose either Selection Sets or
Layers.
• Matching. Use case sensitivity and therefore only match names that are exactly the same. You
may also choose Ignoring to ignore case sensitivity.
• Category/Property Name. Use the name of the category or property as it is displayed in the
interface (recommended). You can also choose Internal Name which is that accessed via the API
(for advanced use only).
• '<category>'. Choose from the available list, which category the property you wish to define is in.
Only the categories that are contained in the scene are available in the drop down.
• '<property>'. Choose from the available list, which property you wish to define. Again, only the
properties in the scene within the chosen category will be available.
5. Click OK to add the new TimeLiner rule, or Cancel to return to JetStream.
Applying TimeLiner rules
1. Check the rules you want to use and press Apply Rules to apply them. The rules will be applied in
order and will attach items to any Tasks without attached items.
2. If Override current selections is checked, then when the rules are applied they will replace any
existing attached items.
