==Creating and Managing Summary Tasks in Oracle Primavera P6 for Version 7.1==
+
==Introduction==
  
OnePager supports the representation of '''Project Summary Tasks''' for Oracle Primavera P6 '''source plans''' by providing a '''virtual task''' which spans the duration and computes the percent complete for the entire project. These '''Project Summary Tasks''' can be found by looking at a OnePager field called '''Project Summary''', which will be set to '''True/Yes''' for any tasks that summarize at the project level.
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
If the '''Outline Level''' for an '''imported activity '''is equal to zero (0), the corresponding '''Project Summary '''value is set to '''True/Yes''' indicating that the '''imported activity''' is a '''Project Summary '''type '''activity'''.  If the '''Outline Level '''for an '''imported activity''' is greater than zero (0), the corresponding '''Project Summary '''value is set to '''False/No''', meaning that the activity is either a lower-level summary task, or simply an individual activity.
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
The '''Project Summary '''field is also available to use when making '''task selections''' when creating a '''NEW''' chart or when performing an '''UPDATE''' of an existing chartUsed this way, the '''Project Summary '''field can be used to control the '''import '''of just '''Outline Level zero (0) activity''' or '''activities''' whose '''Outline Level '''is greater than '''zero (0)'''.
+
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.
  
This sub-section provides an example of how the '''Project Summary '''field in OnePager can be used to create and manage OnePager charts that represent the highest summary level for multi-project '''source plans''' managed by Oracle Primavera P6.
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
===Multi-Project Oracle Primavera P6 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:
  
Consider the Oracle Primavera P6 '''source plan '''shown below as a '''multi-project source plan''' which is used as the example '''source plan''' in this article:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(21)-03082022.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>P71-8_5_2-71-(21)-03082022.png</center>
+
  
The illustration shown above is a '''multi-project source plan''' made up of '''Project A '''and '''Project B '''each with '''multiple phases''' and '''activities'''. Creating a detailed OnePager chart from this '''source plan''' is described elsewhere.  For our purpose here, the requirement is to create a chart that has a '''task bar '''for each of the two projects represented above.

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
===Selecting Activities to Represent Project Summaries===
+
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.
  
Creating a '''NEW''' chart in OnePager requires launching OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' from your desktop and selecting the '''NEW '''option from the '''OnePager Bundle Start''' form shown below:''' '''
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(22)-03082022.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>P71-8_5_2-71-(22)-03082022.png</center>
+
  
Clicking the '''NEW''' button accesses the abbreviated '''OnePager choices '''form where you select the '''source plan '''for '''import''' to OnePager and other selections and options as discussed further below.  The abbreviated '''OnePager choices''' 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:P71-8_5_2-71-(23)-03082022.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>P71-8_5_2-71-(23)-03082022.png</center>

<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
Going forward and selecting the Oracle Primavera P6 '''multi-project source plan''' using the '''Select…''' button shown above, expands the '''OnePager Choices '''form to look like this:
+
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:
  
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(24)-03082022.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center>
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(24)-03082022.png</center>
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
====Selecting the Multi-Project Template Properties Form====
+
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.
  
As shown above, we need to access a '''multi-project Template Properties''' form since our intent is to produce a '''multi-project Summary '''chart.  To do this, click on the '''Change… '''button in the '''Starting Template '''sub-control group which accesses a list of '''Template Properties '''form as shown below:
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(25)-03082022.png]]</center>
+
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:
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(25)-03082022.png</center>
+
  
====Naming the Multi-Project Chart====
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
Upon completing the '''Template Properties''' form selection, continue on and enter the chart’s '''title''' in the '''Title of New Chart '''sub-control group’s text windowWhen that is done, the '''OnePager choices '''form looks like this:
+
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'''.
  
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(26)-03082022.png]]</center>
+
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>P71-8_5_2-71-(26)-03082022.png</center>
+
  
====Selecting Project Summary Tasks Using the Project Summary Field====
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
At this point you are ready to make '''task selections''' using the one of the three options in the '''Task Selection '''sub-control group.  The easiest way to do this is to click the '''Select task with ‘YES’ in field:''' radio button and click in the window to access the '''dropdown list''' as shown here:
+
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:P71-8_5_2-71-(27)-03082022.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(27)-03082022.png</center>
+
 
+
====Creating the Chart====
+
 
+
Once you’ve selected the '''Project Summary '''option, you may change the snapshot date, if desired, and go ahead and click the '''Create new chart''' button.  When this button is clicked, OnePager creates the '''multi-project '''chart that looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(28-1)-03092022.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(28-1)-03092022.png</center>
+
 
+
In the chart shown above, created from an '''XML formatted import '''from Oracle Primavera P6, OnePager has used the '''Project Summary '''field to create a task bar shape that covers the '''start''' to '''finish dates''' for '''Project A''' and '''Project B'''.  OnePager also made the color selections based on the different project names.  Additionally, using the '''XML formatted import’s''' data, OnePager calculated the '''Percent Complete''' value for each project.
+
 
+
To see this information in text form, adding '''text columns''' for '''Start Date''', '''Finish Date, Percent Complete''', provides visual conformation of this information in the chart as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(29-1)-03092022.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(29-1)-03092022.png</center>
+
 
+
====Alternative Method for Selecting Project Summary Tasks====
+
 
+
As an alternative means of selecting '''Project''' '''Summary Tasks''' for display in your OnePager chart, you can use the '''Conditional Import Rules '''featureThis can be done by using the '''Select task by custom filter''' radio button to access the '''Conditional Import Rules''' form as shown below:
+
 
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(30)-03082022.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(30)-03082022.png</center>
+
 
+
Using the '''Conditional Import Rules''' form, create a rule using the '''Project Summary '''field in the '''Field '''column of the form and '''True/Yes''' in the '''Operator '''field as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P71-8_5_2-71-(31)-03082022.png]]</center>
+
<center>P71-8_5_2-71-(31)-03082022.png</center>
+
 
+
Clicking the '''OK '''button on the '''Conditional Import Rules '''form and the '''Create new chart''' on the '''OnePager choices''' form creates the same chart as shown above.
+
 
+

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.
