Managing Graph Elements for Graphs in OnePager for Version 8.0
Introduction to Graph Elements for Graphs
Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro Add-in and Standalone using data from Microsoft Project, however, Graphs & Data Cells features, functions, controls, and editing apply equally to all OnePager Add-in and Standalone editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, Oracle Primavera P6, Planisware Enterprise, Asana, and Wrike. At present Microsoft Planner source plans do not provide time-series data that can be processed and displayed by the Graphs & Data Cells feature of OnePager.
This article and the articles linked from here describe OnePager’s Graphs & Data Cells feature which provides you with the capabilities to show graphs of time-series data (e.g., cost data) in graphic forms along with your Gantt/Timeline Charts. Additionally, the Graphs & Data Cells feature also provides you with the ability to show time-series data (e.g., cost data) imported from your source plan in tabular forms.
This article is an overview of the controls in the Graph Mode Graph Elements control group of the Chart Properties form’s Graphs & Data Cells tab as shown below:

The four controls are enabled by checking the corresponding control checkbox ON or disabled by clicking the corresponding checkbox OFF. By default, three of the controls Graph Elements control group checkboxes are checked ON where the only exception is the X-Axis Properties checkbox where the default is disabled.
Each of the four Graph Elements in the control group provides access to specialized forms accessed by clicking the labeled button next to the associated checkbox when enabled. Each of these forms is overviewed in the sections that follow.
Graph Elements Control Group for Graphs
Detailed descriptions on the use of the controls are provided in the articles linked at the end of each sub-section.
Y-Axis Properties Control
Clicking the Y-Axis Properties button accesses the Y-Axis Properties – Panel #1 form shown below. Each Graph mode Panel has its own individual Y-Axis Properties – Panel #n form supporting the active Panel. Accordingly, you have the capability to create a single Y-Axis in the Graph area for each of the three Graph Panels, if enabled, and appropriately configured. The Y-Axis properties selected for the Panel applies to all Series in the Panel so it is recommended that Series within a Panel have the same Y-Axis units.
The Y-Axis Properties – Panel #1 form is shown below:

The form has two control groups where the first provides controls for Titling the Panel’s Y-Axis and the second control group has four sets of controls for establishing Tic-Units, Tic-Formatting, Tic-Line Style settings, and Tic-Label Number Format properties.

X-Axis Properties Control
The X-Axis Properties controls in the Graph Elements control group are only enabled after a Horizontally Pivoted Column Graph is created. For all other options, the X-Axis Properties controls are disabled.
When enabled, clicking the X-Axis Properties button accesses the X-Axis Properties – Panel #1 form shown below. Each Graph mode Panel has its own individual X-Axis Properties – Panel #n form supporting the active Panel. Accordingly, you have the capability to create up to three differently configured X-Axes in the Graph area when all three Graph Panels are enabled and appropriately configured. The X-Axis Properties – Panel #1 form is shown below:

The form has three control groups where the first provides a control for Height of the Title and Label. The second control group has several controls for the Panel’s X-Axis title’s Properties. The third control group has two controls for managing the X-Axis label’s font properties and the Rotation of the label text in the Panel’s X-Axis.

Legend Properties Control
Clicking the Legend Properties button accesses the Graph Legend Properties – Panel #1 form shown below. Each Graph mode Panel has its own individual Graph Legend Properties – Panel #n form supporting the active Panel. Accordingly, you have the capability to create up to three differently configured Graph Legends in the Graph area when all three Graph Panels are enabled and appropriately configured. The Graph Legend Properties – Panel #1 form is shown below:

The form has four control groups where the first provides controls for the Panel’s Legend Size (Width and Height), the second control group manages the Panel’s Graph Legend Border properties, the third control group has controls for managing the Graph Legend Title properties, and the fourth control group has the control for the Graph Legend Item’s Font properties.
