| Now, fill in your data for each cell. You'll see from the Timeline guide that each row represents an event on the timeline. We've entered four events in the example to the left. This data was taken from the Thomas Jefferson Foundation's website. |

Now that you’ve entered your data, it’s time to format it.

If you pull up our Timeline reference guide, you'll see that the first row you filled out contains data labels. We need to “freeze” this row. "Freezing" helps Audio-Video read the data you entered.

First, set "Center date of timeline." 1800 seems like a good place to center the timeline, so we'll enter ". According to the Visualization Index, however, this field should be in the DD/MM/YYYY format. We'll pick an arbitrary date and enter "01/01/1800" in the field. If you want to set a specific day, you would use the month/day/year format ("01/25/1800"). |
