Troubleshooting for Version 6.0 (Redraw, Re-Starting, Feedback, Log Reporting)

About Troubleshooting

This article provides some tips on troublshooting and resolving issues that might come up with OnePager.

Additionally, information is provided for obtaining support from Chronicle Graphics, Inc.

Removing Drawing Artifacts from the Project View Editor Screen

Occasionally the Project View Editor (PVE) screen will not completely redraw itself after you've made an edit or dragged tasks/milestones or rows or swimlanes around in the PVE.

There are two available ways to recover:

(1) Force the project view to redraw itself. Go to the PVE's View tab and click the Redraw button as shown below:

(2) Press Control-F5 key combination on your keyboard to redraw the screen. On some versions of Microsoft Windows pressing FN-F5 on the keyboard will cause the screen to redraw.

Restarting OnePager

Occasionally actions may put OnePager into an inconsistent internal state.

If this happens, you may see a series of error messages like the one below.

In many cases, OnePager recovers automatically from such errors, but sometimes it does not.

In these cases, you will receive a series of such error messages in fairly rapid succession.

1) First of all, we apologize for our internal error and would like to diagnose and fix it.

a) We would really appreciate it if you would click the Details> button in the error message to expand the basic error message form to that shown above.

b) Then, please cut and paste the detailed error description into an email and send to support@onepager.com.

c) If you can, please provide information in your email message about what steps you took before the error occurred.

d) This information will greatly help our correction effort and is greatly appreciated.

e) See the sub-section below titled: Sending the Application Log to Chronicle Graphics.

2) If you get more than one of these error messages in fairly rapid succession, it is probably best to reboot OnePager.

a) The way to do this is to close all OnePager windows and then close all Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel windows.

b) Closing and then reopening Microsoft Project or Excel has the effect of closing OnePager.
