==Hiding and Unhiding Task/Milestone Labels==

1) You can hide one or more of the task/milestone '''labels'''. 

:a) To do this, make a selection in the Project View Editor ('''PVE''') by right-clicking one or more tasks/milestones. 

:b) Click the “Format…” command then navigate to the '''Task Labels''' tab as shown below: 

<center> [[File:P52-9_3-(1)-06012015.png]]</center>

:c) Uncheck the '''Show marker label''' checkbox, shown above, to hide the selected task/milestone’s '''label text'''.

2) Alternatively, you can click the '''hide label''' icon as shown below to hide the '''label text''' for the selected task/milestone.

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(2)-06012015.png]]</center>

3) If you have previously hidden the '''label text''' of any tasks or milestones, you can make them visible again going back to the '''Task Labels''' tab of the '''Change Marker Properties''' form shown above and re-checking the '''Show marker label''' checkbox.   Or, you can click any '''label position icon''' in the '''Position''' group on the '''Home''' tab.

==Hiding and Unhiding Tasks/Milestones Bars and Symbols==

1) You can hide the entire task or milestone (not just the label). 

:a) To do this, select one or several tasks or milestones. Right-click the selection and then click the '''Hide''' command in the '''context menu''' shown below:

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(3)-06012015.png]]</center>

:b) When the operation is complete the project view looks like this:

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(4)-06012015.png]]</center>

2) When tasks and/or milestones with '''Task Links''' are '''hidden''' their associated '''Task Links''' are '''hidden''' as well.

3) If you have '''hidden''' some tasks/milestones and want to make them all visible again, go to the '''Home''' ribbon’s '''Editing''' group and click the '''Show/Hide''' dropdown menu.  Then, click the '''Show All Markers''' command as shown below:

<center>[[File:P61-9_3_1-61-(5)-10272017.png]]</center>
<!--center>P61-9_3_1-61-(5)-10272017.png</center-->

4) '''Unhiding''' tasks/milestones with '''Task Links''' '''unhides''' the '''Task Links''' if the project view is set up to '''show Task Links'''.

==Moving Tasks/Milestones to Different Rows==

1) A lot of the power of OnePager comes from its efficient handling of space in the '''graph area'''. To manage vertical space, it is often very useful to move tasks/milestones so that several of them occupy the same row. 

2) To do this, select one or multiple tasks or milestones. From here you can change row position assignments several ways:

===Drag with the Mouse===  

3) Drag tasks/milestones up or down to a new row position. Note that it is not possible to drag tasks/milestones left or right. This prohibition is to protect the integrity of the data received from the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel '''source plan''' that provided the task/milestone’s original '''Start''' and '''Finish dates'''.   

:a) To move any task/milestone from one row to another, first left-click the task/milestone to select it.

:b) With the left-click button held down, drag the selected task/milestone to the desired row as shown in the '''Before''' and '''After''' illustrations below:

<center>'''Before'''</center>

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(6)-06012015.png]]</center>
 
<center>'''After'''</center>

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(7)-06012015.png]]</center>

:c) You can select several tasks/milestones and drag them as a group to different rows.  The multiple task/milestones selected retain their relative positions when dragged up or down to different rows.

===Use the Arrow Keys===  

4) Move selected tasks/milestones to new rows by using your keyboard’s '''up/down arrow''' keys.  As noted above, you can move several tasks/milestones at once using this method.

==Changing the Representation of Tasks/Milestones==

1) Task bars can also be represented as milestone either at their '''start date''' or '''finish date'''. You can select the type of task representation globally (See the article at:  [[Managing Templates for Version 6.1 (Portal) | Managing Templates (Portal)]]) 24.0.1-61 or on an individual task/milestone basis. 

2)  An individual task bar can be changed to a milestone by right-clicking the task and selecting '''Task representation''' command as shown below:

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(8)-06012015.png]]</center>

3)  There are four (4) options available that can be applied to the selected task:

:(1) Selecting the '''Gantt bar''' option makes the selected task/milestone into a task bar.

:(2) Selecting the '''As milestone at finish''' option turns a selected task into a milestone positioned at the task’s '''finish date'''.

:(3) Selecting the '''As milestone at start''' option turns a selected task into a milestone positioned at the task’s '''start date'''.

:(4) Selecting the '''Use default''' option turns a selected task/milestone into the default type specified in the current '''Template Properties''' form in the '''Advanced''' Tab within the '''Task Representation''' group.

4)  You can also change representation on the '''Home''' tab by clicking the item called '''Representation'''.

<!--center>P61-9_3_1-61-(9)-10272017.png</center-->

5)  Changing the representation of a selected task/milestone or set of tasks/milestones creates what we refer to as '''representation maverick'''.

6)  If you wish to change the global task/milestone representation (as opposed to changing representations manually), please reference this article: [[Managing Templates for Version 6.1 (Portal) | Managing Templates (Portal)]] <!--24.0.1-61-->

7) To make  changes to a task/milestone '''representation''' use the following steps: 

:a) Open the '''PVP''' form and go to the '''Advanced''' tab as shown below:

<center>[[File:P61-9_3_1-61-(10A)-12052018.png]]</center>
<!--center>P61-9_3_1-61-(10A)-12052018.png</center-->

:b) Individual task/milestone settings are overridden by the '''Task/Milestone threshold''' setting. This setting automatically converts short-duration tasks into milestones for easier reading. 

:c) The default value for this setting is '''2 days'''. This means that any task which have less than '''2 days''' duration on the screen automatically is rendered as a milestone. To reduce this effect, increase the number (e.g. to 5 days).

==Resizing the Height of Tasks/Milestones ==

OnePager provides the capability to change the '''height''' of a task/milestone by first selecting it and then dragging the '''grab box''' at the top or bottom of the selection task/milestone, as shown below. 

1)  When the '''height''' is increased, both the top and bottom of the task or milestone expand. Conversely both the top and bottom of the task/milestone contract when you reduce the task/milestone’s '''height''':

<center>[[File:P61-9_3_1-61-(11)-10272017.png]]</center>
<!--center>P61-9_3_1-61-(11)-10272017.png</center-->

2) If you prefer to set a fixed '''height''' for a task or milestone instead of dragging it, right-click the task or milestone and choose the '''Format….''' command. This shows the '''Change Marker Properties''' form, where you have the option to adjust the '''Height''' control:

<center>[[File:P52-9_3-(12)-06012015.png]]</center>

:a) The '''Height''' controls allow you to select whether you want the selected task/milestone’s '''height''' to be a percentage of the row '''height''' (recommended) or if you want the task/milestone’s '''height''' to be in terms of absolute '''height''' in '''inches''' or''' centimeters'''.  

:b) The quantity in parentheses, ('''row height = 0.38''') tells you the current '''height''' of the row that contains the task/milestone.

3)  Changing the '''height''' of an individual task/milestone creates a '''height maverick'''.

4)  If you wish to change the global task/milestone height (as opposed to making '''height mavericks'''), please reference this article: [[Managing Templates for Version 6.1 (Portal) | Managing Templates (Portal)]] <!--24.0.1-61-->
