==Introduction==
  
==Overview==
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
OnePager Pro, OnePager Express, and OnePager Bundle version 7.1 are '''upgraded''' with the addition of an '''enhanced Hover Box feature'''.
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
The purpose of this article is to '''overview''' the '''Hover Box Enhancement feature''' and the controls available to use the feature in the '''Chart Editor'''.  Additionally, several examples are provided.
+
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 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 this version 7.1 '''upgrade''' because the controls in the '''Template Properties''' form are identical to those of the '''Chart Properties''' form.
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
Illustrations used in this article are from OnePager Pro using data from Microsoft Project but the feature's function, controls, and manual '''edits''' apply equally to other OnePager editions that import from '''source plans''' like Microsoft Excel, Smartsheet, and Oracle Primavera P6.
+
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:
  
==Hover Box Enhancement Feature==

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
The '''Hover Box''' is a feature within the '''Chart Editor''' that, when turned '''ON''', allow you to '''hover ''' your mouse over a task bar/milestone symbol in the chart and quickly see the task bar’s '''start/finish dates''', '''task name''', and '''Unique ID number'''. Using new controls provided in the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Comment Box '''tab, you have the capability to change the '''font properties''' of the '''text elements''' contained in the '''Hover Box''' and to select an '''alternative field''' from your '''source plan''' to be shown in the '''Hover Box''' instead of the '''text elements '''mentioned previously as standard.
+
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:
  
===Standard Hover Box Text Elements===

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
The standard '''text elements '''in the OnePager '''Hover Box '''looks like the example below:
+
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===
<center> P71-0_4_6-71-(2)-07202022.png </center>
+
  
As shown above, the '''Hover '''Box shows the task bar’s '''Start/Finish dates''' in the top line, the '''Task Name''' in the second line, and the task bar’s '''Unique ID''' in the third line.  Moving the mouse cursor off the task bar or milestone symbol causes the '''Hover Box''' to disappear from the '''graph'''.
+
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:
  
===Alternative the Text Elements for the Hover Box===

The controls associated with the '''Hover Box Enhancement ''' are contained in the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Comment Box '''tab as shown below in the '''Hover Boxes''' sub-control group:
+
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_4-71-(6-1)-07282022.png]]</center>

+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
There are two controls shown in the '''Hover Boxes '''sub-control group shown above.
+
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:
  
The '''Font '''dropdown accesses the standard '''Font properties '''form as shown here:

<center>[[File: P71-0_4_6-71-(3-1)-07282022.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>P71-0_4_6-71-(3-1)-07282022.png</center>
+
  
The '''Display Text:''' sub-control group provides the option, using radio buttons, to (1) display the standard '''text elements''' in the '''Hover Box''' or (2) select an '''alternative source plan field''' to display as the only '''text element''' in the '''Hover Box '''as illustrated below:
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
<center>[[File:P71-0_4_6-71-(4-1)-07282022.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>P71-0_4_6-71-(4-1)-07282022.png</center>
+
  
In the illustration above, the '''Custom field:''' radio button is selected which '''enables''' the field selection dropdown. '''Resource Names''' is the '''source plan field''' selected and when the '''Hover Box '''is turned '''ON''' and the mouse is '''hovered''' over a task bar or milestone symbol, that task bar or milestone symbol’s name is the '''text content''' of the '''Hover Box '''as shown here:

<center>[[File:P71-0_4_6-71-(5-1)-07282022.png]]</center>
+
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>P71-0_4_6-71-(5-1)-07282022.png</center>
+
  
The '''Font properties''' form can be accessed at any time to change the '''font '''appearance of the '''Hover box''' '''text elements''' as you require.  The feature automatically creates multi-line '''text elements '''depending on the '''font size''' and the length of the '''text element string'''.
+
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'''.
  
===Turning the Hover Box Feature ON and OFF===
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
The '''Hover Box feature''' can be turned '''ON''' and '''OFF '''from the checkbox on the '''View '''tab of the OnePager ribbon '''tool bar''' tab as shown below with the checkbox checked '''ON''':
+
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.

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.
