Opening Charts for Version 7.1

About Opening Charts

Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the feature's function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from data sources like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6.

Opening charts provided from another OnePager users is easy because chart's .TAM files are managed as ordinary Microsoft Windows files.

To open a chart stored in a .TAM file, you must know where the particular .TAM file is stored. The .TAM file can be created by OnePager Pro, OnePager Express, or by OnePager Bundle. Once this is known, you can open the .TAM file from the appropriate OnePager product. Or you can copy the .TAM file into the location on your computer where OnePager has placed other chart .TAM files.

he default placement for OnePager .TAM files is shown below:

Shared .TAM files can originate from several sources:

1) An email attachment or

2) Shared storage devices available on a network locally or in the cloud.

Once the chart .TAM is accessible to you, just launch OnePager and use the OnePager Start form to select whether you want to UPDATE or OPEN the .TAM file. Then use the BROWSE FILES choice to find the .TAM file and use it. You do not have to put the .TAM file in any special folder in order to open it. OnePager can open any .TAM file that is accessible to you on your computer’s network. You can also double-click on a .TAM file wherever it resides. Doing this launches the OnePager Standalone application and pulls the selected .TAM file in and display it in the OnePager Chart Editor.

.TAM files created with OnePager Pro (OPP) causes the OPP Standalone application to launch; .TAM files created with OnePager Express (OPX) launches the OPX Standalone application. .TAM files created from Oracle Primavera P6 or Smartsheet require OnePager Bundle to be installed.

Please keep in mind that OPP and OPX versions 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0, and 7.1 treats all .TAM files and .TAT files of OnePager as simple Microsoft Windows files within folders as are .TAM files created from Oracle Primavera P6 and Smartsheet source plans.

The file structure typically looks like this:

Recall that the OnePager Start forms support BROWSING through your file structure for locating chart .TAM files accessed from anywhere you have access permissions. If you are storing your chart .TAM files and Template .TAT files in the cloud, OnePager can access them from those locations. Similarly, OnePager is able to save chart .TAM and .TAT files back to those locations.
