==About the Milestones Tab for OnePager Express==
  
==About the Rows and Swimlanes Tab==
+
1) This tab page, shown below, lets you control the '''style and decoration''' of milestone symbols.
  
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) Additionally, within this tab are the controls for creating and managing '''conditional formatting rules'''.

<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(1)-10162020.png></center>
  
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 '''Milestones''' tab in the '''Chart Properties''' form is the same as the '''Milestones''' tab in the '''Template Properties''' form.
  
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) Additionally, it is possible to make '''edits''' in the '''Milestones''' tab and have these '''edits mirrored''' in the '''Task Bars''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form and vice versa.
  
4) This article is meant as an introduction to the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.
+
5) Please check the links for more information on sub-forms accessible from the '''Milestones''' tab.
  
:a) OnePager Pro and Express are enhanced in that they currently support three (3) '''swimlane levels''' versus one '''swimlane level '''in previous versions.
+
==Default Milestone Symbol Styles Control Group==
  
:b) Accordingly, there are certain additional controls that are provided for creating and managing three '''swimlane levels '''instead of just one.
+
1) Collected in this sub-control group are all the controls associated with defining or changing the properties of '''milestone properties'''.  
  
: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.
+
2) These controls include:
  
: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:

==Rows==
+
===Fill===
  
===Task Layout Sub-Control Group===
+
4) This dropdown menu shows the five (5) available '''milestone symbol fill patterns''' or '''texture''' options as shown below:
  
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'''.
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_5_1-70-(3-1)-10162020.png]]</center>

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(3)-10162020.png></center>
  
2) The '''row''' is the basic horizontal strip where task bars/milestone symbols are placed by OnePager when the chart is created or updated.
+
===Milestone Height===
  
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'''.
+
5) These two (2) radio buttons and their associated value windows allow you to set the '''milestone height''' as an absolute quantity ('''inches or centimeters''') or as a '''percentage of the row height''', which is shown in parentheses for reference as shown here:
  
4) OnePager Pro and Express are distributed with '''Template Properties''' forms that support both '''Gantt chart layouts''' and '''Timeline layouts'''.

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(4)-10162020.png></center>
  
5) For '''Timeline layouts''' there are additional options for '''aligning''' multiple task bars/milestone symbols and '''staggering overlapping task''' on the '''timelines'''.
+
6) The values shown in the illustration above are the '''default settings''' established in most OnePager distributed '''Template Properties''' forms.
  
6) For more information on the '''Row control group''', please see the article at: [[Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows for Version 7.0 | Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows]] 12.01.1-70.
+
===Border Controls===
  
===Row Border Formatting… Button===
+
7) In the upper right corner of the form, there are three (3) controls that allow you change (1) the '''color''' of '''milestone symbol border''', (2) the '''width of the border''' and (3) the '''border’s style''' as shown below with the '''Border Color''' dropdown clicked to access the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form:
  
7) Clicking the '''Row Border Formatting… '''button access the '''Row Formatting''' form as shown here:
+

<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(2)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
8) Further, you have the capability to establish the '''border color''' to be the same as the '''milestone symbol fill color''' which effectively makes the '''milestone symbol border''' disappear.
<center>P70-21_2_1-70-(2)-10142020.png</center>
+
  
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'''.
+
8) Clicking the dropdown button on the '''Border Color''' control accesses the standard '''Color Chooser''' form as shown in the above illustration.
  
9) '''Row borders''' may overlap '''borders''' for '''swimlane levels''' and the '''interior frame''' of the '''graph area'''.
+
10) The '''Border Width''' control allows you to set the value window for the '''width''' of the '''milestone symbol's border''' in inches or centimeters depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used.
  
10) For more information of '''Row and Swimlane Borders''', please see the article at: [[Row and Swimlane Borders for Version 7.0 | Row and Swimlane Borders]] 12.04.1-70
+
11) There are five (5) '''Border Styles''' to select from with the '''default style''' set at '''Solid''' as shown below:
  
===Sorting Rows===
+

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(6)-10162020.png></center>
  
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.
+
===Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Fill Color===
  
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 for Version 7.0 | Collecting, Formatting, and Sorting Task/Milestones into Rows]] 12.01.1-70.
+
12) The '''Task Bar/Milestone Fill Color''' sub-control group provides two options for assigning initial '''colors''' to milestone symbols and is shown below:
  
==Swimlanes==
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_5_1-70-(7)-10162020.png]]</center>
 +
<center><P70-21_5_1-70-(7)-10162020.png></center>

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(7)-10162020.png></center>
  
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:
+
13) You can specify a '''single color''' for '''all milestone symbols''' via the standard '''Color Chooser''' form when the '''Use on color:''' radio button is is checked '''ON'''. 
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(3)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
14) More commonly, clicking the '''Color-code based on''' radio button allows you to select a field from your Microsoft Project '''source plan''' to assign a data driven '''color''' to each milestone symbol.  
<center>P70-21_2_1-70-(3)-10142020.png</center>
+
  
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'''.
+
15) The '''data driven color''' assignment is sometimes referred to as '''round-robin color'''.  
  
===Swimlane Left#1, Left#2, and Left#3 Sub-Tabs===
+
16) OnePager goes in sequence through the '''color palette''' and assigns a new '''color''' when it finds a new distinct value in the data. 
  
3) OnePager supports three (3) '''swimlane levels '''that are named '''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', and '''Left#3'''.
+
17) If it finds more distinct values than there are '''colors''' in the '''palette''', it starts over at the beginning of the palette and uses each '''color''' for a second data value, and so on.
  
:a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
+
18) Also note that the '''Color-code based on''' selects a single data field that applies to both task bars and milestone symbols as shown here:
  
: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.
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_5_1-70-(8-1)-10162020.png]]</center>
 +
<center><P70-21_5_1-70-(8-1)-10162020.png></center>

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(8)-10162020.png></center>
  
: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'''.
+
19) This is one of the few places where task bars and milestone symbols are constrained to have the '''same default behavior'''.
  
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.
+
===Mirror format settings between milestones and task bars===
  
===Swimlane Formatting… Button===
+
20) This single checkbox sub-control is used so that you have the option to simply apply any '''property edits''' you make to milestone symbols to task bars without having to go to the '''Task Bars''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form. 
  
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:''' '''
+
:a) It is recommended that you check the '''Mirror format settings between task bars and milestones''' checkbox '''ON''' before making any '''edits''' in the tab. 
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(4)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
:b) That way, OnePager applies the '''edits''' to both task bars and milestones symbols from the start.
<center>P70-21_2_1-70-(4)-10142020.png</center>
+
  
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.
+
:c)'''Task Bar''' and '''Milestone''' fill colors are always '''mirrored''' regardless of the '''Mirror...''' checkbox being checked '''ON''' or '''OFF'''.
  
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'''.
+
21) When this checkbox is checked '''ON''', OnePager automatically makes any changes to '''Task Bar properties''' that are made to '''Milestone properties''' for all settings where a '''blue dot''' appears to the right of the setting as in the illustration below where the checkbox is checked '''ON''':
  
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.
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_5_1-70-(9)-10162020.png]]</center>

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(9)-10162020.png></center>
  
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'''.
+
==Milestone Symbol Decorations Control Group==
  
10) As mentioned above, '''swimlane borders '''may overlap '''row borders''' in the chartAdditionally, when '''multiple swimlane levels''' are shown, these '''multiple swimlane level borders''' may overlap.
+
1) There are '''five (5) decorations''' for Milestone symbols.   
  
===Sorting Swimlanes===
+
2) Each can be turned '''ON''' by checking the associated checkbox to the left of the control's label as shown here:
  
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 for Version 7.0 | Creating, Formatting, and Sorting Swimlanes Levels]] 12.02.1-70.
+
3) Each of these '''decoration’s''' controls can be accessed by clicking the adjacent button as shown in the illustration above.  
  
==Text Columns==
+
4) When any of the '''five (5) decoration''' buttons are clicked, OnePager accesses a form with specific controls to '''manage the decorations''' for that '''decoration type'''.
  
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:
+
5) What follows is a description of each of the '''specific control forms''' associated with each of the '''five (5) decoration types''':
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(5)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
===Milestone Label Properties... Button and The Set Label Properties Form=== 
<center>P70-21_2_1-70-(5)-10142020.png</center>
+
  
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'''.
+
6) Clicking this button accesses the '''Set Label Properties''' form shown below wherein the '''source plan''' field name for the milestone symbol''', '''milestone symbol label font properties''', '''label positions''', and '''label text collision avoidance''' controls can be set as shown here:

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(11)-10162020.png></center>
  
3) OnePager supports five (5) '''text columns '''that are named '''Left#1''' through '''Left#5'''. 
+
====Milestone Symbol Name Field Selection====
  
:a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
+
7) The '''Set Label Properties''' form's '''Label field''' dropdown as shown below allows you to access the full list of '''source plan''' field names '''imported''' by OnePager and '''select''' from the dropdown the field name OnePager uses to provide a visible '''milestone symbol label''' into the chart for each visible task bar/milestone symbol:
  
: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.

<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(12)-10162020.png></center>
  
:c) '''Text columns''', when shown in the chart, appear to the immediate left of the '''graph area'''.
+
====Milestone Symbol Label Font Properties====
  
: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) Clicking the '''Label font''' dropdown button accesses the standard '''Font properties''' form as shown below:
  
===Text Column Formatting… Button===
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_3_1-70-(13)-10292019.png]]</center>

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(13)-10162020.png></center>
  
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:''' '''
+
9) The standard '''Font properties''' form allows you to set the '''Label text's''' '''font type''', '''color''' using the standard '''Color Chooser''' form, the '''font size''' in pixels, and the '''Bold -''' ''Italics'' '''- [[Underline]]''' settings.
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(6-2)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
====Milestone Symbol Label Position====
<center>P70-21_2_1-70-(6-2)-10142020.png</center>
+
  
6) There are five (5) identical '''Text-Column Formatting – Left#n''' forms. Each '''text column '''is accessed by first clicking one of the desired '''Left#1''' through '''Left#3 '''sub-tab described above.
+
10) The '''default milestone symbol label position''' is '''Best fit all directions''' as shown in the illustration below along with the other nine (9) available standard positions :
  
7) The '''Text-Column Formatting – Left#n '''form’s '''Column Headings''' control group contains the controls for '''formatting''' the '''Column Heading’s''' attributes for the '''text column''' including '''Font '''characteristics, '''Rotation''', '''Alignment''', and '''text column heading’s background color'''.

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(14)-10162020.png></center>
  
8) The '''Column Text '''control group controls the selection and '''formatting '''of the '''text''' that resides within the '''text column name label cells''' shown in the chart.
+
11) The '''default''' setting of '''Best fit all directions''' gives OnePager the flexibility to establish '''task bar/milestone symbol label positions''' that do not '''collide''' with other graphics in the chart.
  
9) Because '''text column cells''' are associated with '''rows''', '''text column border''' management is at the '''row level''' and controlled in the '''Rows '''control group of the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.
+
12) One Pager's '''Text Label Collision Avoidance feature''', discussed in brief next, provides you with a set of rules you can employ to tell OnePager how to position '''task/milestone text labels''' in the chart.
  
===Additional Text Columns Sub-Control Groups===
+
===Smart Labeling Settings===
  
10) In the '''Text Columns '''control group when the '''Display data from''' window contains a '''numeric''' or a '''date field''', the '''Text Columns '''control group is supplemented with an additional sub-control group depending on the type of '''data field''' placed in the '''Display data from''' window.
+
13) As mentioned, OnePager has a '''Smart Labeling''' or '''Text Label Collision Avoidance feature''' that attempts to avoid '''cluttered text labels''' appearing in the '''graph''' or at least to minimize the occurrences.
  
11) If the '''Display data from '''window contains a '''numeric type field''', the '''Text Columns '''control group looks like this:
+
14) The controls available to you are shown below:
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(7)-10142020.png]]</center>

 +
<center><X70-21_6_1-70-(15)-10162020.png></center>
  
12) If the '''Display data from '''window contains a '''date type field''', the '''Text Columns '''control group looks  like this:
+
15) The '''Enable smart labeling for task/milestone labeling''' checkbox '''enables''' the '''Smart Labeling''' controls when the checkbox is checked '''ON''' and '''disables''' the controls when the checkbox is checked '''OFF'''.
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(8)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
16) There are four (4) algorithm types available for you to '''enable/disable''', set a specific parameter, and establish an '''algorithm priority''' among the set of four.

13) For more information on '''Text Columns''', please see the article at: [[Creating and Formatting Text Columns for Version 7.0 | Creating and Formatting Text Columns]] 12.03.1-70.
+
=====Wrap text up to=====
 +
 
 +
17) The '''Wrap text up to (value) lines algorithm''' tells OnePager, depending on the '''priority''' established, to take the '''text label string''' and wrap it into a maximum of lines up to the value set in the parameter.
 +
 
 +
18) The '''Wrap text up to (value) lines''' is the '''default''' setting established in distributed OnePager '''Template Properties''' forms.
 +
 
 +
19) The '''value window''' is set to '''2 lines''' as the '''default''' value.
 +
 
 +
=====Stair step up to=====
 +
 
 +
20) The '''Stair steps up to (value) levels algorithm''' tells OnePager, again depending on the '''priority''' establishes, to create a '''Comment box''' like structure that connects to the task bar/milestone symbol that holds the '''text label string'''.
 +
 
 +
21) The '''number of levels value''' is typically set to '''1''' meaning that the '''Stair step''' is positionhed in the '''row''' immediately above the '''row''' containing the subject task bar/milestone symbol.
 +
 
 +
22) Higher '''number of level values''' increases the number of '''rows''' skipped in positioning the '''Stair step'''.
 +
 
 +
=====Truncate text to=====
 +
 
 +
23) The '''Truncate text to (value) characters algorithm''' tells OnePager to chop off an excessively long '''text label string''' up to and including the '''value number of characters''' and replace the '''truncated text label charters''' with the '''...''' character so the modified '''text label string''' fits in the selected position.
 +
 
 +
24) The '''value number of characters''' setting is set to '''20''' characters including the '''...''' character.
 +
 
 +
=====Shrink font by up to=====
 +
 
 +
25) The '''Shrink font by up to (value) percent algorithm''' tell OnePager to reduce the '''text label string's''' '''font size''' up to the '''percentage''' specified in the value window until the reduced '''font size text label string''' fits in the selected position.

About the Milestones Tab for OnePager Express

1) This tab page, shown below, lets you control the style and decoration of milestone symbols.

2) Additionally, within this tab are the controls for creating and managing conditional formatting rules.

P70-21 5 1-70-(1)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(1)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(1)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(1)-10162020.png>

3) The Milestones tab in the Chart Properties form is the same as the Milestones tab in the Template Properties form.

4) Additionally, it is possible to make edits in the Milestones tab and have these edits mirrored in the Task Bars tab of the Chart Properties form and vice versa.

5) Please check the links for more information on sub-forms accessible from the Milestones tab.

Default Milestone Symbol Styles Control Group

1) Collected in this sub-control group are all the controls associated with defining or changing the properties of milestone properties.

2) These controls include:

Shape

3) The dropdown menu shows many milestone symbols available for use as shown here:

P70-21 5 1-70-(2)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(2)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(2)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(2)-10162020.png>

Fill

4) This dropdown menu shows the five (5) available milestone symbol fill patterns or texture options as shown below:

P70-21 5 1-70-(3-1)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(3-1)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(3)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(3)-10162020.png>

Milestone Height

5) These two (2) radio buttons and their associated value windows allow you to set the milestone height as an absolute quantity (inches or centimeters) or as a percentage of the row height, which is shown in parentheses for reference as shown here:

P70-21 5 1-70-(4)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(4)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(4)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(4)-10162020.png>

6) The values shown in the illustration above are the default settings established in most OnePager distributed Template Properties forms.

Border Controls

7) In the upper right corner of the form, there are three (3) controls that allow you change (1) the color of milestone symbol border, (2) the width of the border and (3) the border’s style as shown below with the Border Color dropdown clicked to access the standard OnePager Color Chooser form:

P70-21 5 1-70-(5)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(5)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(5)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(5)-10162020.png>

8) Further, you have the capability to establish the border color to be the same as the milestone symbol fill color which effectively makes the milestone symbol border disappear.

8) Clicking the dropdown button on the Border Color control accesses the standard Color Chooser form as shown in the above illustration.

10) The Border Width control allows you to set the value window for the width of the milestone symbol's border in inches or centimeters depending on the Template Properties form being used.

11) There are five (5) Border Styles to select from with the default style set at Solid as shown below:

P70-21 5 1-70-(6)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(6)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(6)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(6)-10162020.png>

Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Fill Color

12) The Task Bar/Milestone Fill Color sub-control group provides two options for assigning initial colors to milestone symbols and is shown below:

P70-21 5 1-70-(7)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(7)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(7)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(7)-10162020.png>

13) You can specify a single color for all milestone symbols via the standard Color Chooser form when the Use on color: radio button is is checked ON.

14) More commonly, clicking the Color-code based on radio button allows you to select a field from your Microsoft Project source plan to assign a data driven color to each milestone symbol.

15) The data driven color assignment is sometimes referred to as round-robin color.

16) OnePager goes in sequence through the color palette and assigns a new color when it finds a new distinct value in the data.

17) If it finds more distinct values than there are colors in the palette, it starts over at the beginning of the palette and uses each color for a second data value, and so on.

18) Also note that the Color-code based on selects a single data field that applies to both task bars and milestone symbols as shown here:

P70-21 5 1-70-(8-1)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(8-1)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(8)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(8)-10162020.png>

19) This is one of the few places where task bars and milestone symbols are constrained to have the same default behavior.

Mirror format settings between milestones and task bars

20) This single checkbox sub-control is used so that you have the option to simply apply any property edits you make to milestone symbols to task bars without having to go to the Task Bars tab of the Chart Properties form.

a) It is recommended that you check the Mirror format settings between task bars and milestones checkbox ON before making any edits in the tab.
b) That way, OnePager applies the edits to both task bars and milestones symbols from the start.
c)Task Bar and Milestone fill colors are always mirrored regardless of the Mirror... checkbox being checked ON or OFF.

21) When this checkbox is checked ON, OnePager automatically makes any changes to Task Bar properties that are made to Milestone properties for all settings where a blue dot appears to the right of the setting as in the illustration below where the checkbox is checked ON:

P70-21 5 1-70-(9)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(9)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(9)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(9)-10162020.png>

Milestone Symbol Decorations Control Group

1) There are five (5) decorations for Milestone symbols.

2) Each can be turned ON by checking the associated checkbox to the left of the control's label as shown here:

P70-21 5 1-70-(10)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(10)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(10)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(10)-10162020.png>

3) Each of these decoration’s controls can be accessed by clicking the adjacent button as shown in the illustration above.

4) When any of the five (5) decoration buttons are clicked, OnePager accesses a form with specific controls to manage the decorations for that decoration type.

5) What follows is a description of each of the specific control forms associated with each of the five (5) decoration types:

Milestone Label Properties... Button and The Set Label Properties Form

6) Clicking this button accesses the Set Label Properties form shown below wherein the source plan field name for the milestone symbol, milestone symbol label font properties, label positions, and label text collision avoidance controls can be set as shown here:

P70-21 5 1-70-(11)-10162020.png
<P70-21_5_1-70-(11)-10162020.png>
X70-21 6 1-70-(11)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(11)-10162020.png>

Milestone Symbol Name Field Selection

7) The Set Label Properties form's Label field dropdown as shown below allows you to access the full list of source plan field names imported by OnePager and select from the dropdown the field name OnePager uses to provide a visible milestone symbol label into the chart for each visible task bar/milestone symbol:

P70-21 3 1-70-(12)-10292019.png
P70-21_3_1-70-(12)-10292019.png
File:X70-21 6 1-70-(12)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(12)-10162020.png>

Milestone Symbol Label Font Properties

8) Clicking the Label font dropdown button accesses the standard Font properties form as shown below:

P70-21 3 1-70-(13)-10292019.png
P70-21_3_1-70-(13)-10292019.png
File:X70-21 6 1-70-(13)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(13)-10162020.png>

9) The standard Font properties form allows you to set the Label text's font type, color using the standard Color Chooser form, the font size in pixels, and the Bold - Italics - Underline settings.

Milestone Symbol Label Position

10) The default milestone symbol label position is Best fit all directions as shown in the illustration below along with the other nine (9) available standard positions :

P70-21 3 1-70-(14)-10292019.png
P70-21_3_1-70-(14)-10292019.png
File:X70-21 6 1-70-(14)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(14)-10162020.png>

11) The default setting of Best fit all directions gives OnePager the flexibility to establish task bar/milestone symbol label positions that do not collide with other graphics in the chart.

12) One Pager's Text Label Collision Avoidance feature, discussed in brief next, provides you with a set of rules you can employ to tell OnePager how to position task/milestone text labels in the chart.

Smart Labeling Settings

13) As mentioned, OnePager has a Smart Labeling or Text Label Collision Avoidance feature that attempts to avoid cluttered text labels appearing in the graph or at least to minimize the occurrences.

14) The controls available to you are shown below:

P70-21 3 1-70-(15)-10292019.png
P70-21_3_1-70-(15)-10292019.png
File:X70-21 6 1-70-(15)-10162020.png
<X70-21_6_1-70-(15)-10162020.png>

15) The Enable smart labeling for task/milestone labeling checkbox enables the Smart Labeling controls when the checkbox is checked ON and disables the controls when the checkbox is checked OFF.

16) There are four (4) algorithm types available for you to enable/disable, set a specific parameter, and establish an algorithm priority among the set of four.

Wrap text up to

17) The Wrap text up to (value) lines algorithm tells OnePager, depending on the priority established, to take the text label string and wrap it into a maximum of lines up to the value set in the parameter.

18) The Wrap text up to (value) lines is the default setting established in distributed OnePager Template Properties forms.

19) The value window is set to 2 lines as the default value.

Stair step up to

20) The Stair steps up to (value) levels algorithm tells OnePager, again depending on the priority establishes, to create a Comment box like structure that connects to the task bar/milestone symbol that holds the text label string.

21) The number of levels value is typically set to 1 meaning that the Stair step is positionhed in the row immediately above the row containing the subject task bar/milestone symbol.

22) Higher number of level values increases the number of rows skipped in positioning the Stair step.

Truncate text to

23) The Truncate text to (value) characters algorithm tells OnePager to chop off an excessively long text label string up to and including the value number of characters and replace the truncated text label charters with the ... character so the modified text label string fits in the selected position.
