==Checkmark Decoration for Completed Task Bars and Milestone Symbols (P71-0_4_5-71-11152021.docx)==
+
==Introduction==
  
===Overview===
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
OnePager Pro, Express, and Bundle have a new feature that allows you to highlight a task bar or milestone symbol that is '''100% Complete''' with a '''Checkmark Decoration''' enclosed in a circle.  When the feature is turned '''ON''', OnePager automatically adds the '''Checkmark Decoration''' to any task bar or milestone symbol that achieves '''100% Complete''' status in the chart/snapshot based upon '''imported source plan''' data.
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
The purpose of this article is to introduce this feature and provide examples of its use.
+
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.
  
The examples used here are from OnePager Pro using Microsoft Project as the '''source plan'''.  The feature as described works exactly the same for '''source plans''' from Microsoft Excel, Oracle Primavera P6, and Smartsheet handled by OnePager Express and OnePager Bundle.
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
===Introduction===
+
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:
  
The '''Percent Complete Decoration''' in OnePager for a task bar is represented by a bar positioned at the bottom of the task bar as shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(1A)-11152021.png]]</center>
+
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:
<center> P71-0_4_5-71-(1A)-11152021.png</center>
+
  
In the illustration above, task bar progress is shown using the yellow bar at the bottom of each task bar. Task bars without a yellow bar either have not started or may not have any progress reported for them.
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
In OnePager you can show the '''numeric value''' of the '''percent complete''' in the task bar '''label''' by using appropriate controls in the '''Template Properties '''form or the '''Chart Properties '''form as described for the '''Chart Properties '''form in the article at: [[Percent complete for OnePager for Version 7.1 | Percent complete for OnePager]] 10.3.1-71.
+
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.
  
An example using the above illustration with '''percent complete values''' showing in the task bar '''label''' looks like this:
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(1B)-11152021.png]]</center>
+
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:
<center> P71-0_4_5-71-(1B)-11152021.png</center>
+
  
Above, OnePager displays the '''percent complete value''' for each task bar which can provide a more complete representation of task bar status in the chart.
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
When tasks are complete and the chart is updated, the task bars in the '''Planning Phase''', for example, show the yellow bar at the bottom of the task bar filling the space from task bar '''start date''' to the task bar '''finish date''' as shown in the example below:
+
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>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(1C)-11152021.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png]]</center>
<center> P71-0_4_5-71-(1C)-11152021.png</center>
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
Examination of the illustration above shows that completed task bars have the yellow bar extending the width of the task barIf the schedule discussion requires emphasizing the completion of these task bars, the '''percent complete value''' can again be added to the task bar '''label''' as shown here:
+
Clicking the '''Edit current template''' button accesses the current '''Template Properties''' formNavigate 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:
  
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(1D)-11152021.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center>
<center> P71-0_4_5-71-(1D)-11152021.png</center>
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
When the '''Checkmark Decoration''' for completed task bars is turned '''ON''' and the '''percent complete value '''is turned '''OFF''' in the task bar '''label''', task bars that are '''100% Complete''' are shown in the chart like this:
+
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>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(1E)-11152021.png]]</center>
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
<center> P71-0_4_5-71-(1E)-11152021.png</center>
+
  
The '''Checkmark Decoration '''is a concise, easily discussed, and visible marker for showing a task bar as '''100% Complete.  '''
+
Clicking the '''Create new chart''' button completes the process and creates the chart with the '''column splitting''' feature in useThe chart with '''splitting''' looks like this:
  
The remainder of this article shows you how to '''enable''' and '''disable''' the '''Checkmark Decoration '''feature in the chart.

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
===Turning the Checkmark Decoration Feature ON and OFF===
+
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'''.
  
Controls for turning the '''Checkmark Decoration '''feature '''ON''' and '''OFF''' are contained in the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Task Bars''' and '''Milestones''' tabs in their '''Task Bar Decorations''' or '''Milestone Symbol Decorations''' sub-sections as shown below using the '''Chart Properties '''form:
+
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'''.
  
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(1)-11112021.png]]</center>

==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
<center>P71-0_4_5-71-(1)-11112021.png</center>
+
  
In the above illustration, the '''% Complete''' checkbox is checked '''ON''' which '''enables''' the '''%Complete Properties… '''button that accesses the '''Set percent-complete properties''' form 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:P71-0_4_5-71-(2)-11112021.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-0_4_5-71-(2)-11112021.png</center>
+
 
+
Checking the '''Add checkmark if complete''' checkbox '''ON''', as shown in the illustration below, tells OnePager to automatically place '''Checkmark Decorations''' on all '''100% Complete '''task bars and/or milestone symbols.
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(2A)-11152021.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-0_4_5-71-(2A)-11152021.png</center>
+
 
+
As a further example, suppose we have the Microsoft Project '''source plan''' shown below which has three task bars '''100% Complete''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(3)-11112021.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-0_4_5-71-(3)-11112021.png</center>
+
 
+
With the '''Add checkmark if complete '''checkbox checked '''ON''', the OnePager chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_5-71-(4)-11112021.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-0_4_5-71-(4)-11112021.png</center>
+
 
+
Unchecking the '''Add checkmark if complete '''checkbox to '''OFF''' in the '''Set percent-complete properties '''form '''disables''' the '''Checkmark Decoration''' feature and the '''checkmark decoration '''is not shown in the chart for task bars that are '''100% Complete'''.

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.
