==Installing OnePager Pro Version 7.0==
+
==Introduction==
  
1) Installation of OnePager Pro ('''OPP''') for version 7.0 remains the same as previous versions.  The process is repeated here for your convenience.
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
2) We smartened up our installer and are offering you two installation options to launch '''OPP''' (1) as an '''Add-in''' to Microsoft Project and (2) a new option to launch '''OPP''' directly from a '''desktop''' Icon.
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
3) For more information on further details, please see the article at: [[Getting Started with OnePager Pro Version 7.0 Desktop | Getting Started with OnePager Pro Desktop]] 3.0.1.2-70.
+
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.
  
==Smart Installer==
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
1) The '''OPP''' installer comes in two varieties:  
+
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:
  
:a) an .EXE file for individuals to install on their desktop and
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
:b) a .ZIP file for IT professionals that are installing '''OPP''' into a managed network environment.
+
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:
  
2) The .EXE smart installer figures out the '''bitness''' of your computer (i.e., 32-bits or 64-bits) and installs the correct bitness to match your computer automatically.
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
3) The .ZIP file contains all installation instructions in the .ZIP file’s README.rtf fileNo further discussion on IT professional installations is provided here.
+
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.
  
4) Finally, the '''smart installer''' provides you with the options to install both the '''OPP Add-in''' and '''desktop Icon''' launch options or to just install the '''OPP desktop Icon''' launch option only. 
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
5) Regardless of which of these two options is selected, your computer still requires that Microsoft Project be installed and available.
+
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:
  
===Microsoft .Net Version Requirements to Run OnePager===

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
6) '''OPP''' version 7.0 requires that the users have installed Microsoft .NET Framework version 4.5 Full or later on their computer.
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
7) After '''installation is complete''', OnePager displays both the required Microsoft .NET Framework version and the Microsoft .NET Framework version installed at the '''About''' tab on the ribbon’s '''File''' tab as shown below:
+

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.
