| | | | |
| − | 1) On occasion '''swimlane level cell labels''' and '''text column cell labels''' may contain '''text strings''' or '''values''' that are too '''wide''' to clearly fit in the '''horizontal space''' available.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2) The may happen because the '''Template Properties''' form being used has established '''swimlane cell''' and '''text column cell widths''' that are too narrow.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3) More common, is the occurrence where '''source plan data fields imported''' into OnePager contain information that does not fit in the '''horizontal space''' available.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4) Where these occurrences are know prior to creating a OnePager chart, you have the option in the '''Template Properties''' form to set the '''widths''' of '''swimlane cells''' and '''text column cells''' before a chart is created.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 5) Additionally, once a chart is created, there are controls in the '''Chart Properties''' form for '''globally''' adjusting the '''widths''' of '''swimlane cells''' and '''text column cells''' after chart creation.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 6) Finally, there are manual '''editing''' techniques available to adjust these same '''swimlane cells''' and '''text column cells widths''' using your mouse in the '''Chart Editor'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 7) This article covers the '''global''' adjustment of '''swimlane cells''' and '''text column cells widths''' using the controls in the '''Chart Properties''' form. Since the controls in the '''Template Properties''' form are exactly the same as those in the '''Chart Properties''' form, only the controls in the '''Chart Properties''' form are discussed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 8) This article also covers how to adjust the '''widths''' of '''swimlane cells''' and '''text column cells''' in the '''Chart Editor'''.
| |

| |
| − | ===Globally Adjusting Text Columns or Swimlane Levels===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1) The '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab's '''Swimlanes''' and '''Text Columns''' control groups have identical '''dial window''' controls for adjusting '''swimlane cells''' and '''text column cells widths''' as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(1)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(1)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Text Column Width Adjustment in the Chart Properties Form====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2) Additionally, for your convenience, there is an identical '''text column cell width dial window''' provided in the '''Text-Column Formatting - Left#n''' form for each of the five (5) '''text columns''' as shown below for the '''Left#3 text column''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(2)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(2)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3) This control is useful when working with the '''Text-Column Formatting - Left#n''' form where it might not be convenient to revert back to the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Swimlane Label Width Adjustment in the Chart Properties Form====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4) Again, for your convenience, there is an identical '''swimlane level cell width dial window''' provided in the '''Swimlane Formatting - Left#n''' form for each of the three (3) '''swimlane levels''' as shown below for the '''Left#3 text column''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(3)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(3)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 5) Inn a fashion identical to the control in the '''Text-Column Formatting - Left#n''' form, this control is useful when working with the '''Swimlane Formatting - Left#n''' form where it might not be convenient to revert back to the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Examples===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 6) The chart below is configured with each '''swimlane level cell''' and each '''text column cell''' set to '''width 0.95''' to show how their contents look in a narrow '''horizontal space''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(4)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(4)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 7) In the illustration above, two of the '''swimlane levels''' and the single '''text column''' appear to have crowded '''labels'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Changing Swimlane Level Cell Widths - Example====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 8) This can be remedied in the '''Chart Properties''' form for the '''Left#2 and Left#3 swimlane level cells''' by using the '''Width dial window''' to increase the value to '''1.50''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(5)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(5)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 9) In a similar manner the '''width of the Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are increased from 0.95 to 1.50 as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(6)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(6)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Changing Text Column Widths - Example====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 9) Changing the crowded condition of the '''Left#3 text column cells''' follows similar steps involving the '''Width dial window''' found in the '''Text Columns''' controls group as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-12_8_1-(7)-7082020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-12_8_1-(7)-7082020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 10) The illustration above show that it was necessary to increase all the '''Left#3 text column cells''' because the contents of the '''source plan's Name field''' for each '''imported''' task required more '''horizontal space''' so the '''width''' was increased to '''3.00'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 11) The same results can be achieve if, in each of the examples above, the '''Text-Column Formatting - Left#n''' form or the '''Swimlanes Formatting - Left#n''' form is used and their respective '''Width dial window''' values are changed.

| − | ==Resizing Text Columns and Swimlane Labels==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1) If you need more space for the text in your '''text columns''' or '''swimlane labels''', you can '''resize''' them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2) Hover your mouse over the vertical edge of the '''text column''' or '''swimlane label''' and left click to drag it to the left or right:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P61-12_8_1-61-(1)-11022017.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P61-12_8_1-61-(1)-11022017.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3) As you '''resize''' the '''label width''', the size of your overall OnePager document is adjusted accordingly.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4) '''Note''' There can be an impact on the output formatting for '''multi-page''' charts.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Resizing with Multiple Text Columns==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1) When you have multiple '''text columns''' showing in the chart, you can resize them individually by using the procedure specified above.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :a) The '''right border''' of the '''text column''' is used to '''resize''' the width of the '''text column''' to its immediate left.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :b) Grabbing the '''text column's''' vertical right border and dragging the mouse to the left or right '''resizes''' only that '''text column'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :c) Any '''text columns''' to the right of the one being '''resized''' is simply moved intact to the right to accommodate the '''resized text column'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2) The following shows how '''text columns''', for example, can be widened to accommodate the text.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :a) Here is a chart where the '''text column''' called '''Finish''' has insufficient width to display all the dates correctly:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P61-12_8_1-61-(1AA)-11022017.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P61-12_8_1-61-(1AA)-11022017.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :b) By using the mouse left click on the right most border of the '''Finish text column''' and moving to the right we can widen the it to make room for the entire date as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P61-12_8_1-61-(1BB)-11022017.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P61-12_8_1-61-(1BB)-11022017.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Automatic Resizing of Swimlanes Labels and Text Columns==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 1) You can automatically resize the width of a '''swimlane label''' or '''text column''' by positioning the cursor on the right border of the '''swimlane label''' or '''text column''' and performing a double left-click when the '''double arrow''' cursor symbol appears.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 2) Suppose we have the chart shown below where the '''swimlane label''' text and '''text column''' text are wrapped and you want to resize these columns so that the text fits without changing the text '''font''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P61-12_8_1-61-(2AA)-11022017.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P61-12_8_1-61-(2AA)-11022017.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Automatically Resize Swimlane Label===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 3) To automatically resize the '''swimlane label''', place the cursor on the right border of the swimlane as shown below and double left-click when the '''double arrow''' cursor symbol is displayed:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P61-12_8_1-61-(3)-10022017.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P61-12_8_1-61-(3)-10022017.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Automatically Resize An Text Column===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | 4) In a similar way, you can resize any additional '''text columns''' by placing the cursor on its right border as shown below and double left-click when the '''double arrow''' cursor symbol is displayed:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P61-12_8_1-61-(4)-11022017.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P61-12_8_1-61-(4)-11022017.png</center>
