Adding linked files

With TimeMap, you are able to link chart elements to images and to other external files. For example, you can link a fact box to a PDF file containing the image of a document being referenced by the flag. As you view the timeline, a linked file can be opened by pointing to the element and clicking on the paperclip icon that displays above it. In addition to linking directly to files, TimeMap can call viewer applications such as Summation and Concordance Image and have them display images.

Many files that you link to timeline elements will use TimeMap's default Windows File viewer. If the Windows File viewer does not work, you will need to set up a custom file viewer. See About file viewers.
