==Time Axis Upgrade==
+
−
 
+
−
In prior versions of OnePager you had limited '''editing''' control over the '''Time Axes''', their '''Levels''', and individual '''Cells'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
With OnePager 7.0 there are new features and enhancement that help you to dramatically tailor the '''Time Axis''' to visually enhance your schedule presentations. 
+
−
 
+
−
In OnePager Pro and Express 7.0 you can:
+
−
 
+
−
1) Control the '''Start/Finish boundaries''' of the project view in the '''Template''' and '''PVP''' form’s new '''Time Axis '''tabs and in the OnePager 7.0 ribbon’s '''View '''tab.
+
−
 
+
−
2) Control the '''showing '''and '''hiding '''of '''Time Axis Levels '''and '''Cells '''in the project view thus changing the visibility of information displayed in the '''graph'''.
+
−
 
+
−
3) Use centralized global controls to set and '''edit''' '''Time Axis Level Labels''' and individual '''Time Axis Level '''and '''Cell''' '''formats''' that include '''border properties''', '''background colors''', '''fill patterns''', and '''Time Axis Level heights'''.
+
−
 
+
−
4) Use controls to '''Re-order '''the positions of individual '''Time Axis Levels''' with respect to one another at the top and bottom of the project view.
+
−
 
+
−
5) Create '''Floating Time Axis Levels''' and '''Cells''' within the '''graph''', change '''their positions''', '''show''' and '''hide Floating Time Axis Levels''', and '''edit''' their '''format properties'''.
+
−
 
+
−
6) Create '''Non-Linear Time Axis Level Cells''' by manually selecting these '''Cells''' and '''stretching '''or '''compressing '''their '''widths''' as required to change the appearance of '''timespans''' in the project view.
+
−
 
+
−
7) Create '''Curtains''' in the project view corresponding to '''Time Axis Level Cell(s)''' '''widths '''and '''edit Curtain format properties'''.
+
−
 
+
−
8) Create and '''edit Daily Curtains '''with selective '''colors '''for '''weekdays''' and '''weekends''', control their '''transparency''' percentage, and their '''border properties'''.
+
−
 
+
−
9) Define '''Working '''and '''Non-Working Hour timespans''' for each day of the week, control how these '''timespans''' are '''shown''' in the project view,''' '''and establish a specific '''Color '''for '''Non-Working Hours'''.
+
−
 
+
−
10) Create your own '''Custom Date''' '''Formats''' as extensions to those standard '''date formats''' provided by OnePager 7.0 for '''Years, Quarters, Months, Weeks, Days, Hours, and below'''.
+
−
 
+
−
11) Manage your created '''Curtains''' and '''Non-Linear Time Axis Level Cell’s timespans''' in a centralized '''Curtains and Timespans Grid (The Grid)'''.
+
−
 
+
−
12) Modify the '''Percent Complete''' ('''%Complete''') representation in the project view to take account of '''Non-Working times'''.
+
−
 
+
−
===Redesigned Template and Project-View Properties Forms===
+
−
 
+
−
To implement these new features and enhancements OnePager 7.0’s '''Template '''and '''PVP '''form’s tabs associated with the '''Time Axis''' are redesigned to centralize all controls and access to '''Time Axis '''related forms in a single '''Template '''and '''PVP''' form '''Time Axis '''tab.
+
−
 
+
−
1) The '''Time Axis Upgrade''' includes a redesigned '''Time Axis Properties''' form previously titled the '''Advanced time-axis features''' form. 
+
−
 
+
−
2) As you recall, the '''Advanced time-axis features''' form was accessible by either right-clicking on a '''Time Axis Cell''' or by clicking the '''Configure time-axis''' button on the '''Template/PVP''' form’s '''Main''' tab.
+
−
 
+
−
3) The redesign places all '''Time Axis '''related global controls on one '''Template/PVP '''form tab as shown here for the '''PVP''' form's '''Time Axis''' tab:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P61-0_0_4-61-(5)-12102018.png]]</center>
+
−
center>&lt;P61-0_0_4-61-(5)-12102018.png&gt;</center
+
−
 
+
−
4) The '''Time Axis Upgrade''' also includes enhancements to '''manual editing''' of '''Time Axis Level Cell format properties'''.
+
−
 
+
−
5) As an example of just one of the new capabilities, the illustration below shows a '''Floating Time Axis''' within the '''Graph''': :
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P61-0_0_4-61-(4-1)-08012018.png]]</center>
+

==The Honoring Non-Working Time Feature for Percent Complete (%Complete) in Microsoft Project and Excel Source Plans==
+
−
 
+
−
1) The '''Honor Non-Working Time '''feature is an '''advanced feature''' provided in OnePager Pro 7.0 so that you can accurately display '''%Complete''' bars in your project views that match the '''%Complete''' bars in Microsoft Project’s Gantt Charts when you configure the Microsoft Project Calendar with appropriate '''Working '''and '''Non-Working Time'''.  This '''advanced feature is also adapted to Microsoft Excel '''source files'''.
+
−
 
+
−
2) Specifying precise '''Working Hours '''and '''Non-Working Hours''' has an impact on how OnePager Pro 7.0 expresses '''Percent Complete''' ('''%Complete''') when you decide to '''Honor non-working time '''in the calculations. 
+
−
 
+
−
:a) This feature assures that you can apply your Microsoft Project '''Calendar''' and have the OnePager Pro 7.0 '''graph''' accurately reflect the '''percent complete''' information from the '''source plan'''.
+
−
 
+
−
:b) You have the capability to select whether you want to take into account '''source plan''' '''Working Hours''' or '''Elapsed Time''' as is the case with previous versions of OnePager.
+
−
 
+
−
4) Please take a moment to look at the Read More… article below which provides more details of these new '''Honor Non-Working Time''' features and enhancements with examples.

+
−
 
+
−
==New Shapes and Color Palette==
+
−
 
+
−
For OnePager Pro and Express 7.0 there are additional '''Task Bar shapes '''provided in the '''Template/PVP '''form '''Task Bars '''tab’s '''Default Task Bar Styles''' control group at the '''Shape''' dropdown menu and a new '''Color Chooser '''form '''Standard palette '''provided as well.
+
−
 
+
−
1) The fifteen (15) new '''Task Bar shapes''' provided with OnePager Pro and Express 7.0 are shown below:

+
−
center>&lt;P61-0_0_4-61-(2)-07262018.png&gt;</center
+
−
 
+
−
2) The updated '''Color Chooser '''form with the default '''Standard palette''' looks like this:

+
−
 
+
−
==Auto-Save==
+
−
 
+
−
In OnePager 7.0 there is a new '''Auto-Save '''feature to assist you with recovering from operating system crashes, laptop battery outages, and other errors where you cannot recover your work effectively.
+
−
 
+
−
1) The feature is automatically turned '''ON''' when you launch OnePager Pro or Express7.0 either the '''Add-in''' or '''Desktop''' application.
+
−
 
+
−
2) During the operation of OnePager 7.0, the '''Auto-Save''' feature saves your project view as a '''.TAM''' file in your '''default project view directory'''.  This is normally in the '''Documents''' folder under either OnePager Pro or OnePager Express.
+
−
 
+
−
3) The '''Auto-Save''' file name is in the form of '''_AutoSave_projectviewname.TAM'''.  Only the last '''Auto-Save''' file saved exists in your '''default project view directory'''.
+
−
 
+
−
4) An '''Auto-Save''' file is written to this folder every five (5) minutes of OnePager Pro or Express 7.0’s operation.
+
−
 
+
−
5) When you '''Close''' OnePager 7.0 under normal conditions, the '''Auto-Save''' file is '''deleted '''so as not to occupy unnecessary storage space.
+
−
 
+
−
6) You have the option to turn the '''Auto-Save '''feature '''OFF '''by unchecking the checkbox found on the '''File''' tab of the OnePager 7.0 ribbon at the '''Options''' sub-tab. 
+
−
 
+
−
7) Turning the '''Auto-Save''' feature '''OFF''' causes the feature to remain '''OFF''' until the next OnePager 7.0 launch where you turn the feature back '''ON''' as shown below:
