The INTERACT Timeline Chart, is a very powerful tool during analysis of your coded data!
Our Timeline Chart offers:
oChronological visualization of your coded data
oA wide range of statistical values, split per DataSet and limited to the currently selected time range.
oData filtering and export routines.
oAnalysis routines like the Sequential analysis routine.
Create a Timeline Chart
•To analyze your data, click Analysis - Evaluation - Timeline Chart 
.
•Select the Codes, Classes and DataSets you want to analyze in the upcoming dialogs
The selected data is than displayed in the chronological Timeline Chart:
(A detailed description of this procedure is available in Data Selection - Codes & Classes.)
Timeline Chart Highlights
oThe Timeline Chart offers instant statistics and export routines, all based on the data that is currently visible!
oAll coded Events are always displayed chronologically.
oMoving your mouse over the Codes provides the video time information in the upper right corner.
oEach selected DataSet is displayed in a separate line per Code.
oBy cleverly using and combing the possibilities of the various filters as well as the zoom functionalities, you gain access to a variation of statistical reports and export possibilities.

Align on zero - If you make use of the Sync On Code routine, to virtually align you data on a specific Code, this command is vital to get the right statistics. One click hides all Events that virtually occur before zero. |
|
Zoom out - Only available if not all selected data is visible. Returns the view of your data to its original size. Read the section Zoom in on your data to learn how to use this powerful feature. |

Open Code Archive - Opens the Code Archive editor, in which you can re-arrange the order of your Codes and Classes, change abbreviations and colors. |
|
Duration filter - This filter allows you to virtually remove codes from the Timeline Chart based on their duration. Read Duration filter for details. |
|
Trim on Code filter - This filter allows you to identify all codes that where coded during the same time intervals whenever a specific Code was coded. Read the topic Trim on code filter for details. |
|
Time based interval - Enables you pre-define an exact time window (or interval) to be visualized in the Timeline Chart. Very useful if you want the statistics on only part of your data! Read Time based Interval Selection for details. |

|
Code based interval - This is a combination of the Trim on Code filter and the Time based interval functionality. It allows you to use a specific code from a specific DataSet to create a dynamic time interval, in order to analyze you Codes per occurrence of the selected code. Read Code based Interval Selection for details. |
|
Previous interval - Only active if a code has been selected in for the Code based interval functionality. |
|
Next interval - Only active if a code has been selected in for the Code based interval functionality; it allows you to jump to the next occurrence of the selected code. |
|
Snap shot chart - Copies the content of the TLC window, enabling to simply copy & paste the chart into another application. |
