==About the Rows and Swimlanes Tab==
  
1) This tab, shown below, lets you control '''collection''' of task/milestone shapes into rows, '''group''' rows into swimlanes, '''order''' rows and swimlanes, manage row/swimlane '''borders''', and '''label''' rows and swimlanes.
+
1) The '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab in the '''Chart Properties''' form, below, provides you with the capabilities to '''collect''' task from you imported '''source plans '''into '''rows''', '''group rows''' into '''swimlane levels''', '''format rows/swimlanes properties''', and '''sort rows '''and '''swimlanes'''.

 +
 
 +
2) The layout for the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab for OnePager Express is the same as the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab shown above for OnePager Pro.
 +
 
 +
3) The '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab consists of three control groups which each have sub-control groups with specific controls and buttons to access sub-forms as discussed in the following sub-sections.
 +
 
 +
4) This article is meant as an introduction to the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.
 +
 
 +
:a) OnePager Pro and Express are enhanced in that they currently support three (3) '''swimlane levels''' versus one '''swimlane level '''in previous versions.
 +
 
 +
:b) Accordingly, there are certain additional controls that are provided for creating and managing three '''swimlane levels '''instead of just one.
 +
 
 +
:c) The enhancement to three '''swimlane levels''' necessitated a redesign of the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tabs of the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties '''forms where this article overviews the changes to the '''Chart Properties '''form and points you to specific article that contain more detail.
 +
 
 +
:d) For more in depth information on the new '''multi-level swimlane '''capabilities of OnePager version 7.0, the two article links below are comprehensive and helpful:

 +
 
 +
:a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
 +
 
 +
:b) As a convention, the lowest numbered '''Left#n''' '''swimlane level''' appears in the chart to the furthest left along the '''left border''' of the chart and higher numbered '''Left#n swimlane levels '''appear in the next right position.  This scheme is intended to maintain a lowest to highest '''swimlane level numbering''' from left to right in the chart.
 +
 
 +
:c) '''Text columns''', when shown in the chart, appear to the right of the '''highest numbered''' '''swimlane level''' when '''swimlane levels '''are being shown.  When there are no '''swimlane levels''' shown in the chart '''text columns''', if shown, are to the left of the '''graph area'''.
 +
 
 +
4) When '''swimlane levels''' are shown in the chart they are accompanied by a '''swimlane level name label''' that is either created by OnePager from the '''source plan’s '''designated '''data field''' for that '''swimlane level''' or you may provide your own '''swimlane level name label''' using controls provided and discussed below.
 +
 
 +
===Swimlane Formatting… Button===
 +
 
 +
5) Each sub-tab in the '''Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form is associated with a '''Swimlane Formatting… '''button that access its '''Swimlane Formatting – Left#n '''form as shown below:''' '''

 +
 
 +
7) The '''Swimlane Formatting – Left#n '''form’s '''Column Headings''' control group contains the controls for '''formatting''' the '''Column Heading’s''' attributes for the '''swimlane level''' including '''Font '''characteristics, '''Rotation''', '''Alignment''', and '''swimlane level heading’s background color'''.
 +
 
 +
8) The '''Swimlane Text '''control group controls the selection and '''formatting '''of the '''text''' that resides within the '''swimlane level name label cells''' shown in the chart.
 +
 
 +
9) The '''Swimlane Borders''' control group turns '''ON '''and '''OFF''' the '''swimlane level’s borders''' and controls their '''format''' in terms of '''color''', '''line width''', and '''dash type'''.
 +
 
 +
10) As mentioned above, '''swimlane borders '''may overlap '''row borders''' in the chart.  Additionally, when '''multiple swimlane levels''' are shown, these '''multiple swimlane level borders''' may overlap.
 +
 
 +
===Sorting Swimlanes===
 +
 
 +
11) The controls in the '''Swimlane Sorting''' sub-control group provides the capabilities for '''Sorting swimlanes like Project '''(or '''Sorting row like Excel''' for OnePager Express) and using a '''source plan '''imported '''data field''' to control the '''sorting of swimlanes''' in the chart.

+
3) OnePager supports five (5) '''text columns '''that are named '''Left#1''' through '''Left#5'''.   
  
5) For example, you can '''group''' all rows containing task shapes with the same value of '''Resource Name''' into a swimlane.
+
:a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
  
6) You can have up to three (3) '''Swimlane levels''' defined in a chart using appropriate '''source plan''' data fields to specify the '''grouping''' of rows and '''subordinate swimlanes''' into '''higher level swimlanes'''.
+
:b) As a convention, the lowest numbered '''Left#n''' '''text column''' appears in the chart to the furthest left along the left '''border '''of the chart or to the immediate right of the '''highest swimlane level''' (if '''swimlane levels''' are being shown) and higher numbered '''Left#n text columns '''appear in the next right position.  This scheme is intended to maintain a lowest to highest '''text column numbering''' from left to right in the chart.
  
===Row and Swimlane Labels===
+
:c) '''Text columns''', when shown in the chart, appear to the immediate left of the '''graph area'''.
  
7) Rows and swimlanes can have optional '''labels''' whose text can be extracted from your Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel '''source plan''' data fields.
+
:d) When '''text columns''' are shown in the chart they are accompanied by a '''text column name label''' that is either created by OnePager from the '''source plan’s '''designated '''data field''' for that '''text column''' or you may provide your own '''text column name label''' using controls provided and discussed below.
  
8) For rows, there is an option to construct multiple '''text columns''' from data imported from your Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel '''source plan'''.

Rows/Swimlanes Tab for Version 7.0

About the Rows and Swimlanes Tab

1) The Rows/Swimlanes tab in the Chart Properties form, below, provides you with the capabilities to collect task from you imported source plans into rows, group rows into swimlane levels, format rows/swimlanes properties, and sort rows and swimlanes.

P70-21 2 1-70-(1)-10142020.png
P70-21_2_1-70-(1)-10142020.png

2) The layout for the Rows/Swimlanes tab for OnePager Express is the same as the Rows/Swimlanes tab shown above for OnePager Pro.

3) The Rows/Swimlanes tab consists of three control groups which each have sub-control groups with specific controls and buttons to access sub-forms as discussed in the following sub-sections.

4) This article is meant as an introduction to the Rows/Swimlanes tab of the Chart Properties form.

a) OnePager Pro and Express are enhanced in that they currently support three (3) swimlane levels versus one swimlane level in previous versions.
b) Accordingly, there are certain additional controls that are provided for creating and managing three swimlane levels instead of just one.
c) The enhancement to three swimlane levels necessitated a redesign of the Rows/Swimlanes tabs of the Template Properties and Chart Properties forms where this article overviews the changes to the Chart Properties form and points you to specific article that contain more detail.
d) For more in depth information on the new multi-level swimlane capabilities of OnePager version 7.0, the two article links below are comprehensive and helpful:
About OnePager's Rows and Swimlanes 12.0.2-70
Using the Multiple Swimlane Levels Feature - Overview 12.0.3-70

5) What follows from this point is an overview of the controls available in the redesigned Rows/Swimlanes tab of the Chart Properties form.

Rows

Task Layout Sub-Control Group

1) The Rows control group gives you the option to layout task bars/milestone symbols in the chart in a Gantt chart layout or a Timeline layout where multiple imported tasks are represented in one row.

2) The row is the basic horizontal strip where task bars/milestone symbols are placed by OnePager when the chart is created or updated.

3) The most common layout option is the Gantt chart layout where one task bar/milestone symbol is occupies a row. The Gantt chart layout is the default.

4) OnePager Pro and Express are distributed with Template Properties forms that support both Gantt chart layouts and Timeline layouts.

5) For Timeline layouts there are additional options for aligning multiple task bars/milestone symbols and staggering overlapping task on the timelines.

6) For more information on the Row control group, please see the article at: Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows 12.01.1-70.

Row Border Formatting… Button

7) Clicking the Row Border Formatting… button access the Row Formatting form as shown here:

P70-21 2 1-70-(2)-10142020.png
P70-21_2_1-70-(2)-10142020.png

8) The Row Formatting form contains the controls for turning ON and OFF all row borders and formatting row borders with respect to their color, line width, and dash type.

9) Row borders may overlap borders for swimlane levels and the interior frame of the graph area.

10) For more information of Row and Swimlane Borders, please see the article at: Row and Swimlane Borders 12.04.1-70

Sorting Rows

11) The controls in the Row Sorting sub-control group provides the capabilities for Sorting rows like Project (or Sorting row like Excel for OnePager Express) and using a source plan imported data field to control the sorting of rows in the chart.

12) For more information on Row Sorting, please see the related sub-sections in the article at: Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows 12.01.1-70.

Swimlanes

1) OnePager Pro and Express version 7.0 support three (3) swimlane levels and the controls are provided in the Swimlanes sub-tab of the Rows/Swimlanes tab of the Chart Properties form as shown below:

P70-21 2 1-70-(3)-10142020.png
P70-21_2_1-70-(3)-10142020.png

2) Swimlane levels are contiguous sets of rows that you can be group together using the Group by values imported from your Microsoft Project or Excel source plan designated data field.

Swimlane Left#1, Left#2, and Left#3 Sub-Tabs

3) OnePager supports three (3) swimlane levels that are named Left#1, Left#2, and Left#3.

a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
b) As a convention, the lowest numbered Left#n swimlane level appears in the chart to the furthest left along the left border of the chart and higher numbered Left#n swimlane levels appear in the next right position. This scheme is intended to maintain a lowest to highest swimlane level numbering from left to right in the chart.
c) Text columns, when shown in the chart, appear to the right of the highest numbered swimlane level when swimlane levels are being shown. When there are no swimlane levels shown in the chart text columns, if shown, are to the left of the graph area.

4) When swimlane levels are shown in the chart they are accompanied by a swimlane level name label that is either created by OnePager from the source plan’s designated data field for that swimlane level or you may provide your own swimlane level name label using controls provided and discussed below.

Swimlane Formatting… Button

5) Each sub-tab in the Swimlanes tab of the Chart Properties form is associated with a Swimlane Formatting… button that access its Swimlane Formatting – Left#n form as shown below:

P70-21 2 1-70-(4)-10142020.png
P70-21_2_1-70-(4)-10142020.png

6) There are three (3) identical Swimlane Formatting – Left#n forms, one for each swimlane level accessed by first clicking the desired Left#1, Left#2, or Left#3 sub-tab described above.

7) The Swimlane Formatting – Left#n form’s Column Headings control group contains the controls for formatting the Column Heading’s attributes for the swimlane level including Font characteristics, Rotation, Alignment, and swimlane level heading’s background color.

8) The Swimlane Text control group controls the selection and formatting of the text that resides within the swimlane level name label cells shown in the chart.

9) The Swimlane Borders control group turns ON and OFF the swimlane level’s borders and controls their format in terms of color, line width, and dash type.

10) As mentioned above, swimlane borders may overlap row borders in the chart. Additionally, when multiple swimlane levels are shown, these multiple swimlane level borders may overlap.

Sorting Swimlanes

11) The controls in the Swimlane Sorting sub-control group provides the capabilities for Sorting swimlanes like Project (or Sorting row like Excel for OnePager Express) and using a source plan imported data field to control the sorting of swimlanes in the chart.

12) For more information on Swimlanes and Row Sorting, please see the related sub-sections in the article at: Creating, Formatting, and Sorting Swimlanes Levels 12.02.1-70.

Text Columns

1) OnePager Pro and Express version 7.0 support five (5) text columns and the controls are provided in the Text Columns sub-tab of the Rows/Swimlanes tab in the Chart Properties form as shown below:

P70-21 2 1-70-(5)-10142020.png
P70-21_2_1-70-(5)-10142020.png

2) Text columns are associated with each visible row and can be used to display values imported from your Microsoft Project or Excel source plan’s designated data field.

Text Column Left#1, Left#2, Left#3, Left#4, and Left#5 Sub-Tabs

3) OnePager supports five (5) text columns that are named Left#1 through Left#5.

a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
b) As a convention, the lowest numbered Left#n text column appears in the chart to the furthest left along the left border of the chart or to the immediate right of the highest swimlane level (if swimlane levels are being shown) and higher numbered Left#n text columns appear in the next right position. This scheme is intended to maintain a lowest to highest text column numbering from left to right in the chart.
c) Text columns, when shown in the chart, appear to the immediate left of the graph area.
d) When text columns are shown in the chart they are accompanied by a text column name label that is either created by OnePager from the source plan’s designated data field for that text column or you may provide your own text column name label using controls provided and discussed below.

Text Column Formatting… Button

5) Each sub-tab in the Text Columns tab of the Chart Properties form is associated with a Text Column Formatting… button that access its Text Column Formatting – Left#n form as shown below:
