| − | ==Overview==
| |
| | | | |
| − | The '''Comment Boxes''' tab is modified in version 7.1 and later to include a sub-control group supporting the '''enhanced Hover Box''' feature. This feature provides you with controls to: (1) control the '''font properties''' of the '''text elements''' shown in the '''Hover Box''' and to select an '''alternative source plan field''' in the '''Hover Box'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This article has two major sections, one devoted to the controls associated with '''Comment Boxes''' and the other providing details of the controls for the '''enhanced Hover Box''' feature. These two links below can be used to access either of these two major sections:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Comment boxes''' are attached to '''selected '''task bars/milestone symbols in the chart and are presented using the parameters initially set in the '''Comment Boxes''' tab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Application of Comment Box Tab Edits to the Chart==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Comment boxes''' are created in the chart by first selecting a task bar/milestone symbol and clicking the '''Comment Box''' icon on the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab shown here:

| |
| − | <center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(1A)-10202020.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Only one task bar/milestone symbol can be selected for the addition of a '''Comment box''' at a time. When you click the '''Comment Box icon''', the '''Create or edit comment box''' form is accesses as shown below:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The controls in the '''Comment Box''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form are '''applied to new '''Comment boxes created''' AFTER''' the '''edits''' to the form are made. If you make any '''edit''' in the '''Comment Box''' tab and click the '''OK''' button on the form, the '''NEXT Comment box created''' in the chart uses those '''edited parameters''' when '''creating''' the '''Comment box.''' If any changes are made to '''control/parameters''' in the '''Comment Box''' tab '''AFTER Comment boxes were created''' in the chart, these '''existing Comment boxes do not''' display the most recent '''edits''' made in the '''Comment Box''' tab.

| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(2-1)-07292022.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The standard '''Font properties''' form allows you to set the '''Comment box text's''' '''font type''', '''color''' using the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form, the '''font size''' in pixels, and the '''Bold -''' ''Italics'' '''- [[Underline]]''' settings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Box Size Controls===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Box Size''' sub-control group has two windows, shown below, that allow you to set the '''width and height''' in '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' for the dimensions of all '''Comment boxes''' depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used.

| |
| − | ===Box Offset from Anchor Controls===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the '''Set Globally''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', the '''X and Y values''' appearing in the windows adjacent to the right are '''enabled''' and can be '''edited''' to establish different '''horizontal and vertical''' displacements of the '''Comment boxes''' from their '''anchor''' locations on the task bars/milestone symbols as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(2B-1)-07292022.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The values for '''X''' and '''Y''' are in '''inches or centimeters''' depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used. The '''X''' value measures distance from the anchor in the horizontal direction form the anchor and the '''Y''' value measures distance from the anchor in the vertical direction. Values can be either '''positive''' or '''negative'''. If the '''Set Globally''' checkbox is checked '''OFF''', all '''Comment boxes''' created in the chart are all '''offset from their anchor point''' by the '''default values''' shown in the windows adjacent to the right as shown in the example below where the '''offsets''' are the '''default values''' of '''X=1.0''' and '''Y=1.0''':

| |
| − | ===Transparent, Connecting Line, and Background Color Controls===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Transparent''' checkbox when used in conjunction with the '''Show connecting lines when transparent''' checkbox are used to remove the '''Comment box's''' border while leaving the '''text''' untouched. When the '''Transparent''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', the '''Show connecting lines when transparent''' checkbox is '''enabled''' with its '''default''' value of checked '''OFF''', and the '''Background color''' is '''disabled''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |

| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(4-1)-07292022.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Transparent''' checkbox, when checked '''ON''', makes all '''Comment box''' and its '''connecting line''' subsequently '''created''' in the chart '''transparent''' as shown in the example below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(5)-10312019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(5)-10312019.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Show connecting lines when transparent Checkbox====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the '''Transparent''' checkbox is checked '''ON''' and the '''Show connecting lines when transparent''' checkbox is also checked '''ON''' the '''border''' of the '''Comment box''' is not shown but the '''connecting line''' to the '''Comment box's''' anchor point is displayed as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(6)-10312019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(6)-10312019.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Background Color====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Background Color''' dropdown provides access to the OnePager standard '''Color Chooser'''. The selected '''color''' fills the '''Comment box''', however, the '''connecting line''' and the '''border color''' of the '''comment box''' remain the same '''color''' as the '''selected''' task bar/milestone symbol as shown in the example below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(7)-12142021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(7)-12142021.png</center>
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(7-1)-07292022.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(7-1)-07292022.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''default Background color''' starts out always the same as the '''fill color''' of the task bar/milestone symbol to which the '''Comment box''' is anchored. The '''Background color''' is '''disabled''' when the '''Transparent''' checkbox is checked '''ON''' as discussed above.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Anchor Position Slider Bar Control===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Anchor Position slider bar''' sets the location along the task bar at which '''Comment boxes''' are '''anchored''' as illustrated below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(7A)-12142021.png]]</center>

| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(7A-1)-07292022.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''value''' of the '''position''' is a '''percentage of the duration''' of the task bar as measured from its '''Start date'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Below is an example of a '''Comment box positioned''' at the 25% '''position''' on the '''selected''' task bar:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Anchor Shape Selection Control===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Anchor marker''' control consists of two (2) controls as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(9)-12142021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(9)-12142021.png</center>
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(9-1)-07292022.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(9-1)-07292022.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''None''' checkbox, when checked '''ON''', '''disables''' the showing of any '''Anchor marker''' associated with all '''Comment boxes''' in the '''graph'''. With the '''None''' checkbox checked '''OFF''', the '''Anchor marker''' dropdown list is '''enabled''' and you can use this dropdown list to select an appropriate '''Anchor marker''' for all '''anchor points''' for '''Comment boxes''' in the chart. The list of '''Anchor markers''' are the same as the list of Milestone symbols available for use and found at the '''Milestones''' tab of the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' forms.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For more information on using the new '''Shape Chooser''' form for configuring '''Comment Box Anchor Shapes''', please see these links: [[Milestones Tab for Version 7.1#Shapes - New Milestone Symbol Shapes for Version 7.1 | Shapes - New Milestone Symbol Shapes for Version 7.1]] <!--21.5.1-71--> and [[Milestones Tab for Version 7.1#Other Enhanced Features | Other Enhanced Features]] <!--21.5.1-71-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Anchor Color Control===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Anchor Color''' dropdown provides access to the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' that you can use to establish the '''color''' of the '''Anchor marker''' as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(10)-12142021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(10)-12142021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As an example, selecting the '''color green''' for the '''Anchor marker color''' produces a '''Comment box''' with an '''Anchor marker''' that looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(11)-10312019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(11)-10312019.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you select an '''Emoji''' to serve as the '''anchor shape''', the '''Anchor color''' control is inoperative because '''Emojis''' have their colors fixed. Selection of a '''Dynamic shape''' allows an '''Anchor color''' to be applied.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Attach To All Snapshots Checkbox===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Attach to All Snapshots''' checkbox, shown below, when checked '''ON''' assures that all '''Comment box''' appears in '''all snapshots'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-21_11_1_7-71-(12)-12142021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-21_11_1_7-71-(12)-12142021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''default''' setting is to attach a new '''Comment boxes''' to all '''snapshots'''.
