To Build Tasks from a Data Source

To build tasks from a data source

1. If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab Tools panel TimeLiner .
2. In the TimeLiner window, the Data Sources tab, click the Refresh button, select either Selected Data Source or All Data Sources then select Rebuild Task Hierarchy in the Refresh from Data Source Dialog Box and click OK.
   This will import all of the tasks from the project file into TimeLiner.

   Note: You can also right-click on a file in the Data Sources tab and select the Rebuild Task Hierarchy option.
3. Click the Tasks tab to view the created tasks. The task table is populated in accordance with predefined settings for the data source. You can make any necessary overrides in the Field Selector Dialog Box.

Note: Although the tasks have now been imported into TimeLiner, you still need to Attach Tasks to Geometry before you can run a simulation. The fastest way to attach imported tasks is by applying rules (see Use Rules to Attach Tasks).
