Tree View

The tree view is the first screen on the JXCirrus Diary and JXCirrus Project applications. It shows all of the data in your diary structured in a tree form (similar to the way Windows File Explorer or Mac Finder displays files).

You can get to the tree view from anywhere on the main window by either clicking on the "Tree" tab near the top of the main window, or selecting the menu View -> Tree.

Selecting Items

When you click on one of the items in the list, that item becomes the selected item, and will be shown in the Item View. It will also become the item that you perform any actions on using the Menus or toolbar.

It is possible to select multiple items.

Most menu actions work on multiple items (although not all make sense).

If you click on an item using the right hand button, it will show you a popup menu of common actions that you can perform on that item.

If you double click on an item, the Diary Entry dialog will pop up allowing you to edit that item.

Expanding and Collapsing

If an item has child items underneath it, it will have a downward facing trangle/arrow next to the item title. To expand this, simply click on the triangle/arrow and you will be able to see the children (the arrow will point to the right instead). To collapse it again, click on the arrow again.

If lots of different parts of the tree are expanded, and you want to collapse everything (except for the item that you have selected), use the menu View -> Collapse Tree.

Columns

The columns in the tree view are:


Column Description
Title The title of the entry. The Symbol in front of the title shows what type of entry it is.
Start For tasks, either the predicted start date, or if you have recorded sessions against the task, the date you started work on it. For appointments or journal entries, the start time.
End For tasks, either the predicted completion date, or if it is complete, the date the task was finished. For appointments or journal entries, the end time.
