2. In the TimeLiner window click the Links tab.
3. Right-click in the link view, click Add Link, and choose the required option from a list of the project
sources that may be connected to on the current PC.
Note:
For more information on which sources are typically available, see “ Supported Scheduling
Software ”.
4. Use the standard Open dialog box to browse to and open the desired project file.
TimeLiner creates the link to the selected file in accordance with the predefined parameters
configured for the corresponding data source using a COM interface.
Depending on the data source, the Field Selector dialog box may be displayed on the screen. You
can use it to override some of the predefined data import options.
5. By default, your link is called New Link (x), where x is the latest available number. To make your link
more descriptive, right-click it, click Rename on the shortcut menu, and enter a new name.
You are now ready to create the tasks from you link.
Editing Links
To edit a link:
1. If the TimeLiner window is not already open, select Tools > TimeLiner from the menu bar.
2. In the TimeLiner window, the Links tab, right-click the link you want to modify, and click Edit Link on
the shortcut menu.
The Field Selector dialog box opens.
Typically, this dialog box is used to customize the column mapping between the TimeLiner link and
the external project file. For example, if the external file includes Baseline Start and End dates you
may want to map them to the Start Date and End Date columns in TimeLiner. Also, if you have
added any custom columns to TimeLiner, for each link, you must map the data in the external file to
the required user columns in TimeLiner, otherwise the user columns will be empty.
3. Click OK to save changes, or Cancel to return to NavisWorks.
Note:
For each link, you must either rebuild the task hierarchy or synchronize tasks to apply the
changes.
