Chart Name The name of the file you assign to the chart through Microsoft Windows.

Chart Properties form The form that supports your ability to edit the chart at the level of rows/swimlanes, task bars and milestone symbols, the legend, multi-page output, headers and footers, comment boxes, task links, and advanced features.

Chart Title The name given to occupy the title area of the chart

Clip task/milestone labels at graph edges When this checkbox is checked ON in either the Advanced tab of the Chart Properties form or Template Properties form, OnePager clips the task/milestone label on the left if rows/swimlanes are displayed and on the right if the task/milestone labels extend beyond the right edge of the graph area.

Clutter Reduction The process using Task Link Filtering to reduce the number of Data-Driven Task Links being shown in the chart or snapshot so as to focus attention on those Data-Driven Task Links that best contribute to supporting a schedule conversation.

Column A vertical representation of data or rule components appearing in a OnePager form, grid, or chart.

Comment Box A text filled box attached via a connector to a task bar/milestone symbol. This box can be edited or can be dragged to a new position by clicking it with a mouse. As a task bar/milestone symbol moves during a snapshot change, the task bar/milestone symbol's attached comment boxes move with it.

Conditional Formatting Rules A set of rules managed by the Conditional Formatting Rules engine that allows you to specify conditions which, when met, alters the chart for task bar/milestone symbol, color, fill, font, and borders. Conditional Formatting Rules are managed by the Conditional Formatting Rules form accessible from the Task or Milestones tab of the Chart Properties form or the Template Properties form.

Conditional Import Filters Rules A set of rules managed by the Conditional Import Filters rules engine that allows you to specify the conditions which, when met in either the Microsoft Project or Excel source plan, controls the source plan rows that are imported into OnePager for the creation or update of a chart. Conditional Import Filters rules are managed by the Conditional Import Rules form accessible from the OnePager Choices form or the Main tab of the Chart Properties form or the Template Properties form.

Copy The Copy button on the Home tab ribbon provides three options for copying the chart to the Windows clipboard. These options are

  • Copy the entire chart as one image,
  • Copy the last (or current) page only, and
  • Copy a specific numbered page.

Copy edits to all snapshots (CTAS) Checkbox This checkbox is checked ON or OFF in the Advanced tabs of the Chart Properties and Template Properties forms. Its function is to turn ON and OFF the propagation of Maverick changes to task bars/milestone symbols to all snapshots (turned ON) or to keep Maverick changes to task bars/milestone symbols in the snapshot in which they were created (turned OFF).

Critical Path A small optional horizontal bar that appears inside and at the top of a task bar, indicating that the extent portion within the Gantt bar is on the critical path. OnePager does not compute the critical path; OnePager displays the critical path extent that is imported from Microsoft Project. OPX does not support the display of critical path information.

Daily CurtainsCurtains shown in the chart that are associated with days of the week. The controls for Daily Curtains allow the user to show/hide days of the week and to display one-day-wide colored curtains in the chart representing that day. Daily Curtains have controls for transparency and simple border controls. Daily Curtains are snapshot-independent.

Daisy Chain Task Links A series of three or more selected task bars that are connected by a Manually Created Task Link. Daisy Chain Task Links are created by sequentially selecting three or more task bars with a CTL+LEFT-CLICK and then clicking the Task Links button on the OnePager Insert tool bar.

Data-Driven Task Links A Task Link available to OnePager for showing or editing in the chart which was imported from a Microsoft Project, Microsoft Excel, or Primavera P6 source plan. Data-Driven Task Links can be shown or hidden in the chart/snapshot and can be edited globally or individually in the chart.

Date Boundaries – On a chart these dates are inclusive of Start Date to Finish Date.

Date Formats The organization of day, month, year into a single element for the purpose of representing Date Labels within OnePager. For example, 3-Feb-2019 and February 3, 2019 are two of many formats supported by OnePager and are consistent with date formats supported by Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel.

Date Label The optional addition of date information imported from Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel to a task bar/milestone symbol name.

Deadline An optional symbol that designates a do not go beyond date in a chart as imported from Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel.

Decorations Decorations include the following data driven elements associated with a task bar/milestone symbol:

  • Date labels
  • Percent complete
  • Baselines
  • Critical path
  • Deadlines
  • Endpoints

Default Task Link Formatting The process of restoring the default properties of Task Links through the use of the Use Show/Hide Defaults button in the Task Link Properties form, where the software un-mavericks the results of applied Task Link Filter rules or un-mavericks results of show all actions depending on the user’s original selection.

Dependency Types The allowable relationship options between task bars connected by Task Links which include the following types: (1) Finish-to-Finish (FF), (2) Finish-to-Start (FS), (3) Start-to-Start (SS), and (4) Start-to-Finish (SF).

Docked Means that the Legend is placed in one of the sixteen (16) positions on the edges and corners of the graph (8 positions) or on the edges and corners of the page (8 positions).

Document Area The entirety of the OnePager document with a specified page width and height and containing the graph area as shown below:

P70-28 0 1-70-(2)-12032020.png

Document Scaling Computed as a function of page fit by OnePager or provided by you. When a document is fit to x by y pages, it is scaled to a percentage of its actual size to fit on a specified number of pages. When you select Automatic X Automatic mode, OnePager computes the output page configuration based on how much you choose to scale the document before putting it onto the pages.

Document Size This is the overall size of the document, irrespective of page count. The document size can be altered as a result of your actions, for example, by adding rows, swimlanes, or changing the height of various adornments.

Escape Paths The actions that OnePager 7.0 automatically takes when the software detects task bar name collision situation or when you trigger the task bar name collision re-optimizing function manually.

ECF Enterprise Custom Field

EMF Enhanced Meta File (a Microsoft vector graphics format)

Endpoints Up to four optional symbols that can be designated in a chart as imported from Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel. Endpoints are typically used to display very important dates within the extent of a task.

Field A vertical representation of source plan data originating from either a Microsoft Project or Excel source plan and imported into OnePager for preparation of a chart.

Field Mapping The use of a source plan field for a particular OnePager purpose. There are more than 25 OnePager purposes from Baseline Finish Date to Unique task/milestone identifier.

Filter Link Conditions The relationships specified by the user in a Task Link Filter rule that determines if the Data-Driven Task Links are shown or hidden in the current snapshot of the chart.

Filter Links A control group in the Template Properties and Chart Properties form’s Task Link tab that provides the user with the option to Show All task links imported or to use Filtering Rules to control the show/hide status of task links.

Floating Time Axis A copy of any of the three Time Axis Levels that can float in the middle of the chart. Floating Time Axes are not anchored to the top or bottom of the graph. The properties of a Floating Time Axis Level and its Cells are identical to the corresponding Time Axis Level and its Cells. Floating Time Axis Levels and Cells can be selected and edited and any changes are also reflected in corresponding Time Axis Levels and Cells. Floating Time Axes are snapshot-independent.

Floating Time Axis Cell See Time Axis Cell.

Floating Time Axis Level See Time Axis Level.

Free Floating box a free floating text comment box that is not attached to any task bar or milestone symbol.

Free-floating When the Legend is not docked or anchored, the Legend is free-floating for single and multi-page outputs.

From/To Dates The dates used to define and/or edit the range of any curtain in the chart.

Gantt Bar The task that represents a period of work over a segment of time.

Graph Graphical screen that displays the chart. This screen contains the time cursor, task bars/milestone symbols and all task bar/milestone symbol decorations.

Graph Area or the graph The portion of the OnePager document that contains the task bars and milestone symbols. See Document Area above where the Graphic Area is in the green rectangle.

Honor Non-Working Times The Honor Non-Working Time feature is an advanced feature provided in OnePager Pro so that you can accurately display %Complete bars in your charts that match the %Complete bars in Microsoft Project’s Gantt Charts when you configure the Microsoft Project Calendar with appropriate Working and Non-Working Time. Specifying precise Working Hours and Non-Working Hours has an impact on how OnePager Pro expresses Percent Complete (%Complete) when you decide to Honor non-working time in the calculations.

Horizontal Anchor Position for Manual Task Links Only Manually controlled property of manual Task Links where the user can change the Dependency Type (e.g., FS, FF, SS, and SF), and control the position of the Begin shape on the predecessor task bar and the End shape on successor task bar with slider bars.

Horizontal Page Break A page break set by you or calculated by OnePager that divides the document into pages running left and right. The lines showing horizontal page breaks are vertical.

Hover Box A small, semi-transparent box that appears when you let the mouse cursor hover over a task bar/milestone symbol. The hover box displays the task bar/milestone symbol’s short description, its start date, end date and unique task identifier. This is very useful for Gantt bars that are so short that it is difficult to read the text inside. The unique task identifier is the best way to trace a task bar/milestone symbol back to its data in the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel plan. The hover box is activated by a checkbox on the 'View tab of the OnePager ribbon.

Import predecessors Checkbox in the Template Properties form’s Task Links tab with a default setting of unchecked or OFF that, when checked ON in the Template Properties form tells OnePager Pro or Express to import all Data-Driven Task Link information from the source plan.

Imported Task Links Task links data taken from the user’s source plan that become Data-Driven Task Link information available for processing by OnePager Pro or Express.

Manage Custom Date Formats form – This form provides a list of all Custom Date Formats defined for the chart or within the Template Properties forms that are available. From this form, the user can add new Custom Date Formats or delete existing Custom Date Formats selected from the form’s Date Format list.

Manual Editing of Task Links All Task Links shown in the chart can be selected and manually edited. The edits include using the right-click to access the task link right-click context menu to select appropriate Task Link editing commands and accessing and using the Task Link Properties form to maverick one or all of the properties of the selected Task Link.

Manual Editing with Drag and Drop Selected Task Links display a number of handlebars (i.e., yellow or green circles) that can be used to drag and drop the dependency line segment in the chart. There handlebars are placed at several points on the dependency line: (1) at the Begin shape, (2) at the End shape, and (3) on vertical/horizontal segments of the dependency line depending on how OnePager routes the line between the predecessor and successor task bars.

Manual Task Link Formerly called Event Links in previous OnePager Pro and Express versions. These Task Links are manually inserted into charts by the user who identifies the predecessor and successor task bars that have task relationship dependencies. The user has control over the definition of the manual Task Link dependency type (i.e., FS, FF, SS, and SF), its connecting line properties, arrowhead shapes, line corner sizes, anchor points, and any associated text.

Manual Task Link Daisy Chains A series of manual Task Links, created by selecting a single predecessor and multiple successors and creating all of the links simultaneously. Properties are defined with the standard set of Task Link properties.

Manually Created Task Links (aka Even Links) A Task Link manually created in the chart by the user after the chart is created. Manually Created Task Links can be shown or hidden in the chart/snapshot and can be edited globally or individually in the chart.

Master Switch for Data-Driven Task Links The Import predecessors checkbox in the OnePager Pro and Express Template Properties form’s Task Links tab that controls whether OnePager imports or does not import all Data-Driven Task Links when a chart is created. The default value for these checkboxes is unchecked or OFF.

Maverick Data-Driven Task Link Any Data-Driven Task Link that has one or more property altered by the user from those properties either imported or defined in the Chart Properties form’s Task Links tab.

Maverick Task/Milestone A task bar/milestone symbol is said to be turned into a Maverick if the task bar/milestone symbol has one or more of its default properties manually changed (e.g. changing the color of a task to green, when the default or data computer assigned color is red). There are a total of eight (8) properties of task bar/milestone symbols that can become mavericks.

Multi-Page Chart A chart that is divided into more than one page where you are setting appropriate page breaks or OnePager is setting page breaks depending on the number of horizontal and vertical pages you determine necessary.

Multiple Swimlanes OnePager Pro and Express supports three (3) levels of swimlanes in the chart. Multiple swimlane definition is supported in the Template Properties and Chart Properties form's Rows/Swimlanes tab.

No Fill A checkbox option in all OnePager standard Color Chooser forms that allows you to eliminate the color inside the selected objects such as: (1) Task bars/milestone sumbols, (2) Comment boxes, (3) Free boxes, and (4) Curtains.

Non-Linear Time Axis A representation of a Time Axis Level where the Time Axis Cells are not of uniform width as determined by manual editing. Non-Linear Time Axes are snapshot-independent.

Related Links A section is almost every Wiki Article that provides clickable hyperlinks to other articles that provide additional or more in-depth information on the subject article.

Repeat on all pages A checkbox in various tabs of the Chart Properties and Template Properties form that tells OnePager that a repeatable adornment such as the legend, title, text columns, swimlane labels, time axes, headers, and footers are to be repeated on all output pages created in multi-page mode.

Row A horizontal lane that holds task bars/milestone symbols in the graph. Rows can be used to distinguish among different task bar/milestone symbol groups; different functional groups, etc. Rows can be collected into swimlanes.

Row Label See Text Columns.

Row Stripes A pattern, generated under your control, for creating an alternate colored of background colors in adjacent rows starting at the bottom and continuing to the top row. The row stripes include the row labels if row labels are visible.

Show Data-Driven Links Checkbox in the Chart Properties form’s Task Links tab for OnePager Express with a default setting of unchecked (OFF) that when checked ON in the Chart Properties form tells OnePager Express to go out to the chart’s Microsoft Excel source plan(s) and import all Data-Driven Task Links and show them in the chart.

Show Non-Working Hours Checkbox A checkbox for controlling the display of Non-Working Hour Curtains. Checking this checkbox ON displays any defined Non-Working Hour Curtains. Unchecking this checkbox (OFF) hides any defined Non-Working Hour Curtains. The Show Non-Working Hours checkbox is snapshot-independent.

Show/Hide Status of Task Links A property of manual and Data-Driven Task Links that indicates whether they are presently being displayed in the current snapshot of the chart, or if they are hidden from view. The user has total control over this property.

Smart Labeling for Tasks/Milestone Shape Labels A new feature in OnePager Pro and Express that automatically resolves situations where task bar/milestone symbol labels collide or overlay other graphics in the chart. You have four (4) options available to control the priority of the collision avoidance algorithms employed with this feature such as: (1) Wrapping label text, (2) defining Stairstep levels, (3) Truncating label text, and (4) Shrinking label text font size.

Snapshot A version of a set of task bars/milestone symbols of a project. Snapshots capture changes in task bars/milestone symbols over time. When a source plan changes, you create a new snapshot for the project and import the new start and finish dates for the task bars/milestone symbols that have changed.

Snapshot Date/Time The date and time on which a snapshot becomes effective for your project. This is equivalent to a reporting date/time.

Snapshot Dependent Means that the value, style, or format of an object (i.e., task bar or milestone symbol property) can change from one snapshot to another as the underlying project source plan data field changes. These fourteen (14) properties are snapshot-dependent:

(1) Start Date
(2) Finish Date
(3) Baseline Start
(4) Baseline Finish
(5) %Complete
(6) Critical-Path
(7) Deadline Date
(8) Endpoints
(9) Task Links
(10) Task/Milestone Color
(11) Task Bar/Milestone Symbol
(12) Task/Milestone Height %
(13) Task/Milestone Border
(14) Task/Milestone Label Properties

Snapshot Independent Means that an object (i.e., text column or swimlane level) does not change from one snapshot to another. Most properties of a OnePager objects are snapshot dependent, but properties like task names, task label positions, and row/swimlane configurations are snapshot independent, because they are the same across all snapshot.

  • Note that the rows and swimlanes themselves are snapshot independent.
  • Also, note there is no way to have a different set of rows and swimlanes on one snapshot than you have on all the other snapshots in OnePager.

Snapshot-Independence of Task Links The formatting of all Task Links is consistent across all snapshots in a chart, but whether a given Task Link is shown or hidden can vary from snapshot to snapshot.

Source Plan The Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel file used as the input to the creation or update of a chart. The source where OnePager Pro and Express obtain their imported data to support the creation or update of a chart.

Stairstep box A task bar/milestone symbol label name text filled box attached via a connector to a task bar/milestone symbol. The box appears similar to a Comment box but is represented only with a border at the bottom. This box can be edited or can be dragged to a new position by clicking it with a mouse. As a task bar/milestone symbol moves during a snapshot change, the task bar/milestone symbol's attached Stairstep box moves with it.

Successor Task The second or last member of a Task Link Relationship Type pair. See Task Link Relationship Types.

Swimlane A group of one or more contiguous rows. A Swimlane may contain a lower level swimlane. There are three (3) Swimlane Levels available in OnePager Pro and Express.

Swimlane Label The text area on the far left of swimlane containing text that can be imported from the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel source plan.

Swimlane Stripes A pattern, generated under your control, for creating an alternating colored of background colors in swimlanes. The swimlane stripes include the swimlane labels if swimlane labels are visible.

.TAM A file type for saving or sharing charts with other OnePager users.

.TAP A file type for saving or sharing color palettes with other OnePager users.

Task Link (aka Event Link) An editable connector showing that two task bars/milestone symbols are linked to each other. Typically this shows that one of task bars depends upon the other in some way. The Task Link can display text that describes the link and can be configured with respect to line thickness, color, and other properties. Task Links can be Data-Driven or individually manually created.

Task Link Connection Line Elbow The 90-degree bend in a Task Link Connection Line created by OnePager in the chart.

Task Link Connection Line Handlebars The highlighted locations on a selected Task Link Connection Line where the user can use the mouse to manipulate the Task Link Connection Line. There are three (3) Task Link Connection Line Handlebar locations: (1) Begin point on the Predecessor Task, (2) End point on the Successor Task, and (3) Middle point between the two previous points.

Task Link Connection Lines The graphically displayed lines in the chart that joins Predecessor task bars to Successor task bars. Task Link Connection Lines can be edited alone the length of the line and at the Predecessor Task and Successor Task attachment points.

Task Link Field The dropdown list that tells OnePager Express which field from the Microsoft Excel source plan(s) to use for importing Data-Driven Task Links.

Task Link Filter Rules form A form accessed in the Template Properties and Chart Properties form’s Task Links tab that provides the user with the capability to define rules to control the show/hide status of task links based upon the relationships between other imported data from the user’s source plan. The Task Link Filter Rules form permits the creation, editing, and deletion of rules in the Template Properties and the Chart Properties form.

Task Link Filtering The capability that allows the user to control the showing or hiding of Data-Driven Task Links in the chart based upon relationships between data elements contained in the user’s source plan.

Task Link Upgrade The features and modifications to the Event Links features of OnePager Pro and Express.

Task Link Vertical Attachment The point on a Predecessor task bar or Successor task bar where a Task Link Connection Line can be attached to the task bar. There are three (3) possible Task Link Vertical Attachment points: (1) Top of the task bar, (2) Middle of the task bar, and (3) Bottom of the task bar.

.TAT A file type for saving or sharing Template Properties forms with other OnePager users.

Template Properties The OnePager form that supports your ability to pre-establish chart properties at the level of rows/swimlanes, task bars and milestone symbols, the legend, multi-page output, headers and footers, comment boxes, task links, and advanced features. There are many Template Properties form sets distributed with OnePager and you can create new Template Properties forms by either editing an existing distributed Template Properties form or converting an edited' chart into a new Template Properties form.

Where Are My Links? form A form, similar to the Where’s My Stuff?! form, that lists all manual and Data-Driven Task Links in the current snapshot of the chart. The form provides an entry for each Task Link pair, their Unique ID or Task ID, their show/hide status, and the Task Link source either Manual or Imported. The form is used to locate Task Links, examine their defined properties, and can be used to show or hide selected Task Links.

Working Hours The daily time periods defined the Set Working Times form by using the Time Picker for each day of the week to set the Start working time and the Finish working time for that day. When Working Hours are set, the user then has the option to show or hide Non-Working Hour Curtains.

Zebra Stripes A common name for alternating colors applied to rows or swimlanes and their labels. See the Row Stripes and Swimlane Stripes definitions above.

Zoom % The name of a cell in the Format Date Ranges Grid or Date Range Curtain Grid that allows the user to change the amount of horizontal space in the chart used to display any Curtain’s From/To Dates. A Zoom % of 100 means that the amount of horizontal space is determined by the standard width set for the Bottom Time Axis Level. A Zoom % of 200 is double that Bottom Time Axis cell(s) width.
