Overview

Versions of OnePager Pro and Express prior to 6.0 required you to insert a field (i.e., flag fields) into your source plan that tells OnePager which rows to import. These flag fields for Microsoft Project or Excel source plans were typically fieldss named Flag1 through Flag20 for Microsoft Project and some other Boolean field for Microsoft Excel. OnePager Pro (OPP) used these flag fields to control the import of rows. In both OnePager Pro and Express (OPX) you may use Numeric fieldss or Boolean fieldss as long as the contents were 1’s to indicate Yes (bring in this row) or 0’s to indicate No (do not import this row).

The approach described above for controlling the import of Microsoft Project/Excel source plan rows is quite flexible. However, it required a modification to the source plan before import to OnePager so you can limit the rows presented in the resulting project view.

The articles in this Conditional Import series will explain how you can use Conditional Import to simplify the import of source plan data into OnePager and increase your flexibility when preparing project views to support project schedule conversations and presentations.
