The OnePager '''column splitting''' feature allows you to '''duplicate task bars''' when a task in your Asana '''source plan''' is assigned to '''multiple resources''' (or anything else).  Because assignments from Asana often are '''comma-delimited''', this feature enables OnePager to '''parse the comma-delimited list''' and '''create a unique task bar''' for each instance in the '''comma-separated''' list.

Each of these controls are described in the subsections below.

Say you want to use '''color-codes''' on task bars/milestone symbols based upon your Asana '''source plan’s Assigned to''' column as shown below:

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
===Page Size Selection===
+
Some of the entries in the '''Assigned to''' column consist of multiple, '''comma-separated''' items and some tasks only used one '''resource'''.  Without the '''column splitting''' feature, a chart '''created''' from these data and assigned task bar/milestone symbol '''colors''' based upon the '''Assigned to''' column looks like this:
  
The '''Page Size''' button is active in all '''View modes'''. Clicking the '''Page Size''' button accesses the '''Page Size''' dropdown menu where you can change the selection of the '''output page product size'''. The '''Page Size''' dropdown menu looks like this:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>

+
OnePager, in this case, treats the '''entire string''' as an individual '''Assigned to''' value. To provide more flexibility in displaying task bars that have '''multiple resources''' assigned, OnePager supports the concept of a '''column splitting'''.  This feature recognizes '''comma-separated''' values in a '''designated column''' and '''creates a separate task bar''' for each of the '''comma-separated''' values.
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(2)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
  
In the list of '''page sizes''', the '''arrow''' at the bottom of the list (as shown above) and an '''arrow''' at the top of the list are not '''clickable'''.  Rather you can scroll up and down the list by using your '''keyboard up and down arrow buttons'''.
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
===Printer Selection===
+
To use this feature requires turning '''ON''' the feature in the Asana '''Template Properties''' form you intend to use to make the chart.  The setting must be turned '''ON''' before the chart is created so launch OnePager Bundle from the '''desktop icon''', click the '''NEW''' button on the '''OnePager Bundle Start''' form to access the '''OnePager choices''' form, '''select''' your Asana '''source plan''', and type in the chart's '''title''' as shown here:
  
The list of '''page size''' selections is determined from your printer selection made in the '''Page Layout''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form or the '''Template Properties''' form.  The setting in the '''Chart Properties''' form is shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-(3)-05142020.png]]</center>
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-(3)-05142020.png</center>-->
+
  
Whenever you change printers and the new printer has a different list of '''page sizes''', OnePager adopts that list of '''page sizes''' and display them in the '''Printer choice:''' dropdown menu. Making a change to the '''page size''' selection can have an impact on how the pages appear in the '''output media'''.  The appearance can be easily checked by clicking the '''Print Preview''' button.  The position of '''page breaks''' can also change if a change is made to the '''Page Size''' selection.  Accordingly, '''Page Size''' selection is applied to the '''document’s size''' and OnePager fits the chart to '''fit best''' within that '''document size'''. '''Page Size''' selections made with the '''Page Size''' dropdown menu are independent of '''snapshot'''.  That is, a selection made in any '''snapshot''' is applied to all '''snapshots'''.

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
==Page Breaks==
+
Clicking the '''Edit current template''' button accesses the current '''Template Properties''' form.  Navigate to the '''Field Mappings''' tab on the form, check the '''Enable splitting on:''' checkbox to '''ON''' and (in this example) select the '''Assigned To''' column from the dropdown list provided.  The results are shown here:
  
OnePager supports both '''Vertical and Horizontal Page Breaks'''.  The '''Page Break''' button on the '''Page Layout''' ribbon tool bar tab accesses the '''Page Break''' control options shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(4)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
Click the '''Save and use''' button to complete the process and close the current '''Template Properties''' form returning you to the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form show above.
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(4)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
  
OnePager has the capability to insert '''page breaks''' automatically depending on a number of factors.  '''Page Breaks''' are displayed in the '''Page Break View mode''' as follows:
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
:* '''Automatic page breaks''' are represented by '''dashed gray lines''' and  
+
Clicking the '''Create new chart''' button completes the process and creates the chart with the '''column splitting''' feature in use.  The chart with '''splitting''' looks like this:
:* '''Manual page breaks''' are represented by '''solid gray lines'''.   
+
  
The options available under the '''Page Break''' button allow you to:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
:* '''Insert''' a '''vertical page break''',
+
In the chart with '''column splitting''' shown above, there are now several more task bars in the '''Chart Editor''' than there were before.  The task bar for '''Plate Movement''' is now '''split into two (2) separate task bars''', one for each of the '''two resources assigned'''.  The task bar for '''Centrifugal Barrier''' is now '''split into three (3) separate task bars''', one for each of the '''three resources''' that were assigned to this task in the Asana '''source plan'''.  Each of the '''resources''' has a unique '''color''' assigned.  Each of the '''resources''' appears by itself in the '''Legend'''.  The '''Legend title''' shows the '''column name''' that is used for '''splitting the columns'''.
:* '''Insert''' a '''horizontal page break''',  
+
:* '''Remove''' all '''inserted page breaks''', and
+
:* '''Remove''' all '''page breaks'''.   
+
  
Each of these options are discussed in the three (3) sub-sections that immediately follow.
+
With this feature, you can use '''column splitting''' just like any other column by using the dropdowns in the '''Template Properties''' form or '''Chart Properties''' form to assign '''colors, highlight task bars and milestone symbols, and to define and label rows and swimlanes'''.
  
===Insert Vertical Page Breaks=== 
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
When the '''Insert vertical page break''' option is selected, OnePager changes the '''cursor''' to a '''plus''', places a '''dark horizontal line''' in the chart that is responsive to the movement of the mouse, and snaps the '''vertical page break''' to the '''nearest row boundary'''.  Upon left-clicking, the '''vertical page break''' is '''inserted''' as shown below:
+
When task bars with '''Data-Driven''' or manual '''Task Links''' are '''split''', the '''Task Links''' ('''Data-Driven''' and manual) are '''not shown'''.  Further, the '''Task Links''' that are now '''hidden''' and '''do not''' have entries in the '''Where are My Links?''' form.
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(5)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(5)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
After left-clicking, OnePager completes the '''vertical page break insertion''' and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(6)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(6)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When you '''add''' a '''vertical page break manually''', the integer in the '''Height''' window is increased by one (1).  Likewise, when '''add''' a '''horizontal page break manually''', the integer in the '''Width''' window is increased by one (1).  Removing '''manual page breaks''' does not decrease these numbers back to their previous values in all cases.  In these situations, you can manually reset these numbers back to their desired values.  '''Note''' that setting these numbers to '''lower values''' can cause some or all of the '''manual or automatic page breaks''' to be '''deleted''', with '''automatic page breaks''' being '''deleted''' first. If the '''Height''' and '''Width''' window settings in the '''Document Fitting''' group of the '''Page Layout''' tab are either or both set to '''Automatic''', OnePager makes changes to the number of '''pages''' in order to retain the '''aspect ratio''' of the document.  An example is provided below, where the '''Height''' and '''Width''' settings are '''Automatic''', the original number of '''pages''' was determined to be four (4) and you inserted a '''vertical page break''' as in the previous example:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(7)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(7)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Looking at the above chart in '''Print Preview''' view mode, the '''pages''' are configured as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(8)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(8)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Insert Horizontal Page Breaks===
+
 
+
The procedure and conventions applicable to the '''insertion''' of a '''vertical page break''' applies as well to the '''insertion''' of the '''horizontal page break'''.  When '''inserting''' a '''horizontal page break''', the '''cursor''' is changed to a '''plus''' sign, and a '''vertical line''' is moved from left to right, snapping at smallest '''time unit''' on the '''time axis''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(9)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(9)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
After left-clicking, OnePager completes the '''horizontal page break insertion''' and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(10)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(10)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''horizontal page break insertion''' action is completed, the resulting chart looks like this in '''Print Preview view mode''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(11)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(11)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Removing Page Breaks===
+
 
+
There are two (2) options available for '''removing page breaks''' from the chart:
+
 
+
:* '''Removing all page breaks''' and
+
:* '''Removing manually inserted page breaks'''.
+
 
+
These options are shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(12)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(12)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The '''Remove all inserted page breaks''' option '''removes''' all '''manually inserted page breaks''' both '''horizontal''' and '''vertical''' if present in the chart.  '''Removing''' all '''manual page breaks''' by this method can still leave some '''automatic page breaks''' depending on the '''document size''' and how the '''automatic page number''' selections are made for the '''Width''' and '''Height''' values. The '''Remove all page breaks''' option '''removes all manual page breaks''' previously '''inserted''' as well as '''all automatically inserted page breaks'''. The '''values''' for the '''Width''' and '''Height''' are reset back to one (1). The '''Chart Editor''' remains in '''Page Break view mode''' after either of these two options are exercised in the chart.
+
 
+
===Moving a Vertical or Horizontal Page Break=== 
+
 
+
You can change in the location of '''page breaks''' by using the mouse to '''drag and drop''' them. This is done by first moving the mouse over the '''page break''' where it changes shape to a '''double-pointed arrow''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(13)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(13)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
With the '''double-pointed arrow''' positioned over the '''page break''', hold down the mouse left-click button and move the selected '''horizontal page break''' to the '''left or right''' or move the selected '''vertical page break''' '''up or down''' as shown here for the '''horizontal page break''' selected in the illustration above:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(14)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(14)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the left-click mouse button is released, the the cursor returns to its '''normal shape''' and the '''page break''' is snapped into the closest position consistent with the type of '''page break''' as shown below for a '''horizontal page break''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(15)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(15)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
'''Page Break View mode''' is the only '''mode''' in which you can interact with '''page breaks''' on the screen.
+
 
+
===Changing the Number of Pages for Width and Height===
+
 
+
You can also change the number of '''pages''' desired in the '''vertical''' and '''horizontal''' directions by '''manually changing''' the numeric values in the '''Document Fitting''' control group's '''Width''' and/or '''Height''' value widows and illustrated below for the '''Width''' window:  
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(16)-09032019.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-8_6_1_2_1-70-(16)-09032019.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Accessing either the '''Width''' or the '''Height''' windows displays the '''page number options'''.  Making a selection with your mouse immediately changes the '''page number''' setting and the '''Chart Editor''' is updated to show the '''automatic page breaks''' created as a result of the action. For more information concerning the use of the controls in the '''Document Fitting''' control group of the '''Page Layout''' tab, please see this article:  [[Document Fitting for Version 7.0 | Document Fitting]] <!--8.6.1.2.2-70-->
+
 
+
The capability to '''insert manual vertical and horizontal page breaks''', in combination with the '''Page Size''' dropdown lists, provides extremely fine control over the '''final output media''' whether that '''output media''' is destin for a printer, is copied to some other application, or rendered as an image.
+
 
+
==Copying Pages to the Clipboard==
+
 
+
In a '''multi-page''' chart you have options available to '''copy''' the chart or '''portions''' of the chart to the Windows '''clipboard'''. The three (3) options available are:
+
 
+
:* '''Copy an entire document''' to the Windows clipboard,
+
:* '''Copy the current page''' (where the '''current page''' is the '''last clicked page''' in a multi-page chart, or to
+
:* '''Copy a specific page number'''.

Introduction

This article is focused on using the Column Splitting feature with OnePager Bundle Standalone and imported Asana source plans.

About Splitting and Parsing Fields

The OnePager column splitting feature allows you to duplicate task bars when a task in your Asana source plan is assigned to multiple resources (or anything else). Because assignments from Asana often are comma-delimited, this feature enables OnePager to parse the comma-delimited list and create a unique task bar for each instance in the comma-separated list.

Split Resource Names Example

Say you want to use color-codes on task bars/milestone symbols based upon your Asana source plan’s Assigned to column as shown below:

P72-24 5 3-72-(1)-11022023.png
P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png

Some of the entries in the Assigned to column consist of multiple, comma-separated items and some tasks only used one resource. Without the column splitting feature, a chart created from these data and assigned task bar/milestone symbol colors based upon the Assigned to column looks like this:

P72-24 5 3-72-(5)-11272023.png
P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png

OnePager, in this case, treats the entire string as an individual Assigned to value. To provide more flexibility in displaying task bars that have multiple resources assigned, OnePager supports the concept of a column splitting. This feature recognizes comma-separated values in a designated column and creates a separate task bar for each of the comma-separated values.

Enabling Splitting

To use this feature requires turning ON the feature in the Asana Template Properties form you intend to use to make the chart. The setting must be turned ON before the chart is created so launch OnePager Bundle from the desktop icon, click the NEW button on the OnePager Bundle Start form to access the OnePager choices form, select your Asana source plan, and type in the chart's title as shown here:

P72-24 5 3-72-(2A)-11022023.png
P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png

When you click the Next> button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the OnePager choices form shown below:

P72-24 5 3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png
P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png

Clicking the Edit current template button accesses the current Template Properties form. Navigate to the Field Mappings tab on the form, check the Enable splitting on: checkbox to ON and (in this example) select the Assigned To column from the dropdown list provided. The results are shown here:

P72-24 5 3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png
P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png

Click the Save and use button to complete the process and close the current Template Properties form returning you to the second page of the OnePager choices form show above.

Split Resources in the Chart

Clicking the Create new chart button completes the process and creates the chart with the column splitting feature in use. The chart with splitting looks like this:

P72-24 5 3-72-(2)-11022023.png
P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png

In the chart with column splitting shown above, there are now several more task bars in the Chart Editor than there were before. The task bar for Plate Movement is now split into two (2) separate task bars, one for each of the two resources assigned. The task bar for Centrifugal Barrier is now split into three (3) separate task bars, one for each of the three resources that were assigned to this task in the Asana source plan. Each of the resources has a unique color assigned. Each of the resources appears by itself in the Legend. The Legend title shows the column name that is used for splitting the columns.

With this feature, you can use column splitting just like any other column by using the dropdowns in the Template Properties form or Chart Properties form to assign colors, highlight task bars and milestone symbols, and to define and label rows and swimlanes.

Splitting Resources and Task Links

When task bars with Data-Driven or manual Task Links are split, the Task Links (Data-Driven and manual) are not shown. Further, the Task Links that are now hidden and do not have entries in the Where are My Links? form.
