Viewing your timeline
The results screen is a split: your chronology on the left, an assistant rail on the right. Every control on it is described below, region by region, in the order you meet them going down the screen.
The results screen
The main panel holds the header bar, the control bar and the chronology. The rail on the right holds Chat and, when you open an event, its details. The divider between them can be dragged, and the rail collapses out of the way entirely.
The session header
The bar across the top names the run and carries everything that acts on the whole timeline.
| Control | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Back | Far left | Returns you to wherever you opened the timeline from: the Timeline home, or the history. |
| Feature label and title | Left | Reads Timeline, then the run's template name. |
| Template origin badge | Badges | Names where the date types came from, when the run used a template. |
| Jurisdiction pill | Badges | The jurisdiction the run was stamped with. |
| Date count chip | Badges | The number of dates the extraction found. |
| Information button | Badges | Its tooltip gives the file count and the completion date. |
| Collaborator avatars | Actions | Who has access. A live viewer is marked Viewing now. |
| Share | Actions | Opens the share modal. |
| Transfer ownership | Actions | Owner only. Hands the timeline to another member of your organisation. |
| Save to Judicio | Actions | Writes the timeline into your File Library. Available once processing completes. |
| Export | Actions | Opens the export modal. See Exporting timelines. |
The share modal is titled with the run's name. It lists People with access, assigns Editor or Viewer, and lets a non-owner Leave. Owner is not an assignable role: it changes hands only through Transfer ownership, which asks you to pick a member, then confirms that they become the owner while you stay on as an editor. See Collaboration.
If some files could not be processed, a banner above the results says so and warns that the chronology is partial.
The control bar
The upper band holds the views and add controls beside Assistant; the lower band holds search and filters. Controls wrap when the pane is narrow. Your search, filters and date format carry across when you switch view.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Search | Matches across the whole extraction, not only the rows on screen. It runs a moment after you stop typing. |
| Categories | A multi-select of the run's date types, headed Date type categories, each with a count. |
| Deadlines only | A toggle chip carrying the number of deadlines in the extraction. On, it hides every informational date. |
| Status | A multi-select of evidentiary statuses, headed Fact status. Shown only when the extraction contains a status other than the default. |
| Party | A multi-select of the parties named on the dates, headed Parties. Shown only when parties were extracted. |
| View switcher | Table, Timeline, By document, By date type. |
| Date format | Chooses how full dates are written. |
| Add documents | Opens Files to select and review additional documents for this timeline. |
| Add date type | Adds an extraction definition and offers a priced extraction across attached documents. |
| Assistant | Opens and closes the right-hand rail. |
There is no date-range filter. To narrow to a period, sort or scan in the Table view, or use the Timeline view's month headers.
Date format
The Date format menu offers DD.MM.YYYY, DD/MM/YYYY, DD MMM YYYY and YYYY-MM-DD. A note under the options explains that partial dates follow how each event was recorded, and that an event's precision is set in its edit form. Changing the format changes display only.
The four views
Table
One row per date, in a grid with a sticky header and frozen leading columns. This is the view for working methodically through a long chronology.
Columns, left to right:
| Column | Contents |
|---|---|
| Selection checkbox | Selects the row. The header checkbox selects every row on the current page. |
# | The event's number in the extraction. |
| Date | The date, plus a red alarm glyph when the date is a deadline. |
| Type | The date type, with the fact-status badge and any approx. or calculated tag beneath it. |
| Summary | The one-line summary with its numbered citation chips, clamped to keep rows scannable. |
| Source | The source file name, truncated in the middle so the identifying tail survives. |
Type, Summary and Source can be resized by dragging their edge, and each carries a Column actions menu in its header:
- Auto-fit column sizes it to its content.
- Auto-fit all columns does the same to the resizable columns.
- Expand to reading width gives one column the room to be read, and Collapse column puts it back.
- Reset all column widths appears once you have resized something, and undoes it.
- Ask about this column focuses chat on that field across the timeline.
Widths are remembered for that timeline. Pagination defaults to 20 rows and offers 10, 20, 50 or 100. Search and filters query the complete extraction, including results beyond the first 200 events.
Timeline
The visual chronology, oldest first, grouped under month headings. Each card carries a date badge, the category badge, a Deadline pill where relevant, the fact-status badge, any provenance tags, the summary with its citation chips, and the source file name.
The date badge never invents a missing part. A full date shows the day over the weekday. A month-precision date shows the month over the year. A year-precision date shows just the year.
Each card uses a compact overflow menu for Ask in chat, View details, Edit and Copy.
By document
Select a whole document card to open its events. The navigator has no checkboxes; Enter and Space also open the focused card. Ask about document scopes the Assistant to the active attached document.
A paginated list on the left shows attached documents and their event counts, including documents with no extracted events. Selecting one loads its paginated event cards on the right. The list remains available when Files is open and stacks above the cards in narrow panes.
Loading, failed extraction and No events found are distinct states. Existing events remain visible during refresh. Events without a source document remain accessible in a separate entry.
Reach for it to confirm you have pulled everything out of one filing, or when a counterparty questions the dates in one specific agreement.
By date type
The same layout groups results by date type. The paginated list is headed Date types; choosing a type loads its event cards, including each event's source. Unclassified events have their own entry.
Each configured type has actions to Ask about this column, Re-run this column and Edit date type. Asking resolves the complete scope on the server, including events beyond the current page. Re-running shows its cost and protects manual work. See Editing dates.
Reach for it to compare like with like across every file at once, or to build a deadline list.
Event actions
In Table, select an event's checkbox to show the selection toolbar below the results. The table has no separate Actions column. Card views keep their compact event menus.
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ask | Attaches selected events to the chat composer. Card menus use Ask in chat. |
| View details | Opens the event in the details rail. |
| Edit | Opens the event's edit form in the details rail. |
| Copy | Copies the event. |
Bulk actions
The selection toolbar sits below the results, outside the table scroller. Selection survives paging and is cleared when you leave Table. Other views use card navigation without selection checkboxes. View details, Edit and Copy require exactly one selected event; Ask supports multiple events. Editing requires editor access and is disabled during extraction.
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Count | Shows how many events are selected. |
| Ask | Attaches those events to the chat composer. The count is on the button. |
| Clear selection | Empties the selection. |
The details rail
Choosing View details pushes an event over the rail's active tab, under the heading Event details.
| Region | Contents |
|---|---|
| Header | Previous and next arrows, and a position readout in the form 4 of 61. |
| Date row | The date, with a Deadline pill where relevant. |
| Type row | The date type badge and any approx. or calculated tag. |
| Summary | The full summary with clickable citation chips. |
| Fact status | Four options: Asserted, Disputed, Undisputed, Agreed. Changing one saves immediately. |
| Parties | The parties associated with the date, with their roles. Shown only when the extraction found any. |
| Quoted passages | The verbatim passage behind each citation with its page number. Selecting one opens the source at that page. |
| Source | The originating file, plus a Search this document box whose matches open the source at the match. |
| Footer | Copy and Edit. |
Back in the rail header closes the details view and returns to the tab underneath. With nothing selected, the rail invites you to select an event or click an event citation in chat.
The Assistant rail
The Timeline Assistant is chat-only. It keeps conversation history, scoped questions, citations and event details.
Chat
Ask questions across the whole extraction. The composer reads Ask about this timeline…; the empty state offers three starters: Which events are deadlines?, Summarise the litigation phase. and Are there any deadlines in the next 60 days?
Add events attaches specific events as context. The context bar then reads Asking about 3 events, with a remove control per event and a Clear all once there is more than one. Answers carry citation chips: an event chip opens that event in the details rail, and a source chip opens the document.
A microphone dictates into the composer, and a stop control appears while an answer is streaming. Follow-up suggestions are collected under Suggested follow-ups after a turn completes.
When there is nothing to show
- No dates at all: No dates extracted, with the note that the extraction found nothing matching the requested criteria.
- Nothing matching your filters: No dates match your search, suggesting you adjust the search or the category filters.
A line pinned below the results reads Judicio can make mistakes. Please double-check responses. Every date is cited, so checking one is a click.
Finding a timeline again
The Timeline history is where View all on the home's Recent activity strip lands, and where Back returns you when you opened the timeline from there. It has four tabs, each carrying a count.
| Tab | What it holds |
|---|---|
| In progress | Runs that have not finished. Rows show live progress and expand in place to give per-file status and a Stop generation button. |
| Failed | Runs that failed, were stopped or were cancelled. The status badge distinguishes the three, and the failure reason is shown inline where the run gave one. |
| Completed | Successful runs. While you are on another tab, its label also flags how many finished runs you have not looked at yet. |
| Shared | Timelines other people shared with you. Present only where collaboration is available, and its count is hidden when it is zero. |
Row actions differ by tab.
| Action | Where | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Stop generation | In progress | Signals a running extraction to stop. The row then moves to Failed. |
| Retry | Failed | Re-runs the same timeline. Retrying is whole-timeline: there is no per-file retry. |
| Re-run | Completed | Starts a fresh run from the same setup, leaving the original untouched. |
| Download | Completed | Produces the report without opening the timeline. |
| Collaboration menu | Completed | Share and, for an owner, Transfer ownership. |
An in-progress list with nothing in it offers Generate new timeline and View completed.
