View source for Task Bars Tab for Version 7.2

==About the Task Bars Tab for OnePager==

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,  Oracle Primavera P6, Project for the Web, Planisware Enterprise, Asana, and Wrike.

The '''Task Bars''' tab page, shown below, lets you control the '''style and decoration''' of task bars.  Additionally, within this tab are the controls for creating and managing '''conditional formatting rules'''.

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(1)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(1)-08212023.png</center>-->

The '''Task Bars''' tab in the '''Chart Properties''' form is the same as the '''Task Bars''' tab in the '''Template Properties''' form.  Additionally, it is possible to make '''edits''' in the '''Task Bars''' tab and have these '''edits mirrored''' in the '''Milestones''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form and vice versa.  

For more information on '''Mirrored controls''', please see the article at:

==Default Task Bar Styles Control Group==

Collected in the '''Default Task Bar Styles''' sub-control group are all the controls associated with defining or changing the properties of '''task bars properties'''. These controls include:

===Shape===

The dropdown menu shows a lengthy variety of '''task bar shapes''' available for use as shown here: 

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(2)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(2)-08212023.png</center>-->

===Fill - Gradient and Hash Fill Patterns for Version 7.2===

In addition to the '''gradient fill patterns''' previously available for differentiating '''task bars/ milestone symbols''', we added a set of twenty-six (26) '''hash fill patterns''' that can be used as described above.  The '''gradient fill patterns''' are shown below as an example at the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Task Bars '''tab’s '''Fill dropdown''' in the '''Default Task Bar Styles '''sub-section:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(2A)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(2A)-08212023.png</center>-->

When you click the '''Hash Patterns''' sub-tab shown above, the dropdown form containing all the available '''hash fill patterns '''as shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(2B)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(2B)-08212023.png</center>-->

===Sample Chart Using Gradients, Hash Fill Patterns, Dynamic Shapes and Emoji Symbols===

The OnePager chart below is modified in the '''Chart Editor''' to include different '''gradient '''and '''hash fill patterns''' as well as some different '''dynamic shapes''' and '''emoji symbols''':

<center>[[File:P71-0_4-71-(5)-08092021.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P71-0_4-71-(5)-08092021.png</center>-->

===Task Bar Transparency===

Starting with Version 7.2 of OnePager you can '''globally control''' the '''transparency''' of all task bars/milestone symbols showing in the chart using the '''Transparency''' control located in the '''Default Task Bar Styles''' control group of the '''Task Bars''' and '''Milestones''' tabs of the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' forms as shown below for the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Task Bars''' tab:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5A-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5A-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

As an example, suppose the OnePager Chart shown below has a current Transparency value for task bars/milestone symbols of zero (0) percent as shown in part below:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5B)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5B)-08212023.png</center>-->

Changing the '''Transparency value''' to '''50%''' using the controls in the '''Task Bars''' tab is shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5C-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5C-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

When you click OK or Apply on the Chart Properties form, the task bars/milestone symbols in the chart look like this:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5D)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5D)-08212023.png</center>-->

For the purpose of illustration, if we further increase the Transparency value to 100% the portion of the chart in the example looks like this:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5E)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5E)-08212023.png</center>-->

For the purpose of managing the '''Transparency''' of individual task bars/milestone symbols, OnePager provides '''Transparency controls''' in the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form at the '''Format''' tab as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5F)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5F)-08212023.png</center>-->

|}
</center>

===Task Bar Drop Shadows===

Version 7.2 also introduces the '''Drop Shadow''' feature which provides you with an additional means to '''highlight''' task bars/milestones symbols, '''baselines''', '''deadlines''', and '''endpoints'''.  As with the '''Transparency controls''', the '''Drop Shadow controls''' are located in the '''Default Task Bar Styles''' control group of the '''Task Bars''' tabs of the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' forms as shown below for the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Task Bars''' tab:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5G)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5G)-08212023.png</center>-->

As an illustration the chart section below is using the '''default Drop Shadow''' selection shown in the '''Shadow Properties''' form above:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5H)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5H)-08212023.png</center>-->

The '''Shadow Properties''' form shown above provides the options for you to use '''preset drop shadows''' or to create your own '''custom drop shadows''' using the controls provided.

For more information on '''Drop Shadows''', please see the article at the link below:

<center>
{| class="wikitable"
| [[Drop Shadows for Task Bars and Milestone Symbols Version 7.2 | Drop Shadows for Task Bars and Milestone Symbols]] <!--10.21.1-72-->
|}
</center>

===Transparency and Drop Shadows===

'''Transparency values''' can be increased for a task bar/milestone symbol when '''drop shadows''' are shown in the chart as well.  When the '''transparency value''' for a task bar/milestone symbol is high the '''drop shadow''' is likely be seen through the task bar/milestone symbol as illustrated below:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5HA)-08302023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5HA)-08302023.png</center>-->

===Task Bar Height===

These two (2) radio buttons and their associated values allow you to set the '''task bar height''' as an absolute quantity ('''inches or centimeters''') or as a '''percentage of the row height''', which is shown in parentheses for reference as shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(4)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(4)-08212023.png</center>-->

===Border Controls===

In the upper right corner of the form, there are three (3) controls that allow you change (1) the '''color''' of '''task bar shape's border''', (2) the '''width of the border''' and (3) the '''border’s style''' as shown below with the '''Border Color''' dropdown clicked to access the standard '''Color Chooser''' form:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(5)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(5)-08212023.png</center>-->

Further, you have the capability to establish the '''border color''' to be the same as the '''task bar shape fill color''' which effectively makes the '''task bar shape border''' disappear.  Clicking the dropdown button on the '''Border Color''' control accesses the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form as shown in the above illustration.  The '''Border Width''' control allows you to set the value for the '''width''' of the '''task bar shape's border''' in '''inches or centimeters''' depending on the '''Template''' that was originally used to create the chart.

There are five (5) '''Border Styles''' to select from with the '''default style''' set at '''Solid''' as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(6)-08212023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(6)-08212023.png</center>-->

===Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Fill Color===

OnePager supports both '''foreground coloring''', that is, the selected '''color''' option you choose to represent the task bar and '''background coloring''' which can be used in conjunction with '''Hash fill  patterns''' now available with OnePager editions.  '''Foreground color''' and '''Background color''' controls for task bars/milestone symbols are discussed below.

====Foreground Color Controls Options for Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Fill Colors====

The '''Task Bar/Milestone Fill Color''' sub-control group provides two (2) options for assigning initial '''foreground colors''' to task bar shapes and is shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(7-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(7-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

You can specify a '''single foreground color''' for '''all task bar shapes''' via the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form when the '''Use on color:''' radio button is is checked '''ON'''.    More commonly, clicking the '''Color-code based on''' radio button allows you to select a field from your '''source plan''' to assign a data driven '''foreground color''' to each task bar.   

The '''data driven foreground color''' assignment is sometimes referred to as '''round-robin color'''.   OnePager goes in sequence through the '''color palette''' and assigns a new '''color''' when it finds a new distinct value in the data.   If it finds more distinct values than there are '''colors''' in the '''palette''', it starts over at the beginning of the '''palette''' and uses each '''color''' for a second data value, and so on.  Also note that the '''Color-code based on''' selects a single data field that applies to both task bars and milestone symbols as shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(8-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(8-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

This is one of the few places where task bars and milestone symbols are constrained to have the '''same default behavior'''.

====Background Color Controls for Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Hash Fill Pattern Colors====

When a '''Hash Fill Pattern''' is selected as the '''Fill Pattern''' for Task Bars, the '''Background Color''' dropdown is '''enabled'''.  The '''Background Color''' control allows you to select a different '''background color''' that shows behind the '''Hash Fill Pattern''' whose '''foreground color''' is determined by the '''radio button''' you selected for the '''Foreground Color''' discussed in the previous sub-section.  The '''enabled Background Color''' dropdown window looks like this when a '''Hash Fill Pattern''' is selected:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(8A-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(8A-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

When these setting are used to update the chart, it looks like this:

<center>[[File:P71-21_3_1-71-(8B)-12132021.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P71-21_3_1-71-(8B)-12132021.png</center>-->

===Mirror format settings between task bars and milestones===

This single checkbox sub-control is used so that you have the option to simply apply any '''property edits''' you make to task bars to milestone symbols without having to go to the '''Milestones''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form.  

It is recommended that you check the '''Mirror format settings between task bars and milestones''' checkbox '''ON''' before making any '''edits''' in the tab and click the '''Apply''' button on the '''Chart Properties''' form.  That way, OnePager applies the '''edits''' to both task bars and milestones symbols from the start.  '''Task bar''' and '''milestone symbol fill colors''' are always '''mirrored''' regardless of the '''Mirror...''' checkbox being checked '''ON''' or '''OFF'''.

When this checkbox is checked '''ON''', OnePager automatically makes any changes to '''Milestones properties''' that are made to '''Task Bar properties''' for all settings where a '''blue dot''' appears to the right of the setting as in the illustration below where the checkbox is checked '''ON''':

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(9-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(9-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

==Task Bar Decorations Control Group==

There are '''seven (7) decorations''' for task bars.  Each can be turned '''ON''' by checking the associated checkbox to the left of the control's label as shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(10-1)-03052024.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(10-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

Each of these '''decorations''' controls can be accessed by clicking the adjacent button as shown in the illustration above.   When any of the '''seven (7) decoration''' buttons are clicked, OnePager accesses a form with specific controls to '''manage the decorations''' for that '''decoration type'''. What follows is a description of each of the '''specific control forms''' associated with each of the '''seven (7) decoration types''':

===Task Bar Label Properties... Button and The Set Label Properties Form===  

Clicking '''Task Bar Label Properties...''' button accesses the '''Set Label Properties''' form shown below wherein the '''source plan''' field name for the task, '''task bar label font properties''', '''label positions''', and '''label text collision avoidance''' controls can be set as shown here:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(11-1)-09082023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(11-1)-09082023.png</center>-->

====Task Bar Name Field Selection====

The '''Set Label Properties''' form's '''Label field''' dropdown as shown below allows you to access the full list of '''source plan''' field names '''imported''' by OnePager and '''select''' from the dropdown the field name OnePager uses to provide a visible '''task label''' into the chart for each visible task bar/milestone symbol:

<center>[[File:P72-10_15_1-72-(3-1)-09082023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-10_15_1-72-(3-1)-09082023.png</center>-->

====Task Bar Label Font Properties====

Clicking the '''Label font''' dropdown button accesses the standard OnePager '''Font properties''' form as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-10_15_1-72-(4-1)-09082023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-10_15_1-72-(4-1)-09082023.png</center>-->

The standard '''Font properties''' form allows you to set the '''Label text's''' '''font type''', '''color''' using the standard '''Color Chooser''' form, the '''font size''' in pixels, and the '''Bold -''' ''Italics'' '''- [[Underline]]''' settings.

====Task Bar Label Position====

The '''default task bar label position''' is '''Best fit all directions''' as shown in the illustration below along with the other nine (9) available standard positions :

<center>[[File:P72-10_15_1-72-(5-1)-09082023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-10_15_1-72-(5-1)-09082023.png</center>-->

The '''default''' setting of '''Best fit all directions''' gives OnePager the flexibility to establish '''task bar/milestone symbol label positions''' that do not '''collide''' with other graphics in the chart.

One Pager's '''Text Label Collision Avoidance feature''', discussed in brief next, provides you with a set of rules you can employ to tell OnePager how to position '''task bar/milestone symbol text labels''' in the chart.

===Smart Labeling Settings===

As mentioned, OnePager has a '''Smart Labeling''' or the '''Text Label Collision Avoidance feature''' that attempts to avoid '''cluttered text labels''' appearing in the '''graph''' or at least to minimize the occurrences.  The controls available to you are shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-21_3_1-72-(15-1)-09082023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(15-1)-09082023.png</center>-->

The '''Enable smart labeling for task/milestone labeling''' checkbox '''enables''' the '''Smart Labeling''' controls when the checkbox is checked '''ON''' and '''disables''' the controls when the checkbox is checked '''OFF'''.  There are four (4) algorithm types available for you to '''enable/disable''', set a specific parameter, and establish an '''algorithm priority''' among the set of four.

====Wrap text up to====

The '''Wrap text up to (value) lines algorithm''' tells OnePager, depending on the '''priority''' established, to take the '''text label string''' and wrap it into a maximum of lines up to the value set in the parameter. The default is set to '''2 lines'''.

====Stair steps up to====

The '''Stair steps up to (value) levels algorithm''' tells OnePager, again depending on the '''priority''' establishes, to create a '''Comment box''' like structure that connects to the task bar/milestone symbol that holds the '''text label string'''.  The '''number of levels value''' is typically set to '''1''' meaning that the '''Stair step''' is positioned in the '''row''' immediately above the '''row''' containing the subject task bar/milestone symbol.  Higher '''number of level values''' increases the number of '''rows''' skipped in positioning the '''Stair step'''.

====Truncate text to====

The '''Truncate text to (value) characters algorithm''' tells OnePager to chop off an excessively long '''text label string''' up to and including the '''value number of characters''' and replace the '''truncated text label charters''' with the '''...''' character so the modified '''text label string''' fits in the selected position.  The '''value number of charters''' setting is set to '''20''' characters including the '''...''' character.

====Shrink font by up to====

The '''Shrink font by up to (value) percent algorithm''' tell OnePager to reduce the '''text label string's''' '''font size''' up to the '''percentage''' specified in the value until the reduced '''font size text label string''' fits in the selected position.

====Vertical and Horizontal Sensitivity Settings====

The '''Vertical''' and '''Horizontal sensitivity controls''' supporting the '''task bar name label collision algorithm''' is shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-9_7_1_1-72-(35)-09062023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-9_7_1_1-72-(35)-09062023.png</center>-->

The '''task bar name label collision algorithm''' operates by looking for '''task bar name labels''' that are close to one another and if too close or overlapping, the '''algorithm''' takes action following the '''priorities''' you set in the '''Set Label Properties''' form.  You can change how close OnePager looks for adjacent '''task bar name labels''' by making '''point adjustments''' to the '''Vertical''' and '''Horizontal''' controls provided in the above form.  As used here and elsewhere in OnePager, '''points''' are the '''unit of measure''' used on the standard OnePager '''Font properties''' form for the '''Size of text fonts''' as shown below:

<center>[[File:P72-9_7_1_1-72-(35A)-09062023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P72-9_7_1_1-72-(35A)-09062023.png</center>-->

The '''adjustments''' operate as follows:

:1)  To '''increase''' the '''sensitivity of the algorithm''' in either the '''vertical''' or '''horizontal directions increase''' the '''point value''' in the control in the '''positive direction'''.  '''Increasing''' the '''point value''', making the value a '''higher or more positive''' value '''increases the sensitivity''' of the '''algorithm''' causing OnePager to potentially '''find more collision situations''' and taking corrective action '''more frequently'''.

:2)  To '''decrease''' the '''sensitivity of the algorithm''' in either the '''vertical''' or '''horizontal directions decrease''' the '''point value''' in the control in the '''negative direction'''.  '''Decreasing''' the '''point value''', making the value a '''lower or more negative''' value '''decreases the sensitivity''' of the '''algorithm''' causing OnePager to potentially '''find fewer collision situations''' and taking corrective action '''less frequently'''.

Allowable values for the '''Vertical sensitivity''' and '''Horizontal sensitivity''' range from '''-100 points''' to '''+100 points'''.

<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(17-1)-03052024.png</center>-->

Only OnePager Pro and OnePager Bundle support the representation of '''critical path''' in the chart for Microsoft Project '''source plans'''.  OnePager Express does not support '''critical path''' for Microsoft Excel.  OnePager Bundle '''supports critical path''' for Microsoft Project '''source plans''' but '''do not support critical path''' for Microsoft Excel '''source plans'''.  OnePager Bundle for Oracle Primavera P6 '''XER formatted''' files '''supports critical path''' because the data are available from the Oracle Primavera P6 '''XER formatted''' file '''export'''.   However, OnePager Bundle for Oracle Primavera P6 '''XML formatted''' files does '''not support critical path''' because the data are not available from the Oracle Primavera P6 '''XML formatted''' file '''export'''.  OnePager Bundle for Smartsheet, Project for the Web, and Planisware Enterprise '''source plans supports critical path''' when the data are available in the '''exported source plan''' to OnePager Bundle '''Standalone'''.

<!--<center>P72-21_3_1-72-(18)-08212023.png</center>-->

OnePager Pro and OnePager Express '''support Baseline''' representations for Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel, respectively.  OnePager Bundle for Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel also '''supports Baseline''' representations in the chart.  OnePager Bundle '''supports Baseline''' representations for Oracle Primavera P6 '''XML formatted files only''' as Oracle Primavera P6 '''XER  formatted files''' '''do not export baseline''' data.  OnePager Bundle also '''supports Baseline''' representations for Smartsheet, Project for the Web, and Planisware Enterprise '''source plans'''.

====Baseline Dates Used to Visualize Changes Between Snapshots====

There are four (4) new '''virtual baseline dates''' added to the available list of date fields found in the OnePager '''Set baseline properties''' form's '''Baseline dates''' control group.  These four (4) '''virtual baseline dates''' are:

:* '''Previous Snapshot Start'''
:* '''First Snapshot Start'''
:* '''Previous Snapshot Finish'''
:* '''First Snapshot Finish'''

These four (4) '''virtual baseline dates''' support the new feature available to your for '''visualizing changes in start/finish dates''' between snapshots.

It also lets you set a special '''color''' to denote '''deadlines''' that have '''not''' been met.   Additionally, as with the '''Baseline Properties''' form described above, the  '''Set deadline properties''' form controls '''connecting lines''' for '''deadlines''' and the '''properties of deadline date display'''.

OnePager Bundle for Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel also '''supports Deadline''' representations in the chart.  OnePager Bundle '''supports Deadline''' representations for Oracle Primavera P6 '''XML''' and '''XER formatted files''' if the '''column''' is defined in the '''source plan''' and these '''columns''' are '''exported'''.  OnePager Bundle '''supports Deadline''' representations for Smartsheet, Project for the Web, Planisware Enterprise, Asana, and Wrike '''source plans''' if the '''column''' is defined in the '''source plan''' and '''exported'''.
