Positioning fact boxes |
Auto-Arrange only moves fact boxes that are overlapping other facts (starting from the far end of the visual) Auto-Stack repositions all fact boxes. |
|
Auto-Arrange may move facts left or right in horizontal mode / up or down in vertical mode. Auto-Stack always places the Fact Boxes on the front edge of their respective date lines. |
Time scale breaks |
Auto-Stack removes unnecessary time scale breaks added automatically by Auto-Stack or Auto-Arrange. Auto-Arrange never removes time scale breaks. |
Page reduction |
Auto-Stack may reduce the number of pages wide in a timeline. Auto-Arrange never reduces the number of pages wide in a timeline. |
Entering facts |
Auto-Stack is used automatically when you send facts from CaseMap. Auto-Arrange is optionally run when you manually enter facts into TimeMap that overlap other facts. |
Visual result |
Auto-Stack produces a better looking result when a timeline contains many overlapping facts. Auto-Arrange does a better job when a timeline has just a few facts that overlap. |
