Overview

Illustrations used or referenced in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the features, function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Oracle Primavera P6, Smartsheet, Planisware Enterprise, Project for the Web, Asana, and Wrike.

OnePager's Ribbon Tool Bar Insert Tab

The OnePager Ribbon Tool Bar Insert tab is shown in detail below:

The Insert tab has three (3) sub-sections and a total of five (3) buttons that are discussed below:

Insert Tab – Annotations Sub-Section

The Annotations sub-section contains three (3) buttons for adding features to the created, opened, or updated OnePager chart. These three (3) Annotation buttons are discussed below:

Comment Box Button

The Comment Box button is enabled whenever a single task bar/milestone symbol is selected as Comment Boxes are only attached to task bars and/or milestone symbols. When enabled and the Comment Box button is clicked, OnePager accesses the Create or edit comment box form as shown below:

The form shows settings that are established by the current Template Properties form within its Comment Boxes tab. Using the controls in the Create or edit comment box form you can establish the properties of the Comment Box and when you click the OK button, the Comment Box is attached to the selected task bar or milestone symbol.

Curtain Button

The Curtain Button is always enabled and when clicked accesses the Curtain properties form as shown below:

Using the controls in the Curtain Properties form you can establish the extent and other properties of the desired Curtain. When you click the OK button, the Curtain with its defined properties is placed in the graph.

Task Link Button

The Task Link Button is used to insert manual Task Links between any two (2) task bar/milestone symbols in the chart. At least two (2) task bars or milestone symbols must first be selected in order for the Task Link button to be enabled as shown here:

When the enabled Task Link button is clicked, a manual Finish-to-Start (FS) Task Link is placed in the chart between the two (2) selected task bars as shown below:

Selecting more than two(2) task bars or milestone symbols and then clicking the enabled Task Link button creates a series of Finish-to-Start Task Links from the upper left of the chart to the lower right of the chart connecting the selected task bars and/or milestone symbols into a Daisy Chain of manual Task Links.

Insert Tab – Images Sub-Section

The Images sub-section contains only one (1) button – the Picture Button as shown here:

Picture Button

The Picture Button is always enabled and when clicked, OnePager accesses an Open picture file window where you have designated your pictures are stored as shown below:

Using the Open picture file window, select the desired image/picture and click Open. OnePager then places the select image/picture into the middle of the graph. At this point in the process you can select the image or picture by clicking on it and use available editing tools to move it around in the graph or resize it.

Insert Tab – Shapes Sub-Section

The Shapes sub-section contains only the Free Box Button as shown below:

Free Box Button

The Free Box Button is always enabled and when clicked OnePager changes the mouse cursor to a “Plus” sign in the graph as shown below:

With the mouse cursor in the “Plus” sign mode, position the cursor to where you want the upper left corner of the Free Box to be and hold down the left-click mouse button. Then drag the mouse to expand the point position of the mouse cursor into a square or rectangle as shown here:

When you release the left-click mouse button the Free Box’s position and size in the graph is established as shown below:

From this position, the Free Box can be selected, moved to any position in the chart, resized, or have its properties changed as required. Changing the properties of a selected Free Box is done by accessing its right-click context menu and clicking the Properties … command to access the Shape Properties form for the select Free Box.
