− | ==What Is Unlimited Field Mapping?==
| + | </center> |
| | | |
− | The '''Unlimited Field Mapping''' feature lets you use a '''source plan column''' that is not already available to you in the '''Chart Editor'''. The feature allows you to avoid going back to the '''Template Properties''' form to map additional columns for the specific '''purposes''' you need without having to recreate a new chart. Having to recreate a new chart is cumbersome and inefficient, especially if you already invested time '''editing''' the original chart before you realized that you needed another '''source plan''' column.
| + | =Welcome= |
| | | |
− | The '''Unlimited Field Mapping''' ('''UFM''') feature is a vastly more efficient way to bring additional '''source plan''' columns into the '''Chart Editor''' after you've created and '''edited''' your chart. With '''UFM''', the '''Chart Editor''' can access all '''source plan columns'''.
| + | Welcome to the '''OnePager Wiki'''. The purpose of this '''Wiki''' is to provide a complete reference on the features, functions, and use of OnePager project reporting software. The search box above is the fastest way to find what you are looking for. However, you can also browse articles based on the version of OnePager you are running: |
| | | |
− | '''Field Mapping''' is defined as the '''use''' of a '''source plan''' column for a particular OnePager '''purpose'''. There are more than twenty-five (25) OnePager '''purposes''' from '''Baseline Finish Date''' to '''Unique task bar/milestone symbol identifier'''. You can easily refer back to your '''source plan''' and access changed '''columns''' from the '''Chart Editor'''.

− | For example, you can populate a '''Text column''' in your Smartsheet '''source plan''' and then use that '''column''' to present data in a '''Text Column''' after the chart is first created. Further, OnePager gives you a more efficient way to change the '''field mapping''' for eight (8) of the most frequently used OnePager '''presentation purposes'''.
| + | ==OnePager Bundle, Pro, and Express Editions== |
| | | |
− | For more information on '''Field Mapping''', please see the '''Frequently Asked Questions topics''' at: [[https://www.onepager.com/support/faq-category.php?cid=19 Field Mapping]]
| + | There are three editions of OnePager: |
| | | |
− | ==The Field Mapping Tab==
| + | :* OnePager Bundle ('''OPB'''): Imports from Smartsheet, Oracle Primavera P6, Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Online, Microsoft Project Server, and Microsoft Excel |
| + | :* OnePager Pro ('''OPP'''): Imports from Microsoft Project, Microsoft Project Online, and Microsoft Project Server |
| + | :* OnePager Express ('''OPX'''): Imports from Microsoft Excel, and through Microsoft Excel can access data stored in other formats or platforms. |
| | | |
− | Since the '''Unlimited Field Mapping''' feature allows you to access '''all columns''' from Smartsheet '''source plans''' at any time in the life cycle of a chart, the '''Field Mappings '''tab no longer needs to map columns to '''extra purposes''' that are just carried along in case you need them.
| + | There are some differences between the three editions with respect to: |
| | | |
− | The '''Field Mapping''' tab focuses on common OnePager '''purposes''' that users can map to Smartsheet columns after a chart is created. Note, however, that other important OnePager '''purposes''' are on '''Rows/Swimlanes''', '''Task Bars, and Milestones''' tabs. Some purposes such as '''Task Name, Percent-Complete, and Critical Path '''appear both on the '''Field Mapping''' tab and on the '''Task Bars''' and '''Milestones''' tabs. For Smartsheet '''source plans''' there are eight (8) '''purposes''' named in the '''Field Mappings''' tab: (1) '''Percent-complete''', (2) '''Critical-path segments''', (3) '''Task label''', (4) '''Start date''', (5) '''Finish date''', (6) '''Baseline start date''', (7) '''Baseline finish date''', (8) '''Deadline date'''.
| + | :* Installing, Activating, and Deactivating |
| + | :* Importing data from different project management tools |
| + | :* Getting Started |
| + | :* Multi-Project reporting |
| + | :* Critical path reporting |
| + | :* Baseline dates reporting |
| + | :* Deadline date reporting |
| + | :* Endpoint date reporting |
| + | ;* Unique ID field usage |
| | | |
− | The '''Field Mappings''' tab for the '''Chart Properties''' form is shown below:
| + | As a convenience, where there are significant differences between the different editions, we’ve included edition-specific documentation to avoid confusion. |

| + | ==OnePager Add-in vs. Standalone (aka: Desktop) Products== |
− | <center>P71-21_19_1-71-(1)-12202021.png</center>
| + | |
| | | |
− | For more information on the '''Unlimited Column Mapping''' feature, please see the article at: [[Unlimited Field Mapping for OnePager 7.1 | Unlimited Field Mapping]] 7.19.1-71
| + | When working with Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel, OnePager Pro or OnePager Express can either be launched as an '''Add-in''', or can be launched outside of Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel using a '''Standalone Desktop Icon'''. |
| | | |
− | ===Special Considerations for the Task/Milestone Identity Mapping Feature===
| + | OnePager Bundle can be launched from Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel using the '''OnePager Bundle Add-in icon''' embedded in the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel application. |
| | | |
− | The '''Field Mappings''' tab shows the Smartsheet '''column''' currently being used for the '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' feature. In the '''Chart Properties''' form, the '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' is '''disabled''' but tells you which Smartsheet '''column''' is being used. The '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' column being used is specified in the '''Template Properties''' form to act as an alternate '''Unique ID''' column for OnePager '''UPDATE''' operations. You can change it to whatever column you want, but it is your responsibility to make sure that the chosen column has a '''unique value''' for each task you plan to '''import''' and display in OnePager. Having duplicate values in the '''Unique ID''' field causes task bars to be '''omitted''' and/or '''misidentified''' later on when you are doing '''updates''' of the chart.
| + | OnePager Bundle is also able to access Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel '''source plans''' after being launched from the OnePager Bundle '''Standalone Desktop Icon'''. |
| | | |
− | For Smartsheet '''source plans''' the convention is to use the '''SmartsheetTaskID''' column for this purpose. The '''SmartsheetTaskID''' column is a '''virtual''' column generated by OnePager when the Smartsheet '''source plan''' is '''imported'''. OnePager assures that each Smartsheet row entry has a unique value for '''SmartsheetTaskID. For this reason '''Template Properties''' forms distributed with OnePager for Smartsheet have the '''Unique Id''' control preset to '''SmartsheetTaskID'''.
| + | OnePager Bundle accesses Smartsheet or Oracle Primavera P6 '''source plans''' using the OnePager Bundle '''Standalone Desktop Icon''', since neither Smartsheet or Oracle Primavera P6 supports '''Add-ins''' in the traditional sense. |
| | | |
− | ===Special Considerations for the Field Splitting Feature===
| + | Once launched, OnePager (any edition) functions in a very similar fashion, regardless of whether it was initially launched as an '''Add-in''' or '''Standalone'''. However, in cases where differences between the two launch methods do exist, we have included specific documentation of those differences. |
| | | |
− | OnePager continues to support '''Field Splitting''' with the control on the '''Field Mappings''' tab in the '''Template Properties''' form and '''Chart Properties''' forms. '''Field Splitting''' can be performed on any '''source plan string type''' field with '''comma-separated''' components imported before the chart is created. It cannot be changed once a chart is '''created''', though its value is shown in the '''Chart Properties''' form to remind you of the '''splitting''' that is active in the chart.
| + | (0.004-71) |
− | | + | |
− | ==Field Mappings==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | There are four (4) controls groups found on the '''Field Mappings''' tab.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ===Basic Mappings===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Within the '''Basic Mappings''' control group there are three (3) '''basic columns''' already established that can be remapped. You can use any Smartsheet column of the '''appropriate type''' corresponding to the '''Basic Mapping''' column named for the dropdown.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The dropdown list for the '''Task label''' column is shown in the example below:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <center>[[File:P71-21_19_1-71-(2)-12202021.png]]</center>
| + | |
− | <center>P71-21_19_1-71-(2)-12202021.png</center>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Selecting a different Smartsheet column from the dropdown list tells OnePager to go back to the Smartsheet '''source plan''', retrieve the data for that column, and use that data for the purpose of the chart. This re-acquisition of Smartsheet '''source plan data''' is done when you click '''Apply''' on the '''Chart Properties''' form which keeps the '''Chart Properties''' form visible or when you click '''OK''' which closes the '''Chart Properties''' form. The current chart is '''updated''' accordingly in the '''Chart Editor'''. The process for the other '''Basic Mapping''' columns for '''Critical-path segments''' and '''Task labels''' is the same as shown above for '''Percent complete'''.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ===Date Mappings===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | There are five (5) '''Date Mappings''' purposes in this control group that are available to be remapped. You can use any Microsoft Excel '''date''' field that can be accessed in the individual dropdown lists as shown in the example below:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | | + | |
− | <center>[[File:P71-21_19_1-71-(3)-12202021.png]]</center>
| + | |
− | <center>P71-21_19_1-71-(3)-12202021.png</center>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | As with the selections in the '''Basic Mappings''' control group, selecting a different Smartsheet columns from the dropdown list tells OnePager to go back to the Smartsheet '''source plan''', retrieve the data for that column, and use that data for the designated the OnePager '''purpose''' in the chart. This re-acquisition of Smartsheet '''source plan data''' is done when you click '''Apply''' on the '''Chart Properties''' form which keeps the '''Chart Properties''' form visible or when you click '''OK''' which closes the '''Chart Properties''' form. The current chart is '''updated''' accordingly in the '''Chart Editor'''.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ==Task/Milestone Identity Mapping==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ===Task/Milestone Identity Mapping for Smartsheet===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | In the '''Chart Properties''' form, this control group is informational. The control group is '''disabled''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form but the '''Unique Id''' window shows the setting previously or currently set in the '''Template Properties''' form’s '''Field Mappings''' tab. As such, the window is for information purposes only and cannot be changed.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The '''Task/Milestone Identity Mapping''' control group is shown below:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <center>[[File:P71-21_19_1-71-(4)-12202021.png]]</center>
| + | |
− | <center>P71-21_19_1-71-(4)-12202021.png</center>
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The '''SmartsheetTaskID''' column shows the Smartsheet column that OnePager used when it first '''created''' the chart. This feature is provided to assist '''advanced''' OnePager users '''update''' charts that were '''created''' from '''source plans''' where portions of one Smartsheet '''source plan''' were copied into another. When OnePager '''updates''' a chart, it needs to identify each task and milestone that is being '''imported''' and find out if it already exists in chart. This is how OnePager preserves the formatting of the task bars/milestone symbols and places them in the same row/swimlane where they resided before the '''update'''.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | You can control what values of '''SmartsheetTaskID''' appear in your Smartsheet '''source plan''' when you copy data into that '''source plan'''. As a result, Smartsheet '''source plans''' that had data copied into them can have problems preserving OnePager's formatting and row/swimlane positioning. To solve this problem, OnePager lets you define and use a substitute Smartsheet '''source plan column''' as an alternative '''Unique Id''' for uniquely identifying tasks. You are then responsible for guaranteeing that these column values are preserved when data is copied from one Smartsheet '''source plan''' to another. You are also responsible for making sure that there are '''no duplicate values''' in the field designated for this alternative '''Unique Id''' column usage.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The alternate '''SmartsheetTaskID''' can be set in one of two places:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | :1) In the '''Template Properties''' form's '''Field Mappings''' tab and
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | :2) In the '''OnePager Choices''' form's second page by clicking the '''Edit current template...''' button.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | We strongly recommend that you set the alternate '''SmartsheetTaskID''' in the '''Template Properties''' form rather than with the '''OnePager Choices''' form because this ensures that all charts use a consistent alternative '''SmartsheetTaskID''' column.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | ===Reset Unique Ids On Update===
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The '''Reset unique ids on update''' checkbox is '''disabled''' in the '''Advanced''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form and cannot be '''enabled'''. The '''disabled''' checkbox is provided in the form for consistency so that you see that it is there. This feature can be '''enabled''' as a last resort under the situation where you are attempting to '''merge''' Smartsheet '''source plans''' from different physical files into a single '''source plan''' where the Smartsheet '''SmartsheetTaskID's''' do not match.

− | | + | |
− | ==Field Splitting==
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | As with the control group discussed previously, the '''Field Splitting''' control group is '''disabled''' but shows the Microsoft Excel field currently set in the '''Template Properties''' form as the field participating in '''field splitting'''. As such, the window is for information purposes only and cannot be changed.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The '''Field Splitting '''control group is shown below:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | <center>[[File:X70-21_15_1-70-(5)-10232020.png]]</center>

| + | |
− | | + | |
− | The '''Field Splitting''' control group in the '''Field Mappings''' tab of the OnePager Express '''Chart Properties''' form works in the same way as it did in the '''Other Columns''' tab of previous versions.

As a convenience, where there are significant differences between the different editions, we’ve included edition-specific documentation to avoid confusion.
When working with Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel, OnePager Pro or OnePager Express can either be launched as an Add-in, or can be launched outside of Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel using a Standalone Desktop Icon.
OnePager Bundle can be launched from Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel using the OnePager Bundle Add-in icon embedded in the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel application.
Once launched, OnePager (any edition) functions in a very similar fashion, regardless of whether it was initially launched as an Add-in or Standalone. However, in cases where differences between the two launch methods do exist, we have included specific documentation of those differences.
