Contents
Overview
The Getting Started (Portal) articles covered a few ways of creating and updating charts and snapshots. The article links in the next several sections that follow provide you with access to more detailed information and instructions on how to use OnePager for:
- Creating NEW charts
- OPENING existing charts
- ADDING snapshots
- REPLACING snapshots
- Using the Pull-Operation Feature
- Using the Conditional Import Rules feature
There are essentially six (6) workflows categories you can use. The Conditional Import Rules feature can be used on all these workflow categories. Of course, OnePager's flexibility allows you to innovate on your own. Clicking on any of the links in the next section accesses articles where you'll find flow diagrams and a step-by-step procedures on how to accomplish the workflows. At the end of this article are links to cautionary articles dealing with merging wrong source plan tasks during chart updates. It is recommended that these articles be reviewed.
The article links in the following sections use OnePager Pro to illustrate the basic workflows typically used to open existing charts, add snapshots to existing charts, and replacing snapshots in existing charts. The Basic Workflows covered in these articles apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Oracle Primavera P6, and Smartsheet.

Using the Pull Operation Feature
Using the OnePager Conditional Import Rules Feature
The Conditional Import Rules feature gives you the capability to specify a set of rules for OnePager to use to control the data imported from your source plans at the time OnePager is launched. The Conditional Import Rules feature is easy to use and is an alternative to the process of establishing a Flag field to control source plan task/milestone imports. Further, the Conditional Import Rules can be changed at any time without the need to make a change to your source plan. This means that you have to option to create different charts from the same source plan by merely making alterations to the Conditional Import Rules.
For more information on Conditional Import Rules, please see the articles at: Conditional Import Filters (Portal)
The Conditional Import Rules feature can be used with OnePager Pro, OnePager Express, and OnePager Bundle for all source plan types.
