Build your annotation library ​

Build a library of your own: groups, tracks and sub-types, so the timeline has the rows you need.

The Library Manager, with one row for each track and the choices Count occurrences, Measure duration, Library and Free text.

Before you start ​

The 3 levels ​

A library has 3 levels. A Group holds tracks. A Track holds sub-types. A sub-type is the value you pick when you mark a moment. The Library Manager shows the level of each row when you point at it.

Steps ​

  1. Click Manage Library at the foot of the track panel. The Library Manager opens.
  2. Click Add Group at the end of the list. A new row appears and its name is ready to type.
  3. Type a name for the group, such as Gesture. Press Enter to keep it.
  4. Click the group row. A blue ring marks it as the chosen group.
  5. Click Add track. A row named New track appears inside the group.
  6. Type a name for the track. Press Enter to keep it.
  7. Click the green + on the track row. An empty sub-type row appears under it.
  8. Type a name for the sub-type. Press Enter to keep it.
  9. Click Apply Library. The panel closes and the track appears on the timeline.

Check it worked ​

The track panel lists your group as a colored header, with the track under it. The first 4 sub-types each show a dot and a name, then +N for the rest.

A track with no sub-types still works. Its annotations then use the track name as their value.
