View source for OnePager's Ribbon Tool Bar View Tab for Version 8.0

==Overview==

Illustrations used or referenced in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the features, function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Oracle Primavera P6, Smartsheet, Planisware Enterprise, Microsoft Planner, Asana, and Wrike.

==OnePager's Ribbon Tool Bar View Tab==

The OnePager Ribbon Tool Bar '''View '''tab is shown in detail below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(53-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(53-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

The '''View''' tab is useful for managing the contents of the '''Chart Editor''' with respect to which '''snapshots''' are shown, for '''Zooming in''' and '''out''' on specific sections of the chart, for controlling the '''display of graphic elements''', '''refreshing''' the chart, and altering the chart’s '''extent''' by changing its '''Start/Finish dates'''.  The five (5) sub-sections of the '''View '''tab are discussed below:

===View Tab – Snapshots Sub-Section===

The three (3) controls in the '''Snapshots '''sub-section are '''enabled''' only when the chart contains two ( 2) or more snapshots.  

====Previous/Next Buttons====

The '''left and right pointing arrows''',  shown below, are '''enabled''' only when, from the current '''Chart Editor snapshot''' being displayed, there is a '''Previous snapshot''' or a '''Next snapshot''' from the perspective of the '''current snapshot''' being displayed in the '''Chart Editor'''.  Clicking the '''Previous or left point arrow''' when it is '''enabled''' causes the Chart Editor to display the '''previous snapshot''' in the sequence of '''snapshot dates'''.  Clicking the '''Next or right pointing arrow''' when it is '''enabled''' takes you to the '''next or further dated snapshot''' available in the chart.

<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(54A-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

====List All Button====

When you click the '''List All '''button, OnePager accesses the '''Manage Snapshots''' form which lists all the '''snapshots''' '''by date''' and '''name''' which is optional in the chart.  Selecting a '''snapshot date''' in the '''grid''' displays that '''selected snapshot''' in the '''Chart Editor''' when you click the '''OK''' button on the '''Manage Snapshots '''form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(54-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(54-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

For more information on using the '''Manage Snapshot''' form, please see the article referenced in the table below:

|}
</center>

===View Tab – Layout Sub-Section===

There are four (4) controls in the '''Layout''' sub-section, shown below, used for controlling the “'''look'''” in the '''Chart Editor''' with respect to '''magnification''' and '''orientation''' on your screen.  These four (4) controls are discussed in detail below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(54B-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(54B-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

====Zoom In/Zoom Out Buttons====

The '''Zoom In/Zoom Out''' buttons change the '''magnification''' ('''Zoom factor''') within the '''graph''' and allow you to focus '''in or away''' from portions of the chart as demonstrated below:

Suppose the chart’s '''Zoom factor''' is set to 100% as shown here:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(55-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(55-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

In the illustration above, the '''Zoom to:''' window show '''100%'''.  If the '''Zoom In '''button is clicked once, the '''Zoom factor''' changes to '''110%''' and, as shown in the illustration below, the '''swimlanes''' and '''task bars''' appear larger and less of the chart appears on your screen. 

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(56-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(56-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

Additional clicks on the '''Zoom In '''button''' increases''' the '''Zoom factor''' and ultimately OnePager provides '''horizontal '''and '''vertical scroll bars '''for navigation in the '''Chart Editor'''.

Clicking the '''Zoom Out''' button '''reduces''' the '''magnification''' making the graph look smaller in the '''Chart Editor'''.

Each time either the '''Zoom In''' or '''Zoom Out''' button is clicked, the value in the '''Zoom to:''' window is changed to reflect the change in '''Zoom factor'''.

====Zoom To: Dropdown and Window====

The '''Zoom to:''' window has a dropdown list of most use '''Zoom factors''' as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(57)-08292022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(57)-08292022.png</center>-->

Clicking the '''Zoom to:''' dropdown accesses the dropdown list shown above.  '''Select''' the desired '''Zoom factor''' with a left click and the '''selected value''' is entered into the '''Zoom to: ''' window.

You also have the option to set the '''Zoom factor''' to by clicking in the '''Zoom to:''' window and '''typing''' the desired value.  After '''typing''' in the value, the checkbox to the left of the '''Zoom to: '''window is '''enabled''' and clicking this checkbox sets the new '''Zoom factor''' value into the '''Chart Editor'''.  The values accepted range from '''5%''' to '''500%.'''

====Fit: Dropdown====

The '''Fit:''' dropdown lets you set the orientation of the graph in the '''Chart Editor''' to either '''Vertical''' or '''Horizontal''' as shown in the dropdown below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(58)-08292022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(58)-08292022.png</center>-->

The '''Vertical Fit''' option assures that the single page in the '''Chart Editor''' shows all the '''rows''' and '''swimlanes vertically''' even if the screen is not filled to the right as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(59-3)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(59-3)-09092025.png</center>-->

The '''Vertical Fit: '''option shows the entire chart vertically in the Chart Editor’s viewing area.  If the extent is large in terms of the charts '''Start/Finish dates'''. A '''horizontal scroll bar''' is provided on the bottom of the chart.

Selecting the '''Horizontal Fit''' option produces the screen view of the '''Chart Editor''' shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(60-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(60-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

In this '''Fit:''' option the chart fills the width of the '''Chart Editor’s viewing area''' but the vertical portion is cut off and available using the '''scroll bar''' on the right.

===View Tab – Graphic Elements Sub-Section===

There are five (5) checkbox controls in the '''Graphic Elements''' sub-section used for controlling which '''graphic elements '''such as the '''time cursor''', '''Hover Boxes''', '''Timestamps''', '''The Legend''', or '''Task Links''' are shown in the chart.  These five (5) checkbox controls are discussed in detail below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(61)-08292022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(61)-08292022.png</center>-->

====Time Cursor Checkbox====

When the '''Time Cursor''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', the '''time cursor''' is shown in the '''graph''' if the '''snapshot date''' is within the '''Start/Finish date extent''' of the chart as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(62-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(62-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

====Hover Boxes Checkbox====

Checking the '''Hover Boxes''' checkbox '''ON enables''' the '''Hover Box feature''' allowing you to use the '''Hover Box''' to examine task bars and milestone symbols and obtain current information on them as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(63)-08292022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(63)-08292022.png</center>-->

The '''Hover Box''' as shown above provides the task bar/milestone symbol’s '''start/finish dates''', '''task name''', and '''Unique ID'''.

Additionally, the '''Hover Box''' can be used within '''Graphs'''  to highlight '''data point''' as shown below in this example with '''Graphs''':

<center>'''Hover Box Employed On a Graph Data Point'''</center>
<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2_9-80-(63A)-11192024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2_9-80-(63A)-11192024.png</center>-->  

When the '''Hover Box''' feature is turned '''ON''' and there are '''Data Cells''' present in any '''graph area''', the '''Hover Box''' is not displayed when the mouse cursor is moved in or through  a '''Data Cell'''.  In the case of '''Data Cells''' the '''Hover Boxes' ''' contents are '''redundant'''.

For more information on the '''Hover Box''', please see the article at the link below:

|}
</center>

====Timestamps Checkbox====

When the '''Timestamps''' checkbox is turned '''ON''', '''some dates''' in the chart are augmented with the '''time of day data''' taken from the '''source plan''', if provided.  For example, with the '''Timestamps '''checkbox checked '''ON''', '''dates''' in the '''Manages Snapshots''' form are augmented with '''time of day''' information as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(64-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(64-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

As another example, if the '''Hover Boxes '''checkbox is also turned '''ON''', the task '''Start/Finish dates''' in the '''Hover Box''' are also augmented with '''time of day values''' from the '''source plan''' as shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(65)-08292022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(65)-08292022.png</center>-->

====Legend Checkbox====

Turning '''ON''' the '''Legend''' checkbox immediately causes the display of the '''Legend '''in the chart at the location determined by the '''Template Properties''' or '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Legend''' tab.  An example is shown here:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(66-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(66-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

====Links Checkbox====

When the '''Links''' checkbox is checked '''ON''' and manual or '''Data-Driven Task Links''' are '''imported''' from the '''source plan''', the '''Chart Editor''' displays the '''task links''' in the '''graph''' as shown here:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(67-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(67-2)-09092025.png</center>-->

In order to insert manual '''Task Links''' into the '''graph''' as discussed in the '''Insert '''sub-section above, the '''Links '''checkbox in the '''Graphic elements '''sub-section of the '''View tab''' must be checked '''ON'''.

===View Tab – Refresh Sub-Section===

The '''Refresh''' sub-section contains the '''Redraw '''button discussed below.

====Redraw Button====

The '''Redraw''' button forces the '''Chart Editor '''to '''redraw''' '''all graphics in the chart'''.  This function is useful when occasionally you may find an artifact in the '''graph''' or are unsure that the chart is perfectly up-to-date.  The '''Redraw '''button is shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(68)-08292022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(68)-08292022.png</center>-->

===View Tab – Dates Sub-Section===

The '''Dates '''sub-section contains two (2) '''Date Picker '''dropdowns for the chart’s '''Start date''' and '''Finish date''', respectively as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(68A)-09022022.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(68A)-09022022.png</center>-->

The '''Dates''' sub-section is discussed in detail below:

====Start Date Picker Dropdown====

Clicking on the '''Start date picker''' dropdown accesses the OnePager standard '''Date Picker''' form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-4_0_2_2-72-(69-1)-06202023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-4_0_2_2-72-(69-1)-06202023.png</center>-->

With the '''Start date picker''' form accessed, you can use the form to set the '''Start date '''that is used to define the '''left side of the graph'''.  This '''Start date''' is separate and apart from the '''start date''' provided by the '''source plan'''.  The chart’s '''start date''' is for the purpose only of establishing the '''visible left''' or '''earliest date''' for the chart.  Based on the '''Start date selected''', the chart may have '''empty space '''to the left of the first task bar/milestone symbol or some task bar/milestone symbols may be '''cut off''' on the '''left side''' of the chart with consideration of the display or '''swimlane''' and/or '''row label cells'''.

====Finish Date Picker Dropdown====

Clicking on the '''Finish date picker''' dropdown accesses the OnePager standard '''Date Picker''' form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(70-3)-09092025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-4_0_2_2-80-(70-3)-09092025.png</center>-->

With the '''Finish date picker''' form accessed, you can use the form to set the '''Finish date '''that is used to define the '''right side of the graph'''.  This '''Finish date''' is separate and apart from the '''finish date''' provided by the '''source plan'''.  The chart’s '''finish date''' is for the purpose only of establishing the '''visible right''' or '''latest date''' for the chart.  Based on the '''Finish date selected''', the chart may have '''empty space '''to the '''right of the latest''' task bar/milestone symbol or some task bar/milestone symbols may be '''cut off''' on the '''right side''' of the chart.

===View Tab - Display Sub-Section===

The '''Display''' sub-section has two control button, the '''Present''' and the '''Display Filter''' buttons as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-4_0_2_2-80-(110-2)-09092025.png]]</center>
