About Sharing Charts with Older Versions of OnePager
1) With OnePager versions 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, 6.1, and 7.0 we made usability changes to our file management approach to make it more consistent with the way other Microsoft Windows applications operate.
2) Since there can be situations where you need to share chart files (.TAM) with users who are using previous versions of OnePager, we provide the capability to save your charts back to previous OnePager Pro/Express versions.
3) There are some exceptions, however, where features in later OnePager Pro/Express versions are incompatible with previous OnePager Pro/Express versions.
4) In these cases, we make every attempt to obtain backward compatibility but this is not always possible.
5) Below, we discuss those cases where such backward compatibility issue exist.
Saving Chart Data for OnePager Versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, and 6.1 Users
1) To save a chart .TAM file for OnePager versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.0, or 6.1 users, from the Chart Editor select the Save As tab from the ribbons File tab as shown below:
-03032017.png)
2) When you click the Save As button shown above, the Save As chart form appears with the chart name as a .TAM in the form’s File name window.
3) To save the .TAM for OnePager versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.0 or 6.1, click the dropdown button on the Save as type: window and the saving options appear as shown below:
-11032017.png)
4) Click the desired Save as type: option and the system saves the File name .TAM in the format desired.
5) The dropdown list shown above provides additional options for saving the chart as an image in various formats as well.
Using a Chart File Built from a Previous Version of OnePager
1) OnePager Pro/Express version 7.0 can accept chart input formats from older versions of OnePager back to version 4.0.
2) When opening a chart .TAM file with OnePager version 7.0, it automatically converts the .TAM file to the OnePager Pro/Express version 7.0 file structure.
3) You can then process this .TAM file as you would any other OnePager Pro/Express chart in the Chart Editor.
4) As a note of caution, when sharing charts built with OnePager versions prior to version 5.0, OnePager Pro (OPP) and Express (OPX) version 5.3 is only able to Save chart files for OPP and OPX versions 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, or 5.3.
5) Reversion back to a OPP and OPX version prior to version 5.0 is not supported.
6) As discussed below, when version specific features and data are stripped from a chart that is saved at a lower version level.
7) These feature specific formats and data are not retrievable when attempting to use a chart from a lower version level with a higher version level of OnePager Pro/Express Add-in or Desktop.
Saving Chart Data from OnePager 7.0 with Data-Driven Task Links and Time Axis Cells with Modified Cell Widths
Data-Driven Task Links
1) OnePager 6.1 is the first release of OnePager Pro/Express to be able to show Data-Driven Task Links and to support Time Axis Cells of varying width and height.
2) Since previous versions of OnePager did not support these features, saving a OnePager 7.0 chart with Data-Driven Task Links and unequal Time Axis Cells to previous OnePager Pro/Express versions is not supported.
3) When saving OnePager Pro/Express 7.0 charts as .TAM files containing Data-Driven Task Links to OnePager Pro/Express version 6.0 or earlier formats, OnePager Pro/Express 7.0 strips away all Data-Driven Task Link information from the chart.
4) The Data-Driven Task Link data is 'not retrievable once it is 'stripped from the chart that was saved at a version level lower than OnePager Pro/Express 7.0.
5) OnePager 7.0 saves all manual Task Links to lower lever versions of OnePager since manual Task Links (AKA Even Links) are supported by OnePager Pro/Express version 6.0 and earlier versions.
Time Axis Cells with Modified Cell Widths
6) Before saving a OnePager 7.0 chart as a .TAM file with unequal Time Axis Cells to OnePager Pro/Express version 6.0 or earlier formats, OnePager 7.0 reverts the unequal cells to a uniform width and height.
7) For more information on saving OnePager charts to previous versions, please see the article at: Notes on Data-Driven Task Links for OnePager 7.0 19.7.1-70
Saving Charts with More than One Text Column
1) The Text Column feature was introduced into OnePager Pro/Express version 6.0 and continues to be supported.
2) Saving a OnePager Pro/Express 6.0 or 6.1 chart with more than one Text Column to a OnePager Pro/Express version level lower than OnePager 6.0 causes the chart to be stripped of any Text Columns to the right of the first (or left-most) column and saved to the lower OnePager Pro/Express version level with only the one Row Label column and header.
3) It is not possible to retrieve the content and format of any multiple Text Columns once they are stripped from the chart and the chart is saved at the lower OnePager Pro/Express version level.
