| The Association
dialog displays like-named files listed by type -- allowing
you to quickly open and create documents, including
Workspaces, based on the title of the currently opened window.
How Associations Work...
Think of Associations as just a
simple list of related files. During the planning stage, you
might wish to create a Timeline or Outline for each Chapter.
As your story develops, you might add a Builder to store
important clips or a Dossier to summarize content.
Eventually, you might have five or six documents all with the
same title -- all related to just one Chapter. Quickly locate
them using the Association dialog.
To view the Association dialog
from a Chapter, choose 'Association' from the Chapter's 'File'
menu. This 'Association' menu option can also be found
with Builder, Note, Outline, Checklist, Sequence, Timeline,
Storyboard, Gallery, and Dossier windows.
The Association dialog will open, displaying a list of
files with the same title as the parent Chapter. Click
to open a file, or to create a new file.
Renaming Many Files All
at Once
The Association dialog allows
users to quickly mass-rename many like-named documents
quickly. Click the 'Rename Association Files' button to
rename all like-named files simultaneously.
A list of associated files can
also be viewed as part of the Planner file type. Click
the 'Change View' icon to view this list.
The list, displaying files by
type, is based on the currently selected Planner item.
The list works in conjunction with the Planner's 'Create'
menu.
