+
  
−
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) Given the chart below where the '''Top''', '''Middle''', and '''Bottom Time Axis Levels '''in Year, Quarter, and Month are ordered from '''top''' to '''bottom''', you can '''exchange '''the '''Middle Level''' with the '''Top Level''' by clicking the '''up arrow '''in the '''Re-Order Levels''' control group in the '''Chart Properties ''' form shown below:
  
−
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.
+
4) When you click the '''Apply''' or '''OK '''button in the '''Chart Properties '''form the '''Top''' and '''Middle Levels '''are '''exchanged''' as shown here:
  
−
:b) Accordingly, there are certain additional controls that are provided for creating and managing three '''swimlane levels '''instead of just one.

 +
<center><X70-22_3_6-70-(12)-11182020.png></center>
  
−
: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.
+
5) This is a useful shortcut when you want to make the '''exchange''' quickly without going through the process of manually accessing each '''Time Axis Levels '''involved and manually changing the '''Tic unit '''and '''Label format '''setting in each '''Time Axis Level''' participating in the '''exchange'''.

5) What follows from this point is an overview of the controls available in the redesigned '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form.
+
1) The chart can display '''Time Axis Levels''' at either the '''top''', '''bottom, '''or in both positions in the chart.
  
−
==Rows==
+
2) This is controlled in the '''Chart Properties '''form at the '''Time Axis '''tab’s '''Calendar '''sub-tab in the '''Formatting & Layout '''control group as shown below:
  
−
===Task Layout Sub-Control Group===

 +
<center><X70-22_3_6-70-(3)-11182020.png></center>
  
−
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'''.
+
3) Identical controls for '''Time Axis Location''' are provided in the '''Template Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab '''Calendar '''sub-tab.
  
−
2) The '''row''' is the basic horizontal strip where task bars/milestone symbols are placed by OnePager when the chart is created or updated.
+
4) If the '''Time Axis '''is being '''located''' at both the '''top''' and '''bottom''' of the chart, OnePager Express performs the '''exchange '''automatically for both '''Time Axis '''displays.
  
−
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) The chart below '''locates''' the '''Time Axis '''at both the '''Top '''and '''Bottom '''of the chart:
  
−
4) OnePager Pro and Express are distributed with '''Template Properties''' forms that support both '''Gantt chart layouts''' and '''Timeline layouts'''.

 +
<center><X70-22_3_6-70-(4)-11182020.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) If we use the '''Re-Order Levels''' control group in the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab’s '''Top Level '''sub-tab to '''exchange '''the '''Top Level '''with the '''Middle Level''', the two '''Time Axis '''displays in the chart above look like this''':'''

===Row Border Formatting… Button===
+
7) Comparing the two illustrations above it is shown that the Year and Quarter '''Time Axis Tic Units''' in their respective '''Time Axis Levels''' are '''exchanged'''.
  
−
7) Clicking the '''Row Border Formatting… '''button access the '''Row Formatting''' form as shown here:
+
===Floating Time Axis Displays and Re-Ordering===
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(2)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
8) If '''Floating Time Axes '''are '''located''' within the chart and the '''Floating Time Axis Levels''' are consistent with the '''Time Axis Level exchange '''being performed, OnePager Express makes appropriate '''exchanges '''for the '''Floating Time Axes''' as well.
−
<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'''.
+
9) Using the example above, three '''Floating Time Axes '''can be easily added to the original chart display.
  
−
9) '''Row borders''' may overlap '''borders''' for '''swimlane levels''' and the '''interior frame''' of the '''graph area'''.
+
10) For illustrative purposes the '''Floating Time Axes '''added to the chart are in '''Top Level '''to '''Bottom Level '''order although the '''Floating Time Axis '''order in the chart is immaterial to the example.
  
−
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

 +
<center><X70-22_3_6-70-(6-1)-11182020.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.
+
12) If we use the '''Re-Order Levels''' control group in the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab’s '''Top Level '''sub-tab to again '''exchange '''the '''Top Level '''with the '''Middle Level''', the two '''Time Axis '''displays in the chart above with the '''Floating Time Axes '''look like this:

==Swimlanes==
+
13) Comparing the pair of illustrations above with the '''Floating Time Axes''', it is shown that the Year and Quarter '''Time Axis Tic Units''' in their respective '''Time Axis Levels''' and '''Floating Time Axis Levels '''are '''exchanged'''.
  
−
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:
+
14) For more information on the '''Floating Time Axis''', please see the article at: [[The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express]]. 22.3.10-70
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-21_2_1-70-(3)-10142020.png]]</center>
+
15) Where the '''Floating Time Axes located''' in the chart do not correspond exactly to those '''Time Axis Levels located '''in the '''Top''' and/or''' Bottom Time Axis locations''', OnePager Express performs the '''Time Axis Level exchange''' if the '''Floating Time Axis '''has at least one of the corresponding '''Time Axis Levels''' as illustrated below.
−
<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'''.
+
16) Suppose the '''Time Axes '''and '''Floating Time Axes '''are configured and '''located '''as shown below where the '''Floating Time Axes '''consist only of Quarters and Months:
  
−
===Swimlane Left#1, Left#2, and Left#3 Sub-Tabs===
+
<center>[[File:X70-22_3_6-70-(8)-11182020.png]]</center>
 +
<center><X70-22_3_6-70-(8)-11182020.png></center>
  
−
3) OnePager supports three (3) '''swimlane levels '''that are named '''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', and '''Left#3'''. 
+
17) Performing the '''Time Axis Level re-ordering''' used in the previous examples (i.e., '''Exchanging '''the '''Top Time Axis Level '''with the '''Middle Time Axis Level'''), produces this result in the chart:
  
−
:a) These sub-tab names are consistently used throughout OnePager Pro and Express and in this documentation.
+
<center>[[File:X70-22_3_6-70-(9)-11182020.png]]</center>
 +
<center><X70-22_3_6-70-(9)-11182020.png></center>
  
−
: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.
+
18) The result above is that the '''Floating Time Axis Top Level '''is '''exchanged '''with the '''Floating Time Axis Middle Level''' as expected.   
  
−
: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) However, since only the '''Middle '''and '''Bottom Floating Time Axes''' were inserted into the chart, the '''exchange''' only shows the Year replacing the Quarters in the '''Floating Time Axis location'''.
  
−
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.
+
20) Since there can be several single or sets of '''Floating Time Axes located''' in the chart, '''exchanges''' of '''Levels''' are consistent depending on the '''Levels''' incorporated into the displayed '''Floating Time Axes'''.

Overview

1) OnePager Express has the capability to manually re-order the Time Axis Levels shown in the chart very easily.

2) The Time Axis Re-Ordering capability is available in the Template Properties and Chart Properties form's Time Axis tab's Top, Middle, and Bottom sub-tabs.

Re-Ordering Example

3) Given the chart below where the Top, Middle, and Bottom Time Axis Levels in Year, Quarter, and Month are ordered from top to bottom, you can exchange the Middle Level with the Top Level by clicking the up arrow in the Re-Order Levels control group in the Chart Properties form shown below:

X70-22 3 6-70-(1)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(1)-11182020.png>


4) When you click the Apply or OK button in the Chart Properties form the Top and Middle Levels are exchanged as shown here:

X70-22 3 6-70-(2)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(12)-11182020.png>

5) This is a useful shortcut when you want to make the exchange quickly without going through the process of manually accessing each Time Axis Levels involved and manually changing the Tic unit and Label format setting in each Time Axis Level participating in the exchange.

Re-Ordering Time Axis Levels

Top and Bottom Time Axis Displays in the Chart

1) The chart can display Time Axis Levels at either the top, bottom, or in both positions in the chart.

2) This is controlled in the Chart Properties form at the Time Axis tab’s Calendar sub-tab in the Formatting & Layout control group as shown below:

X70-22 3 6-70-(3)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(3)-11182020.png>

3) Identical controls for Time Axis Location are provided in the Template Properties form Time Axis tab Calendar sub-tab.

4) If the Time Axis is being located at both the top and bottom of the chart, OnePager Express performs the exchange automatically for both Time Axis displays.

5) The chart below locates the Time Axis at both the Top and Bottom of the chart:

X70-22 3 6-70-(4)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(4)-11182020.png>

6) If we use the Re-Order Levels control group in the Chart Properties form Time Axis tab’s Top Level sub-tab to exchange the Top Level with the Middle Level, the two Time Axis displays in the chart above look like this:

X70-22 3 6-70-(5)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(5)-11182020.png>

7) Comparing the two illustrations above it is shown that the Year and Quarter Time Axis Tic Units in their respective Time Axis Levels are exchanged.

Floating Time Axis Displays and Re-Ordering

8) If Floating Time Axes are located within the chart and the Floating Time Axis Levels are consistent with the Time Axis Level exchange being performed, OnePager Express makes appropriate exchanges for the Floating Time Axes as well.

9) Using the example above, three Floating Time Axes can be easily added to the original chart display.

10) For illustrative purposes the Floating Time Axes added to the chart are in Top Level to Bottom Level order although the Floating Time Axis order in the chart is immaterial to the example.

11) The sample chart looks like this:

X70-22 3 6-70-(6-1)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(6-1)-11182020.png>

12) If we use the Re-Order Levels control group in the Chart Properties form Time Axis tab’s Top Level sub-tab to again exchange the Top Level with the Middle Level, the two Time Axis displays in the chart above with the Floating Time Axes look like this:

X70-22 3 6-70-(7-1)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(7-1)-11182020.png>

13) Comparing the pair of illustrations above with the Floating Time Axes, it is shown that the Year and Quarter Time Axis Tic Units in their respective Time Axis Levels and Floating Time Axis Levels are exchanged.

14) For more information on the Floating Time Axis, please see the article at: The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express. 22.3.10-70

15) Where the Floating Time Axes located in the chart do not correspond exactly to those Time Axis Levels located in the Top and/or Bottom Time Axis locations, OnePager Express performs the Time Axis Level exchange if the Floating Time Axis has at least one of the corresponding Time Axis Levels as illustrated below.

16) Suppose the Time Axes and Floating Time Axes are configured and located as shown below where the Floating Time Axes consist only of Quarters and Months:

X70-22 3 6-70-(8)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(8)-11182020.png>

17) Performing the Time Axis Level re-ordering used in the previous examples (i.e., Exchanging the Top Time Axis Level with the Middle Time Axis Level), produces this result in the chart:

X70-22 3 6-70-(9)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(9)-11182020.png>

18) The result above is that the Floating Time Axis Top Level is exchanged with the Floating Time Axis Middle Level as expected.

19) However, since only the Middle and Bottom Floating Time Axes were inserted into the chart, the exchange only shows the Year replacing the Quarters in the Floating Time Axis location.

20) Since there can be several single or sets of Floating Time Axes located in the chart, exchanges of Levels are consistent depending on the Levels incorporated into the displayed Floating Time Axes.

Re-Ordering Time Axis Levels in the Template Form

1) The Re-Order Levels control group shown in the Chart Properties form examples above is also available in the Template Properties form at the Time Axis tab’s Top, Middle, and Bottom Time Axis Levels:

X70-22 3 6-70-(10)-11182020.png
<X70-22_3_6-70-(10)-11182020.png>

2) Making exchanges in the Template Properties form applies these exchanges to any Chart Properties and chart created with the modified Template Properties form.

3) It is important to remember when making edits to the Template Properties form that the form must be saved before it can be used successfully to create a chart and/or snapshots with the Template Properties form’s edits applied.

4) For more information on the Template Properties form, please see the article at: Managing Templates (Portal). 24.0.1-70

Re-Ordering Time Axis Levels in Chart Properties Forms Converted into Template Forms

5) Conversely, if any Chart Properties form with exchanged Time Axis Levels is made into a Template Properties form and saved, subsequent use of the saved Template Properties form utilizes the exchanged Time Axis Levels in charts and snapshots produced under the modified Template Properties form.
