BCT — Admin

Data

Export a CSV backup of all rows currently shown in the table (including unsaved edits). Import merges a CSV back in by "id": rows with a matching id overwrite that row, rows with a blank id are added as new, and existing rows not present in the file are left untouched. Imports are staged locally like any other edit — nothing is written to GitHub until you click "Save".

Legend & Filter

Categories

These are the options offered in the Category dropdown when adding or editing an event or time band. Renaming a category here updates every row currently using it; deleting one only removes it from this list — any rows still tagged with it keep that value until changed individually.

Lanes

Lanes split the timeline into horizontal tracks (e.g. one per person or theme) using HistropediaJS's built-in lane layout. These are the options offered in the Lane dropdown when adding or editing an event. (Time bands can't be assigned to a lane — HistropediaJS v1.5.1 always draws them full-width, regardless of lanes.) Renaming a lane here updates every row currently using it; deleting one only removes it from this list — any rows still tagged with it keep that value until changed individually. Rows with no lane assigned appear on the timeline's single default track. Weight sets each lane's fixed share of the available vertical space, relative to the others — e.g. 2 next to a lane with the default 1 gives it double that lane's height, always, regardless of how packed either one currently is (HistropediaJS has no way to grow a lane automatically based on its content).
