View source for Manually Hiding Rows and Swimlanes for Version 7.0

==Overview==

There may be some occasions where a chart has too much detail and, for a particular schedule discussion and presentation, it is necessary to '''hide''' one or more '''swimlane levels '''yet retain the '''swimlane''' in the chart. '''Hiding '''and '''unhiding swimlane levels '''is done using the controls in the  '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab as discussed in this article.

When '''swimlane levels''' are '''hidden''', their '''parent swimlane levels''', if any, are unchanged; their '''lower swimlane level cells '''are unchanged; and their '''rows''' remain '''unhidden'''. '''Hiding''' '''swimlane levels''' may have an impact on the '''width dimensions''' of the chart. This article discusses the methods for '''hiding''' and '''unhiding''' '''swimlane levels '''and their '''swimlane level cell labels''' in the chart.

==Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels Using the Chart Properties Form’s Rows/Swimlanes Tab’s Controls==

The '''Chart Properties''' forms are used to '''hide '''and '''unhide swimlane levels''' without changing the '''swimlane sorting''' in the chart. It may be advantageous to initially create a '''Template''' that defines all three possible '''swimlane levels''' and later, using the controls in the '''Chart Properties '''form, as discussed in this article, '''hide '''one or more '''swimlane levels''' to improve the presentation attributes of your chart. In most cases '''swimlane level visibility''', '''row grouping''', and '''swimlane sort settings''' are first established in the '''Template'''.  These setting are used by OnePager to create the initial chart and establish the settings in the chart’s '''Chart Properties''' form. '''Hiding '''and '''unhiding swimlane levels '''can be done by changing the setting of one checkbox for the '''swimlane level''' you desire to '''hide''' or '''unhide''' as described in the procedures and examples provided below.

===Hiding Swimlane Levels - Examples===

To show how '''hiding''' an entire '''swimlane level''' changes the configuration of a chart, let’s start with a three '''swimlane level''' chart with two '''text columns''' for each''' row''' as shown here:

<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>

Next, let’s show how to '''hide''' a '''swimlane level''' using the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab’s controls as follows. To '''hide''' the '''Left#1 swimlane level '''in the above chart, access the '''Chart Properties''' form at the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab, navigate to the '''Swimlanes''' control group, click on the '''Left#1 '''tab, and then click the '''Swimlane Formatting… '''button to access the '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #1 '''form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P70-12_5_1-(1)-07232020.png]]</center>
<center>P70-12_5_1-(1)-07232020.png</center>

To '''hide''' the '''Left#1 swimlane level''', go to the '''Swimlane Text '''control group in the '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #1 '''form, and uncheck the '''Label by''' checkbox to '''OFF''' as shown below:

<center>[[File: P70-12_5_1-(2)-07232020.png]]</center>
<center> P70-12_5_1-(2)-07232020.png </center>

After unchecking the '''Label by''' checkbox to '''OFF''', click the '''OK '''button on the above form and the '''OK '''button on the '''Chart Properties '''form.  The chart now looks like this:

<center>[[File: P70-12_5_1-(3)-07232020.png]]</center>
<center>P70-12_5_1-(3)-07232020.png</center>

Using this same method, we can additionally '''hide''' the '''Left#3 swimlane level''' by navigating through the '''Chart Properties '''form to the '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #3 '''form’s '''Swimlane Text '''control group and unchecking its '''Label by''' checkbox to '''OFF '''to get the result below:

<center>[[File:P70-12_5_1-(4)-07232020.png]]</center>
<center>P70-12_5_1-(4)-07232020.png</center>

The chart configuration above shows only the '''Left#2 swimlane level'''.

===Unhiding Swimlane Levels===

When '''swimlane levels '''are '''hidden''' using the procedure discussed above, the procedure for '''unhiding '''these '''hidden swimlane levels''' requires rechecking their associated '''Label by''' checkbox back to '''ON '''in their respective '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #n '''form.  When '''swimlane levels''' are '''unhidden''' using this procedure, they are placed in the chart in their original position and the '''grouping''' and '''sorting''' of '''rows''' in the '''graph area '''remains unchanged unless '''rows''' and/or '''swimlanes '''were manually '''dragged and dropped''' into different positions in the '''graph'''.
