| − | ==Label Text Element Ordering (P70-10_17_1-70-02052021)==
| |
| | | | |
| − | ===Overview===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In previous version of OnePager Pro and Express two or more '''text elements''' such as task labels, date labels, or percent complete values associated with a task bar/milestone symbol were represented in the '''graph''' horizontally in a fixed order left to right. OnePager version 7.0 provides the capabilities and controls for you to change '''text element ordering''' as well as select for '''horizontal''' or '''vertical''' positioning of that order.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The controls for '''label text element ordering''' are found in the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties''' forms at the '''Task Bars''' and '''Milestones '''tabs. '''Label text element ordering''' controls for OnePager Pro and OnePager Express are the same and functions the same in both products. The '''Change Label Text Element Ordering''' button is shown below in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Task Bars''' tab:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Clicking the '''Change Label Text Element Ordering '''button accesses the '''Change Text Element Ordering Change Label Text Element Order''' form shown below:

| |
| − | <center>P70-10_0_1-(4B)-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When '''task bar name labels''', '''date labels''', and '''percent compete values''' are shown in the chart, a typical chart looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(1)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(1)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Ordering Options===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | At the top of the '''Change Text Element Order''' form there are four radio buttons. These radio buttons represent the four options available for ordering the three '''text elements''' with respect to their parent task bar/milestone symbol. These options are discussed below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Order Text Element Left to Right====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With '''left to right ordering''', the '''first text element''' (identified in the '''Order '''windows in the lower portion of the form) appears to the '''left '''of the other '''text elements'''. This is the '''default ordering''' and is shown in the two illustrations above. This option is typically used when you position task bar/milestone symbol '''text elements''' in '''Label positions''' that are '''horizontally oriented''' such as '''Left''', '''Right''', '''Best fit left/right''', and '''Best fit in task bar'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Order Top to Bottom====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''top to bottom ordering''' is typically uses in situations where you want to keep the '''text elements '''compact horizontally. This option is typically used when you position task bar/milestone symbol '''text elements''' in '''Label positions''' such as '''Above''', '''Below''', '''Best fit above/below''', and '''Best fit all directions'''. In many cases it is useful also to increase the '''height of the row''' so that sufficient room is provided for up to three '''text elements '''as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(2-1)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(2-1)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As for an example, the chart portion looks like this with '''text element Label position '''remaining as '''Best fit left/right''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(3-1)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(3-1)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Order Horizontal Inside to Outside====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The third option radio button, when selected, '''orders text elements horizontally inside to outside'''. This means that the '''first text element''' is always '''closest to the task bar''', the next '''text element''' is further to the '''left''', and the '''third text '''element''' is furthest to the '''left'''. This '''text element ordering''' option is best used when '''text elements '''are to appear in the chart in '''horizontal '''arrangements. This update to the '''Change Text Element Order '''form is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(4)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(4)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When this '''ordering '''is''' '''applied to the chart, it looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(3)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(3)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Notice that regardless of the sequencing of the three '''text elements''', the designated '''first text element''' is always '''closest''' to the task bar.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Order Vertically Inside to Outside====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The last option radio button, when selected, '''orders text elements vertically inside to outside'''. This means that the '''first text element''' is always '''closest''' to the task bar, the next '''text element''' is further away from the task bar, and the '''third text element''' is furthest away from the task bar in '''vertical orientation'''. This '''text element ordering''' option is best used when '''text elements '''are to appear in the chart in '''vertical '''arrangements.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To make an example that is different from the previous examples, we’ll modify the '''Chang Text Element Order '''form to show '''Date Labels '''as the '''first text element in the ordering'''. The corresponding '''Change Text Element Order '''form is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(5)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(5)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When this change is applied to the chart, along with appropriate '''heightening of rows''' and selecting the '''Best fit above/below text element Label position''', a selected portion of the chart looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(6-1)-70-02052021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(6-1)-70-02052021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Again notice that regardless of the sequencing of the three '''text elements''', the designated '''first text element''' is always '''closest''' to the task bar. In the illustration above, the '''first text element '''is '''Date label(s)'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Text Element Order Sequencing===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The lower portion of the '''Change Text Element Order''' form provides you with the controls to change the '''sequence of text elements''' as they are used in the four '''ordering options''' discussed in the previous sub-section. The '''default settings''' are:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Task/milestone label – First'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Date label(s) – Second'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * '''Percent Complete - Third'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Changing the '''text element order sequence''' changes the order of '''text elements''' applied to the chart when one of the four '''ordering options''' is selected.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Relationship to Other Text Element Positioning Controls===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Change Text Element Order''' form is used to make '''global''' changes to '''text element ordering''' in the chart. That said, you can always use the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar’s '''Label position '''dropdown to change the '''label position '''of any of the three possible '''text elements '''by individually selecting the '''text element '''and making the manual '''Label position '''change.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using the chart shown below as a starting point, the '''text elements '''are '''ordered left to right''' with the '''Date label(s)''' as the '''First text element '''in the '''sequence''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(7)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(7)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For this example, suppose we select the '''Percent complete value''' of the '''Create Working Plan''' task bar of '''50% '''change its position in the row to the left of the task bar. This can be done in two steps:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :1) Click on the '''50% '''value in the task bar’s row to select the value. This places a selection rectangle around the '''text element''' and '''enables '''the '''Label position '''dropdown on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(8)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(8)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :2) Go to the '''enabled Label Position '''dropdown list and click on the '''Left''' position option. The result is that the '''50% value''' is repositioned to the '''left '''of the task bar and the remaining '''text elements '''are unchanged as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-10_17_1-(9)-70-02042021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P70-10_17_1-(9)-70-02042021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Please be advised that in some cases, repositioning '''text elements''' can trigger the '''text collision avoidance algorithm '''to operate if the '''text collision avoidance''' feature is turned '''ON'''.
