| − | =Using Gradients and Hash Fill Patterns for OnePager Version 7.1 (P71-0_4_3-71-08112021.docx)=
| |
| | | | |
| − | ==Overview==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | OnePager version 7.1 is '''upgraded''' with the addition of twenty-six (26) new '''hash fill patterns''' for '''task bars''', '''milestone symbols''', '''deadlines''', and''' endpoints'''. Additionally, these '''new hash fill patterns''' are available options when you configure '''Conditional Formatting Rules '''for '''task bars/milestone symbols''' and other uses. Finally, the new '''hash fill patterns''' are now combined with the available options for selecting '''gradient fill patterns''' for '''task bars/milestone symbols''', '''deadlines''', and '''endpoints''' and all are available for use in '''Conditional Formatting Rules'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The purpose of this article is to '''overview''' the '''upgraded gradient '''and '''hash fill pattern '''features and the controls available to use these features in the '''Chart Editor'''. Additionally, several examples of use are provided.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | This article uses the '''Chart Properties''' form for most of its examples. For brevity, this article does not cover the features in the '''Template Properties '''form related to these version 7.1 '''upgrades''' because the controls in the '''Template Properties '''form are identical to those of the '''Chart Properties '''form.

| − | ==Making Global Changes to Gradient and Hash Fill Patterns for Task Bars/Milestones==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In addition to the '''gradient fill patterns''' currently available for differentiating '''task bars/ milestone symbols''', we added a set of twenty-six (26) '''hash fill patterns''' that can be used as described above. The '''gradient fill patterns''' are shown below as an example at the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Task Bars''' tab’s '''Fill dropdown''' in the '''Default Task Bar Styles''' sub-section:

| |
| − | ===Examples of Gradient Fill Patterns and Hash Fill Patterns===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Task Bars''' tab and the '''chart''' shown below, we can change the '''gradient fill pattern '''for all task bars/milestone symbols:

| − | <center>P71-0_4_3-71-(2)-08102021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In a similar way, starting with the original chart, all the task bars can have their '''fill patterns''' changed to a specific '''hash fill pattern''' as shown in the sequence below:

| − | ==Making Gradient and Hash Fill Patterns Changes to Individual Task Bars/Milestone Symbols==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Gradient fill patterns''' and '''hash fill patterns''' can also be applied to '''individually selected''' task bars/milestones symbols using the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form. If you '''select''' a task bar as shown in the illustration below by right-clicking on the task bar and then clicking the '''Format '''command in the '''right-click context menu''' shown, you can access the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties '''form at its '''Format '''tab:

| − | ==Making Global Changes to Gradient and Hash Fill Patterns for Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Decorations==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In addition to now being able to apply '''gradient fill patterns''' and '''hash fill patterns '''to task bars/milestone symbols, you can also apply these new features to '''baseline''', '''deadline''', and the '''four endpoint decorations'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Complete information on task bar/milestone '''decorations''' can be found in the article at: [[Modifying Decorations on Tasks/Milestones for Version 7.1 (Portal) | Modifying Decorations on Tasks/Milestones (Portal)]] 10.0.1-71.

| − | The controls for these '''task bar/milestone symbol decoration '''features are discussed below with specific examples.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Baseline Decorations===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To apply these features to '''baseline decorations '''you need to first access the '''Chart Properties '''form at the '''Task Bars''' or '''Milestones '''tabs. At the '''Task Bars '''or '''Milestones '''tab, navigate to the '''Task Bars Decorations''' section of the form and check the '''Baseline Properties '''checkbox '''ON'''. Then click the '''Baselines Properties '''button to access the '''Set baseline properties '''form as shown in the illustration below:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Deadline Decorations===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To apply these features to '''deadline decorations '''you need to first access the '''Chart Properties '''form at the '''Task Bars''' or '''Milestones '''tabs. At the '''Task Bars '''or '''Milestones '''tab, navigate to the '''Task Bars Decorations''' section of the form and check the '''Deadline Properties '''checkbox '''ON'''. Then click the '''Deadline Properties… '''button to access the '''Set deadline properties '''form as shown in the illustration below:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Endpoint Decorations===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To apply these features to '''endpoint decorations '''you need to first access the '''Chart Properties '''form at the '''Task Bars''' or '''Milestones '''tabs. At the '''Task Bars '''or '''Milestones '''tab, navigate to the '''Task Bars Decorations''' section of the form and check the '''Endpoint Properties '''checkbox '''ON'''. Then click the '''Endpoint Properties… '''button to access the '''Set endpoint properties '''form as shown in the illustration below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-0_4_3-71-(9-1)-08102021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-0_4_3-71-(9-1)-08102021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the actions taken above, '''Endpoint 1''' is modified to have a '''star shape''' and a specific '''hash fill pattern'''. To further illustrate '''endpoints''', '''Endpoint 2''' is also '''edited''' to give it a different '''shape''' and '''hash fill pattern''' for illustrative purposes. The '''edits '''made to the '''Set endpoint properties''' form for '''Endpoint 2 '''are shown below:

| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-0_4_3-71-(9A)-08102021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-0_4_3-71-(9A)-08102021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the '''endpoint shapes '''and '''hash fill patterns''' changes shown in the two illustrations above are applied to the chart, the chart looks like this:

| |
| − | ===Making Gradient and Hash Fill Patterns Changes to Individual Task Bar/Milestone Symbol Decorations===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Decorations '''for task bars and milestone symbols are applied '''globally'''. Although task bar/milestone symbol '''properties''' can be '''edited''' individually by '''manually selecting''' a task bar or milestone symbol and using the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties '''form’s '''Format '''tab to '''edit''' their '''properties''', it is not possible to '''edit''' the '''shape''', '''gradient fill pattern''', or '''hash fill pattern''' of individual '''baseline''', '''deadline''', or '''endpoint decorations'''. OnePager is configured such that all task bar/milestone symbol '''decorations '''take on '''global properties'''.

| |
| − | ==Using Gradient and Hash Fill Patterns in Conditional Formatting Rules – An Example==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Conditional Formatting Rules''' allow you to dynamically change the '''shape''', '''color''', and '''fill pattern''' of task bars/milestone symbols''' '''based upon a '''rule''' or '''set of rules''' driven by data OnePager '''imports''' from your '''source plan'''. In version 7.1 the enhancement for '''gradients '''and '''hash fill patterns '''is extended to '''conditional formatting rules'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Before proceeding further, if you need to refresh your knowledge of '''Conditional Formatting Rules''', please see the articles at: [[Conditional Formatting for Version 7.1 (Portal) | Conditional Formatting (Portal)]] 11.0.1-71.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Example – Starting Chart Configuration===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To illustrate the use of the new '''gradient '''and '''hash fill patterns''' suppose you are starting off with the chart shown below that consists of a project plan using five (5) different resources where OnePager has created the chart using different colors to represent different '''resources'''. When this is done, the '''Legend''' reflects the '''resources''' and the '''colors '''OnePager assigned. The chart looks like this:

| |
| − | ===Example – Adding Conditional Formatting Rules to Highlight an Issue===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Now suppose there is an issue with '''Team 1''' and '''Team 2''' and you want the chart you plan to use for this '''schedule conversation''' to have the tasks that are the responsibility of '''Team 1''' and '''Team 2''' to stand out clearly. This can be done by adding '''conditional formatting rules''' that apply different '''hash fill patterns''' to the task bars involved. Using the '''Conditional Formatting Rules''' form shown below, you can configure '''rules''' for '''Team 1''' and '''Team 2''':

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Example – Chart with Highlighted Task Bars Using Hash Fill Patterns===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Applying these two '''Conditional Formatting Rules '''to the chart, the chart looks like this:

| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P71-0_4_3-71-(13)-08112021.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <center>P71-0_4_3-71-(13)-08112021.png</center>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Conditional Formatting Rules''' can be formulated before the chart is created by adding the '''rules '''to the '''Conditional Formatting Rules''' form in the current '''Template Properties '''form.
