History Manager

The Time History Manager is the Time file management system designed to make it easier to look up and open data files from previous and current years.

It helps you archive your old Time files and refer to them quickly when needed. Each file appears in the Manager showing its name and year end date. Clicking the file in the Time History Manager allows you to open the file and look at it.

Once you've added at least one file beside the current one to the Time History Manager, you can display a quick file selector toolbar.

  • To open another file, select the file from the list. You will be asked for your user ID and to confirm any needed conversions to the current version.
  • To hide the tool bar, click the View menu, select Tool bars and deselect Time History Manager toolbar.
  • The History Manager does not allow duplicate files to be on the list.
  • Adding a File B to File A's Time History Manager does not automatically add File A to File B's Time Manager. To be able to switch back and forth between two or more files, you must add all files that you want to access to each file's File Manager.
