==OnePager Pro Add-in==

OnePager Pro and Express always supported the creation and showing of '''Task Links''' (previously called '''Event Links''').  The process for creating and editing '''Event Links''' was limited and totally manual. What was not previously possible was the capability to '''import Predecessors '''data from your Microsoft Project or Excel '''source plan '''and have OnePager produce a chart with these '''dependencies '''graphically displayed.  The two illustrations below show a simple Microsoft Project '''source plan '''with '''Predecessors '''data and the OnePager Pro chart created with the corresponding '''Task Links''':

Once charts are created, they can be '''re-opened''' from the '''OnePager Pro Start''' form. The purpose of this scenario is to retrieve a chart for inclusion in another presentation or to further '''edit''' the chart.

This methodology does not '''import''' new or old data from Microsoft Project, however, Microsoft Project needs to be launched so that you can access the '''OnePager Pro''' button on the Microsoft Project '''ADD-INS''' ribbon tool bar tab.

As an alternative, you can double-click on the desired chart’s '''.TAM''' file to '''open''' an existing chart as described in the article at [[Opening an EXISTING OnePager Chart for Version 7.1#OnePager Pro Standalone | OnePager Pro Standalone]] <!--7.5.2-71-->
+
==Overview==
  
−
The steps to '''open''' an EXISTING chart from within Microsoft Project are shown below:
+
With OnePager Pro and Express you have the following enhanced capabilities.
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-7_5_1-70-(1)-08082019.png]]</center>
+
===Imported Task Link Data from Source Plans===
−
<!--<center>P70-7_5_1-70-(1)-08082019.png</center>-->
+
  
−
===Procedures===
+
'''Task Link''' information can be '''imported''' from both Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel '''source plans '''and made available for display and '''editing''' in the chart.  '''Task Links''' imported from '''source plans''' are called '''Data-driven Task Links'''.  When discussing '''Data-driven Task Link imported''' from Microsoft Project, the capability is also supported to import '''Data-driven Task Links''' from Microsoft Project Server and Microsoft Project Online.
  
−
Launch Microsoft Project. With Microsoft Project running, launch OnePager and click the '''OPEN''' button on the '''OnePager Pro Start''' form.  OnePager displays a list of recently-used charts and a '''BROWSE FILES…''' option.  If you click '''BROWSE FILES…''', you access a Windows '''Open''' form where you can select a chart to '''open'''.
+
===Task Link Editing===
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-7_5_1-70-(2)-08082019.png]]</center>
+
'''Task Link''' '''editing''' capabilities are expanded so that you have a greater variety of options for formatting '''Task Link''' '''arrow shapes''', '''arrow''' '''sizes''', '''connection line''' options, '''connection line corner radii''', '''Task Link Dependency Types''', and '''Vertical and Horizontal Anchor points '''on task/milestone shapes. '''Manual editing''' capabilities are also enhanced so you can perform '''drag and drop''' operations and '''edit''' the''' properties''' of any and all '''Task Links '''using enhanced '''Task Link''' formatting options.  
−
<!--<center>P70-7_5_1-70-(2)-08082019.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Selecting a chart to '''open''' tells OnePager to load the chart and display it in the '''Chart Editor'''. '''Source plan''' data will not be '''imported''' from the selected Microsoft Project '''source plan'''. Once the chart is displayed and available, you can '''edit''', '''save''', and '''copy the chart''' to a Microsoft PowerPoint slide or elsewhere as described previously.  When a chart with multiple snapshots is '''opened''', you can switch between snapshots. There are two methods to do this.
+
Manual '''Task Links''' can be '''Daisy Chained''', that is, you can select more than two task bars/milestone symbols and create a series (i.e., '''daisy chain''') of manual '''Task Links''' connecting these task bars/milestone symbols. You have full control over '''Task Link '''formatting and which '''Task Links '''are '''shown''' or '''hidden''' in charts through the use of the new '''Task Links '''tabs on the '''Template''' and '''Chart Properties '''forms. There are '''Filtering control''' over '''showing''' (or '''hiding''')''' Task Links''' provided in a new '''Task Links Filter Rules '''form. In a similar fashion to how OnePager assists you to manage '''hidden tasks''', OnePager provides a '''Where Are My Links?''' form that lists '''Task Links '''specific to each snapshot and allows you to edit the '''show/hide status''' of any '''Task Link''' in a snapshot. You also have the capability to manually select a '''Task Link''' with a right-click and use '''task link''' right-click '''context menu''' to perform manual '''editing''' on the manual or '''Data-driven Task Link'''.  You can perform enhanced '''editing''' of manual '''Task Link properties''' with the enhanced '''Task Link Properties''' form.  
  
−
:1) The first is to use the '''forward/back''' arrows on the OnePager '''View''' ribbon tool bar tab to move between snapshot '''dates'''.  
+
OnePager Express is enhanced such that you can '''import Dependency''' values on tasks from Microsoft Excel '''source plans''' where the '''syntax format selection''' for specifying '''predecessor''' relationships corresponds to the Microsoft Project standards or the '''syntax format selection''' used by Oracle’s Primavera P6.
  
−
:2) The second method is to click the '''List All''' button  on the '''View''' ribbon tool bar tab which displays a list of all available snapshot '''dates''' for the chart as shown below:
+
===Task Links Based On Predecessor Data===
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-7_5_1-70-(3)-08082019.png]]</center>
+
OnePager Pro and Express are designed to process '''Task Links''' that are specified as '''Predecessors''' '''ONLY'''. Although OnePager does not import '''Successor '''data from your '''source plan''', '''successor '''information''' '''is the inverse on '''predecessor '''information found in your '''source plan'''. This approach guaranties that all your '''Data-driven''' '''Task Links''' are based on valid information from your Microsoft Project '''source plan'''.
−
<!--<center>P70-7_5_1-70-(3)-08082019.png</center>-->
+
  
−
In addition to '''editing''' the '''opened''' chart and switching between snapshots, you can also use the OnePager '''Data''' ribbon tool bar tab to '''replace snapshots''', '''add snapshots''', and '''perform custom updates'''.  The OnePager '''Data''' ribbon tool bar tab appears as shown below:
+
===Template Properties and Chart Properties Forms and Task Links===
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-7_5_1-(4)-05052020.png]]</center>
+
The '''Template Properties''' forms distributed with OnePager Pro and Express contain an enhanced '''Task Links''' tab with basic settings that can be tailored as needed. As with all '''Chart Properties''' tabs, the '''Task Links''' tab takes on the '''properties''' for '''Task Links''' based on the '''properties''' in the current '''Template Properties''' form. The '''properties''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Task Link''' tab can be '''edited''' at any time. Additionally, both '''Data-Driven''' and manual '''Task Links''' can be '''selected''' in the chart and '''edited''' individually.

Please use the Wiki article links below to access detailed information on the '''Data-driven Task Links''' feature and the enhancements made to manual '''Task Links''' in OnePager.  The articles in the top set of links below provide you with an '''overview''' to the new '''Data-driven Task Link''' feature and the enhancements made to the existing manual '''Task Link''' capabilities. The articles in the bottom set of links below provide detailed information on the '''importation''', '''management''', and '''editing''' of both '''Data-Driven Task Links''' and manual '''Task Links'''.

Once charts are created, they can be '''re-opened''' from the '''OnePager Pro Start''' form. The purpose of this scenario is to retrieve a chart for inclusion in another presentation or to further '''edit''' the chart. This methodology does not '''import''' new or old data from Microsoft Project.

Introduction to the OnePager Task Links

This article describes OnePager’s Task Links feature. Illustrations used in this article and the detailed articles referenced here are from OnePager Pro but the feature's function, controls, and manual edits apply equally to OnePager Express.


OnePager Pro and Express always supported the creation and showing of Task Links (previously called Event Links). The process for creating and editing Event Links was limited and totally manual. What was not previously possible was the capability to import Predecessors data from your Microsoft Project or Excel source plan and have OnePager produce a chart with these dependencies graphically displayed. The two illustrations below show a simple Microsoft Project source plan with Predecessors data and the OnePager Pro chart created with the corresponding Task Links:

P61-0 4 1 7-61-(1-1)-04272018.png
P70-19 0 1-70-(2)-09282020.png

The tables below contain links to detailed information on importing, managing, and editing Task Links: Links to All Detailed Task Link Articles 19.0.1-71

Overview

With OnePager Pro and Express you have the following enhanced capabilities.

Imported Task Link Data from Source Plans

Task Link information can be imported from both Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel source plans and made available for display and editing in the chart. Task Links imported from source plans are called Data-driven Task Links. When discussing Data-driven Task Link imported from Microsoft Project, the capability is also supported to import Data-driven Task Links from Microsoft Project Server and Microsoft Project Online.

Task Link Editing

Task Link editing capabilities are expanded so that you have a greater variety of options for formatting Task Link arrow shapes, arrow sizes, connection line options, connection line corner radii, Task Link Dependency Types, and Vertical and Horizontal Anchor points on task/milestone shapes. Manual editing capabilities are also enhanced so you can perform drag and drop operations and edit the properties of any and all Task Links using enhanced Task Link formatting options.

Manual Task Links can be Daisy Chained, that is, you can select more than two task bars/milestone symbols and create a series (i.e., daisy chain) of manual Task Links connecting these task bars/milestone symbols. You have full control over Task Link formatting and which Task Links are shown or hidden in charts through the use of the new Task Links tabs on the Template and Chart Properties forms. There are Filtering control over showing (or hiding) Task Links provided in a new Task Links Filter Rules form. In a similar fashion to how OnePager assists you to manage hidden tasks, OnePager provides a Where Are My Links? form that lists Task Links specific to each snapshot and allows you to edit the show/hide status of any Task Link in a snapshot. You also have the capability to manually select a Task Link with a right-click and use task link right-click context menu to perform manual editing on the manual or Data-driven Task Link. You can perform enhanced editing of manual Task Link properties with the enhanced Task Link Properties form.

OnePager Express is enhanced such that you can import Dependency values on tasks from Microsoft Excel source plans where the syntax format selection for specifying predecessor relationships corresponds to the Microsoft Project standards or the syntax format selection used by Oracle’s Primavera P6.

Task Links Based On Predecessor Data

OnePager Pro and Express are designed to process Task Links that are specified as Predecessors ONLY. Although OnePager does not import Successor data from your source plan, successor information is the inverse on predecessor information found in your source plan. This approach guaranties that all your Data-driven Task Links are based on valid information from your Microsoft Project source plan.

Template Properties and Chart Properties Forms and Task Links

The Template Properties forms distributed with OnePager Pro and Express contain an enhanced Task Links tab with basic settings that can be tailored as needed. As with all Chart Properties tabs, the Task Links tab takes on the properties for Task Links based on the properties in the current Template Properties form. The properties in the Chart Properties form's Task Link tab can be edited at any time. Additionally, both Data-Driven and manual Task Links can be selected in the chart and edited individually.
