Welcome to the CHRONODROMIA glossary of time tracking terminology. This resource explains key concepts and terms used in our application and the broader field of time management and tracking.
From Greek roots "chronos" (time) and "dromos" (course/running), Chronodromia refers to the path or course that time takes. It's a concept that emphasizes visualizing time as a journey with distinct events along the way, rather than just measuring it as a quantity.
Brand TerminologyA specific point in time that holds significance. In CHRONODROMIA, events are the building blocks that define your timeline, allowing you to track intervals between important dates or occurrences.
Core ConceptA visual representation of events in chronological order. Timelines help users understand the relationships between different events and visualize the passage of time between them.
VisualizationThe duration between two events. CHRONODROMIA specializes in tracking and visualizing these intervals to help users understand time relationships better.
MeasurementA classification system for events that groups related items together. Categories help organize events by their purpose, theme, or relationship.
OrganizationA visualization style that represents time in a manner similar to traditional analog clocks, using circular or dial-based graphics to show time progression.
Display ModeA visualization method where events are arranged in vertical layers or stacks, allowing for compact representation of multiple timelines.
Display ModeA dynamic display showing the decreasing time remaining until a future event occurs.
Time DirectionA dynamic display showing the increasing time elapsed since a past event occurred.
Time DirectionAn event that repeats at regular intervals, such as daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly. CHRONODROMIA handles recurring events by generating future instances based on the defined pattern.
Event PropertyA significant event that marks a important point in a project or timeline, often used to track progress or achievements.
Event TypeA future event that represents the final time by which something must be completed.
Event TypeThe allocation of time across different categories or activities, allowing users to analyze how their time is spent.
AnalysisThe subjective experience of time passage, which can differ from objective measurements. Visualizations can help align subjective perceptions with actual durations.
PsychologyA time management technique that allocates fixed time periods to activities, helping to improve focus and efficiency.
MethodologyThe furthest point in time being considered or visualized in planning or analysis.
PlanningA display setting that uses a darker color palette to reduce eye strain in low-light environments and potentially save battery life on some devices.
User InterfaceUser-defined arrangements of events on a timeline, allowing for personalized organization beyond chronological ordering.
LayoutA selectable display configuration that changes how information is visualized in the application.
User InterfaceThe density of the visual layout grid, which affects how many events can be displayed in a given space.
