Launching OnePager Add-in or OnePager desktop

1) Chronicle Graphics, Inc. is pleased to announce the addition of a desktop launch capability for both OnePager Pro (OPP) and Express (OPX). Previous versions were embedded into Microsoft Project for OPP and Microsoft Excel for OPX. We have retained these capabilities in OPP and OPX version 5.3 but have enhanced these products with the capability to launch from desktop icons shown here:

P53-0 2-(1)-08262015.png

2) Launching OPP and OPX from Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel remains fully functional. Now, you can click the above icons to launch OPP and OPX from the desktop. Launching OnePager will bring up the splash screen shown below:

P53-0 2-(1A)-10262015.png

3) Launching from the desktop still requires that your computer have Microsoft Project and/or Microsoft Excel installed.

4) After clicking the desktop icon, the OnePager Start form will appear over an empty project view as shown below:

P53-0 2-(2)-10262015.png

5) Please note that after selecting this launch option you will only be able to launch either OPP Add-in or OPP desktop. Only one of these applications may be active at a time. If you attempt to launch both, a warning message will appear. The same applies to launching OPX Add-in or OPX desktop.

6) At this point you have the option to create a NEW project view, UPDATE an existing project view or OPEN an existing project view.

NEW Button

7) For the NEW option you will need to select a Microsoft Project file for OPP or a Microsoft Excel file for OPX. Clicking the NEW button will display the OnePager choices (OPC) form where you can click the Select… button in the Select File(s) group and the BROWSE FILES… option to display the Windows Open form as shown below:

P53-0 2-(3)-10282015.png

8) Clicking the Windows Open button will cause the OPC form to expand (shown below) allowing you to complete the creation of a NEW project view.

UPDATE Button

9) Clicking the UPDATE button takes you to your project view database as shown below where you can select a project view in the form of a .TAM file:

P53-0 2-(5)-08262015.png
a) For a .TAM file created with OnePager version 5.3, the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel source file name and the path name are known. For these .TAM files, OnePager will provide the source file to Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel and the application will in turn provide the data to OPP or OPX create and display the updated project view.
b) For .TAM files created with OnePager version 5.2 or earlier, OnePager only knows the Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel file name. The path name for retrieving the source file is not known. In this situation, you will be prompted as shown below to provide the correct path name.
P53-0 2-(5)-08262015.png
c) Once the .TAM file from a previous version of OnePager is processed by OnePager version 5.3 and saved as a OnePager version 5.3 .TAM, OnePager will retain the provided path name for further use.
d) Should a .TAM previously processed by OnePager version 5.3 be shared with a OnePager version 5.2 or earlier version user, the OnePager version 5.2 or earlier version will not have access to the source file path name information. Accordingly, if a .TAM file under this scenario is updated and returned to a OnePager version 5.2 user for processing, the path name information will no long be present in the updated .TAM file.

OPEN Button

10) Clicking the OPEN button and the BROWSE FILES… option will bring up a Windows Open form with the .TAM files in your file system as shown below:

P53-0 2-(6)-08262015.png

11) With the OPEN option, the project view is immediately displayed in the Project View Editor’s (PVE) window.

12) Note: When you use the Add-in version of OPP and OPX, access to the OnePager templates is provided on the Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel Add-in ribbon. When you launch the desktop application of OnePager, access to the templates is as follows:

a) Launch OPP or OPX version 5.3 from the desktop.
b) Click the File tab on the ribbon.
c) Then, click the Options tab which will bring up the display shown below:
P53-0 2-(6A)-10292015.png

Template Button

d) Clicking the Template… button on the OnePager Options page shown above will bring up the current Template Properties form. At this point you may make modifications to the current template and save it or you may access other OnePager templates by clicking the File tab on the Template Properties form being displayed as shown below:
P53-0 2-(6B)-10292015.png
e) Clicking on the BROWSE FILES… button shown above will take you to your template storage folder where you may select from the named .TAT files.

13) Note: OPP and OPX versions 5.3 can process .TAM files created by either OPP or OPX. In the case of .TAMs created by OPX you need to consider the flexibility of Microsoft Excel with respect to column names and functions. In other words, .TAM files originally created with OPX will not be updatable in OPP and vice versa.

14) OPP or OPX version 5.3’s desktop applications can also be launch by double-clicking on a .TAM file or a .TAT (template) file. If you have both OPP and OPX versions 5.3 installed (called a OnePager bundle), OnePager will look to see which application built the selected .TAM or .TAT file and launch the appropriate OnePager application. If only OPP or OPX are installed, the installed OnePager will attempt to process the selected .TAM or .TAT. On the other hand, if you do not open a .TAM or .TAT with a double-click but open a selected .TAM or .TAT using the File tab's Open commands from the Project View Editor (PVE), the launched application of OnePager will process the selected .TAM or .TAT file.

Caution on Launching OnePager Add-in and Desktop Applications

Please note that after selecting the Add-in launch option that you will not be able to launch the OnePager desktop application. Only one of these applications (Add-in or Desktop) may be active.. If you attempt to launch both, a warning message will appear as shown below.
