==Overview==
  
For more information on '''inserting background images''', please see the article at: [[Inserting Background Images for Version 7.0 | Inserting Background Images]] <!--20.1.1-70-->
+
OnePager Pro ('''OPP''') provides expanded '''cloud''' access capabilities by supporting access to Microsoft Project Server and Project Online accounts. '''OPP''' can connect to '''cloud''' resident databases so that charts and snapshots can be '''created/updated''' directly from these '''source plans'''. 
 +
Additionally, '''OPP''' supports access to '''multiple accounts''', '''searches of online databases''' for specific '''source plans''', and '''online security protocols'''. With this feature, you are able to  '''access''' Microsoft Project '''source plans''' from the '''cloud''' and use the '''OPP Add-in and Standalone''' applications to '''create''', '''update''', and '''open''' charts.

Both '''OnePager Pro Add-in and Standalone''' support accessing your '''cloud''' resident files without the assistance of Microsoft Project Professional.  Additionally, both products can '''create''', '''update''', and '''open multi-project''' charts from '''source packages''' consisting of more than one Microsoft Project '''source plan'''.
  
Once a '''background image''' is '''inserted''' into the '''graph''', you have the controls necessary to mange the '''background image''' with respect to '''deleting, ordering, or changing''' to a different '''image''' as explained below.

===Deleting Background Images===
+
However, due to technical differences between Microsoft Project '''source plans''' resident on your computer and those that are '''cloud''' resident (i.e., Microsoft Project Server or Project Online), '''caution is recommended''' when '''mixing source plans''' from different '''media''' (i.e., your computer and the '''cloud'''). As a protection, both '''OnePager Pro Add-in and Standalone''' prohibit, to the extent possible, the combination of '''source plans''' from differing '''media''' being incorporated into a single '''source package''' for the purpose of creating a '''NEW''' chart or for '''UPDATING''' an existing chart. As an additional precaution, please be mindful of the setting of the '''Server method''' in the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Advanced''' tabs.  The '''Template Properties''' form's '''Advanced''' tab is shown below:
  
You have the option to '''delete''' a '''background image''' from the '''current snapshot''' or '''all snapshots''' by first right-clicking on the '''background image''' to access the '''background image''' right-click '''context menu''' and then making a selection from the '''Delete''' command and its sub-command as shown in the '''context menu''' below:

<center>[[File:P70-20_4_1-70-(1)-10292019.png]]</center>
+
This setting is critical to inform '''OPP Add-in''' of whether to access the '''cloud''' resident '''source plan''' directly or to access it via Microsoft Project.

====From Individual Snapshots====
+
==Using OnePager Pro with Server Resident Project Plans==
  
You have the option, as noted in the discussion above, to '''delete background images''' from '''individual snapshots'''.  To do this requires going to the desired '''snapshot''' and specifically using the '''Delete''' command with the '''From this snapshot''' sub-command to achieve the desired result.  This option works in the same way as '''deleting curtains''' from specific '''snapshots'''.
+
Both OnePager Pro ('''OPP''') products ('''Add-in and Standalone''') support access to your Microsoft Project Server or Project Online '''accounts'''.
  
For more information on '''Creating and managing curtains''', please see the article at:  [[Creating and Managing Curtains for Version 7.1 | Creating and Managing Curtains]] 16.0.1-71
+
===Using OnePager Pro Add-in===
  
====From All Snapshots====
+
If you are planning to use OnePager Pro's '''Add-in''' application, you are able to easily connect and access your '''accounts''' from Microsoft Project Professional (before launching '''OPP''').  We recommend that you use Microsoft Project Professional to connect, access, and verify before launching '''OPP Add-in''' from the Microsoft Project Professional tool bar. Once connected and '''account''' access is verified through Microsoft Project Professional, use the '''OPP Add-in''' application as you normally would to create '''NEW''' charts, '''UPDATE''' existing charts, or simply '''OPEN''' existing charts.  Please use the article referenced below to guide your use of '''OPP Add-in''' in the Microsoft Project Server or Project Online environments. 
  
You can also '''delete background images''' from '''all snapshots''' in one operation from any snapshot.  To do this '''select''' the '''background image''' to access the '''background image''' right-click '''context menu''', click the '''Delete''' command and the '''From all snapshots''' sub-command.  This option also works the same way as '''deleting curtains''' from '''all snapshots''' and you can use the reference links above for more information.
+
If you are '''UPDATING''' and previously set the '''Server method''' in the '''Template Properties''' or '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Advanced''' tab to '''Connect directly to Server''', you should open the '''Chart Properties'''form and change it to '''Use MS Project Professional''' if you want to use Microsoft Project to access the '''source plan''' data.

Overview

OnePager Pro (OPP) provides expanded cloud access capabilities by supporting access to Microsoft Project Server and Project Online accounts. OPP can connect to cloud resident databases so that charts and snapshots can be created/updated directly from these source plans. Additionally, OPP supports access to multiple accounts, searches of online databases for specific source plans, and online security protocols. With this feature, you are able to access Microsoft Project source plans from the cloud and use the OPP Add-in and Standalone applications to create, update, and open charts.

General Cautions

Both OnePager Pro Add-in and Standalone support accessing your cloud resident files without the assistance of Microsoft Project Professional. Additionally, both products can create, update, and open multi-project charts from source packages consisting of more than one Microsoft Project source plan.

For more information, please see the article at: Creating Various Multi-Project Charts with OnePager Pro and Express (Portal) 8.0.1-71

However, due to technical differences between Microsoft Project source plans resident on your computer and those that are cloud resident (i.e., Microsoft Project Server or Project Online), caution is recommended when mixing source plans from different media (i.e., your computer and the cloud). As a protection, both OnePager Pro Add-in and Standalone prohibit, to the extent possible, the combination of source plans from differing media being incorporated into a single source package for the purpose of creating a NEW chart or for UPDATING an existing chart. As an additional precaution, please be mindful of the setting of the Server method in the Template Properties and Chart Properties form's Advanced tabs. The Template Properties form's Advanced tab is shown below:

P70-8 5 1-(1)-05142020.png

This setting is critical to inform OPP Add-in of whether to access the cloud resident source plan directly or to access it via Microsoft Project.

Using OnePager Pro with Server Resident Project Plans

Both OnePager Pro (OPP) products (Add-in and Standalone) support access to your Microsoft Project Server or Project Online accounts.

Using OnePager Pro Add-in

If you are planning to use OnePager Pro's Add-in application, you are able to easily connect and access your accounts from Microsoft Project Professional (before launching OPP). We recommend that you use Microsoft Project Professional to connect, access, and verify before launching OPP Add-in from the Microsoft Project Professional tool bar. Once connected and account access is verified through Microsoft Project Professional, use the OPP Add-in application as you normally would to create NEW charts, UPDATE existing charts, or simply OPEN existing charts. Please use the article referenced below to guide your use of OPP Add-in in the Microsoft Project Server or Project Online environments.

If you are UPDATING and previously set the Server method in the Template Properties or Chart Properties form's Advanced tab to Connect directly to Server, you should open the Chart Propertiesform and change it to Use MS Project Professional if you want to use Microsoft Project to access the source plan data.

Using OnePager Pro Standalone

If you are planning to use OnePager Pro's Standalone application, the product supports connecting, accessing, and verifying your Microsoft Project Server or Project Online accounts. The article link below describes in detail how to use OPP Standalone to first connect, access, and verify access to your Microsoft Project Server or Project Online accounts. The article continues with specific tips on creating NEW charts, UPDATING existing charts, and OPENING existing charts.
