| − | ==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''':

| |
| − | ==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.
