==About the Rows and Swimlanes Tab==

Illustrations used 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, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6, Microsoft Planner, Planisware Enterprise, Asana, and Wrike.

The '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab in the '''Chart Properties''' form, below, provides you with the capabilities to '''collect''' task from you imported '''source plans '''into '''rows''', '''group rows''' into '''swimlane levels''', '''format rows/swimlanes properties''', and '''sort rows '''and '''swimlanes'''.

<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(1-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

The layout for the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab for OnePager Express and OnePager Bundle are the same as the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab shown above for OnePager Pro.  The '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab consists of three control groups which each have sub-control groups with specific controls and buttons to access sub-forms as discussed in the following sub-sections.

This article is meant as an introduction to the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.

OnePager supports three (3) '''swimlane levels'''.  Accordingly, there are certain additional controls that are provided for creating and managing  up to three '''swimlane levels'''.  

For more in depth information on '''multi-level swimlane '''capabilities of OnePager, the two article links below are comprehensive and helpful:

</center>

What follows from this point is an overview of the controls available in the redesigned '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.

==Rows==

===Task Layout Sub-Control Group===

The '''Rows''' control group gives you the option to '''layout''' task bars/milestone symbols in the chart in a '''Gantt chart layout''' or a '''Timeline layout''' where '''multiple imported tasks''' are represented in one '''row'''.  The '''row''' is the basic horizontal strip where task bars/milestone symbols are placed by OnePager when the chart is created or updated.  The most common '''layout option''' is the '''Gantt chart layout''' where one task bar/milestone symbol is occupies a '''row'''.  The '''Gantt chart layout''' is the '''default'''.

OnePager Pro, OnePager Express, and OnePager Bundle are distributed with '''Template Properties''' forms that support both '''Gantt chart layouts''' and '''Timeline layouts'''.

For '''Timeline layouts''' there are additional options for '''aligning''' multiple task bars/milestone symbols and '''staggering overlapping task''' on the '''timelines'''.

===Row Border Formatting Button===

Clicking the '''Row Border Formatting '''button access the '''Row Formatting''' form as shown here:

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(2-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(2-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

The '''Row Formatting''' form contains the controls for turning '''ON'''  and '''OFF '''all '''row borders''' and '''formatting row borders''' with respect to their '''color''', '''line width''', and '''dash type'''.  '''Row borders''' may overlap '''borders''' for '''swimlane levels''' and the '''interior frame''' of the '''graph area'''.

For more information of '''Row and Swimlane Borders''', please see the article at:

{| class="wikitable"
| [[Row and Swimlane Borders for Version 8.0 | Row and Swimlane Borders]] <!--12.04.1-80-->
|}
</center>

===Sorting Rows===

The controls in the '''Row Sorting''' sub-control group provides the capabilities for '''Sorting rows like Project ''' for OnePager Pro, '''Sorting rows like Excel''' for OnePager Express, or '''Sorting row like source''' for Oracle Primavera P6, Smartsheet, Project for the Web, Planisware Enterprise, Asana, and Wrike using OnePager Bundle and using a '''source plan '''imported '''data field''' to control the '''sorting of rows''' in the chart.

For more information on '''Row Sorting''', please see the related sub-sections in the article at:

| [[Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows for Version 8.0#Sort Rows Like Project, Sort Rows Like Excel or Sort Rows Like Source | Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows - Sort Rows Like Project, Sort Rows Like Excel or Sort Rows Like Source]] <!--12.01.1-80-->
|}
</center>

==Swimlanes==

OnePager supports three (3) '''swimlane levels''' and the controls are provided in the '''Swimlanes '''sub-tab of the ''' Rows/Swimlanes ''' tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(3-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(3-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

'''Swimlane levels '''are contiguous sets of '''rows''' that you can be group together using the '''Group by''' values imported from your Microsoft Project or Excel '''source plan '''designated '''data field'''.

===Swimlane Left#1, Left#2, and Left#3 Sub-Tabs===

OnePager supports up to three (3) '''swimlane levels '''that are named '''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', and '''Left#3'''.  These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager and in this documentation.  As a convention, the lowest numbered '''Left#n''' '''swimlane level''' appears in the chart to the furthest left along the '''left border''' of the chart and higher numbered '''Left#n swimlane levels '''appear in the next right position.  This scheme is intended to maintain a lowest to highest '''swimlane level numbering''' from left to right in the chart.  '''Text columns''', when shown in the chart, appear to the right of the '''highest numbered''' '''swimlane level''' when '''swimlane levels '''are being shown.  When there are no '''swimlane levels''' shown in the chart '''text columns''', if shown, are to the left of the '''graph area'''.

When '''swimlane levels''' are shown in the chart they are accompanied by a '''swimlane level name label''' that is either created by OnePager from the '''source plan’s '''designated '''data field''' for that '''swimlane level''' or you may provide your own '''swimlane level name label''' using controls provided and discussed below.

===Merging Duplicate Swimlanes===

When selected '''swimlanes''' are '''merged''' within an existing '''swimlane level cell''', OnePager places the '''new merged swimlane '''in close proximity to the original selected '''modal swimlane level cell''' to avoid major reconfiguration of the chart.  OnePager assumes that the reason for '''merging swimlanes''' is that, in most schedule presentation situations, the '''new merged swimlanes''' will be '''re-positioned''' elsewhere in the chart and potentially the '''new merged swimlane level cell label''' will be '''edited'''.  As a result, you have the option to retain the '''new merged swimlane''' in the OnePager designated '''position''' or '''move''' the '''new merged swimlane '''using the '''drag and drop''' method to a different '''position''' in the chart.

For more information on '''merging duplicate swimlanes''', please see the article at: 

<center>
{| class="wikitable"
| [[Merging Duplicate Swimlane Titles for Version 8.0 | Merging Duplicate Swimlane Labels]] <!--12.21.3-80-->
|}
</center>

Once the '''new merged swimlane''' is created containing the selected original '''swimlanes''' shown above, the '''new merged swimlane''' can be '''edited''' the same as any other '''swimlane''' in the chart.  '''Edits''' can include changing the '''label''' in the '''Left#1 swimlane level cell''', '''dragging and dropping''' the '''new merged swimlane''' to another '''position''' in the chart, or changing its '''background color''' in some fashion.

</center>

===Swimlane Formatting Button===

Each sub-tab in the '''Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form is associated with a '''Swimlane Formatting '''button that access its '''Swimlane Formatting – Left#n '''form as shown below:''' '''

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(4-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(4-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

There are three (3) identical '''Swimlane Formatting – Left#n''' forms, one for each '''swimlane level '''accessed by first clicking the desired '''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', or '''Left#3 '''sub-tab described above.  The '''Swimlane Formatting – Left#n '''form’s '''Column Headings''' control group contains the controls for '''formatting''' the '''Column Heading’s''' attributes for the '''swimlane level''' including '''Font '''characteristics, '''Rotation''', '''Alignment''', and '''swimlane level heading’s background color'''.  The '''Swimlane Text '''control group controls the selection and '''formatting '''of the '''text''' that resides within the '''swimlane level name label cells''' shown in the chart.

The '''Swimlane Borders''' control group turns '''ON '''and '''OFF''' the '''swimlane level’s borders''' and controls their '''format''' in terms of '''color''', '''line width''', and '''dash type'''.

As mentioned above, '''swimlane borders '''may overlap '''row borders''' in the chart.  Additionally, when '''multiple swimlane levels''' are shown, these '''multiple swimlane level borders''' may overlap.

===Sorting Swimlanes===

The controls in the '''Swimlane Sorting''' sub-control group provides the capabilities for '''Sorting swimlanes like Project ''', '''Sorting rows like Excel''' for OnePager Express, or '''Sorting rows like source''' for Oracle Primavera P6 and Smartsheet using OnePager Bundle  and using a '''source plan '''imported '''data field''' to control the '''sorting of swimlanes''' in the chart.

For more information on '''Swimlanes''', please see the related sub-sections in the article at:

|}
</center>

==Text Columns==

OnePager supports ten (10) '''text columns''' and the controls are provided in the '''Text Columns '''sub-tab of the ''' Rows/Swimlanes '''tab in the '''Chart Properties '''form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(5-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(5-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

The ten '''text columns '''are associated with each visible '''row''' and can be used to display values imported from your '''source plan’s '''designated '''data field'''.  The first five (5) '''text columns''', when turned '''ON''', are placed to the right of the right-most '''swimlane labels column''' or the left edge of the chart if no '''swimlanes''' are activated.  The second set of five (5) '''text columns''', when turned '''ON''', are placed on the right side of the '''graph''' and contained within the right border of the chart.

===Text Column Left#1, Left#2, Left#3, Left#4, Left#5, Right#1, Right#2, Right#3, Right#4, and Right#5 Sub-Tabs===

OnePager supports ten (10) '''text columns '''that are named '''Left#1''' through '''Left#5''' and '''Right#1''' through '''Right#5'''. These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager and in this documentation.  As a convention, the lowest numbered '''Left#n''' '''text column''' appears in the chart to the furthest left along the left '''border '''of the chart or to the immediate right of the '''highest swimlane level''' (if '''swimlane levels''' are being shown) and higher numbered '''Left#n text columns '''appear in the next right position.  For '''Right#n text columns''', the lowest numbered '''Right#n''' '''text column''' appears in the chart immediately on the '''right side of the graph''' which is always present in the chart.  Higher numbered '''Right#n''' '''text columns''' appear to the right of lower numbered '''Right#n''' '''text columns'''.

This scheme is intended to maintain a lowest to highest '''text column numbering''' from left to right in the chart.  '''Left#n Text columns''', when shown in the chart, appear to the immediate left of the '''graph area'''.  '''Right#n Text Columns''', when shown in the chart, appear to the immediate right of the '''graph area'''.

When '''text columns''' are shown in the chart they are accompanied by a '''text column name label''' that is either created by OnePager from the '''source plan’s '''designated '''data field''' for that '''text column''' or you may provide your own '''text column name label''' using controls provided and discussed below.

===Text Column Formatting… Button===

Each sub-tab in the '''Text Columns '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form is associated with a '''Text-Column Formatting… '''button that access its '''Text-Column  Formatting – Left#n '''form or the '''Text-Column Formatting - Right#n '''form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(6-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(6-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

There are five (5) identical '''Text-Column Formatting – Left#n''' forms and five (5) identical '''Text-Column Formatting - Right#n''' forms. Each '''text column '''is accessed by first clicking one of the desired '''Left#1''' through '''Left#5''' or '''Right#1''' through '''Right#5''' sub-tab described above.  The '''Text-Column Formatting – Left or Right#n '''form’s '''Column Headings''' control group contains the controls for '''formatting''' the '''Column Heading’s''' attributes for the '''text column''' including '''Font '''characteristics, '''Rotation''', '''Alignment''', and '''text column heading’s background color'''.  The '''Column Text '''control group controls the selection and '''formatting '''of the '''text''' that resides within the '''text column name label cells''' shown in the chart.  Because '''text column cells''' are associated with '''rows''', '''text column border''' management is at the '''row level''' and controlled in the '''Rows '''control group of the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.

===Additional Text Columns Sub-Control Groups===

In the '''Text Columns '''control group when the '''Display data from''' window contains a '''numeric''' or a '''date field''', the '''Text Columns '''control group is supplemented with an additional sub-control group depending on the type of '''data field''' placed in the '''Display data from''' window.  If the '''Display data from '''window contains a '''numeric type field''', the '''Text Columns '''control group looks like this:

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(7-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(7-1)-06082025.png</center>-->

If the '''Display data from '''window contains a '''date type field''', the '''Text Columns '''control group looks  like this:

<center>[[File:P80-21_2_1-8-(8-1)-06082025.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P80-21_2_1-8-(8-1)-06082025.png</center>-->
