| − | ==About Creating and Managing Comment Boxes== | + | ==Introduction== |
| | | | |
| − | '''Comment boxes''' are a way to display '''text''' associated with task bar/milestone symbol '''name labels imported''' from your Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel '''source plan'''. They are a great way to call attention to critical information to support schedule conversations. | + | This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''. |
| | | | |
| − | ===Default Comment Box Settings=== | + | ==About Splitting and Parsing Fields== |
| | | | |
| − | The '''default''' settings for '''Comment box''' parameters are provided in the distributed OnePager Pro and Express '''Template Properties''' form's '''Comment Box''' tab as shown below for OnePager Pro: | + | 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. |

| + | |
| | | | |
| − | When the '''Template Properties''' form is used to create a chart, these settings are established in the chart's '''Chart Properties''' form at its '''Comment Box''' tab where the settings and controls are the same.
| + | 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: |

| | | | |
| − | You can use the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Comment Box''' tab to globally '''edit''' these settings that apply to all '''Comment boxes''' that are subsequently created in the chart.
| + | 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: |
| | | | |

| | | | |
| − | Additionally, you can '''create''', '''edit''', and '''delete''' '''Comment boxes''' manually in the chart by:
| + | 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. |

| − | :1) Using the '''task bar/milestone''' right-click '''context menu''' associated with right-clicking on a task bar/milestone symbol.
| + | ===Enabling Splitting=== |
| | | | |
| − | :2) Creating a '''Comment box''' on a selected task bar/milestone symbol by using the '''Comment Box''' button on the '''Insert''' tool bar on the OnePager ribbon.
| + | 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>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(2)-10022019.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>P70-13_0_1-70-(2)-10022019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Use the form illustration above as reference for the following control functions.
| + | ===Split Resources in the Chart=== |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Comment'''. The '''text''' you enter that appears in the '''Comment box'''.
| + | 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: |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Box Size'''. The size of the '''Comment box''' in '''inches or centimeters'''. | + | <center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center> |
| | + | <center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center> |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Offset from Anchor'''. The displacement of the '''Comment box''' from the '''anchor position''' on the task bar/milestone symbol. Normally to move a '''Comment box''' drag the box to a new position, but you can also set the position with these controls.
| + | 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'''. |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Anchor Position'''. A '''slider bar''' control that sets the horizontal location along the selected task bar/milestone symbol at which the '''Comment box''' is '''anchored'''. It is a '''percentage''' of the task bar/milestone symbol’s '''time duration'''.
| + | 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'''. |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Font'''. The dropdown provides access to the '''Font properties''' form with its controls for changing the '''font type''', '''color''', and '''size''' of the '''text''' in the '''Comment box''' are accessed. Additionally, you have control over the '''text''' with respect to '''Bold''', ''Italics'', and [[Underline]].
| + | ==Splitting Resources and Task Links== |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Horizontal Align'''. These three buttons allow you to '''horizontally position''' the '''Comment box text string''' inside the '''Comment box'''. OnePager automatically assures that that the '''text string''' remains within the '''Comment box'''.
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Vertical Align'''. These three buttons allow you to '''vertically position''' the '''Comment box text string''' inside the '''Comment box'''. OnePager automatically assures that that the '''text string''' remains within the '''Comment box'''.
| + | ==Related Links== |
| | | | |
| − | :* '''Bkg Color (Background Color)'''. This control uses the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form to select the '''color''' for the '''background''' within the '''Comment box'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :* '''Anchor Shapes'''. The control lets you select from '''anchor''' shapes available for the '''Comment box''' to the task bar/milestone symbol. The '''anchor shapes''' are the same shapes available for milestone shapes.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :* '''None Checkbox'''. Checking the '''None''' checkbox '''On''' tells OnePager that there should be '''no anchor shape''' used at the junction of the '''Comment box connecting line''' and the task/milestone shape.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :* '''Anchor Color'''. The control lets you select the '''color''' of the '''anchor shape''' on the task/milestone.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :* '''Attach Comment to All Snapshots'''. If this checkbox checked '''On''', the '''Comment box''' appears in '''all snapshots'''. Later on, you can '''delete''' the '''Comment box''' from any '''snapshot''' you choose.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :* '''Restore Defaults'''. Checking this checkbox '''On''' restores the ''' default properties''' of the '''Comment box''' to the settings in the '''Chart Properties''' form.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Applying Comment Box Editing Actions===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After making your option selections in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form, click '''OK''' to '''apply''' your '''edits''' to the '''Comment box''' on the selected task bar/milestone symbol. When the '''OK''' button on the '''Create or edit comment box''' form is clicked, the '''edits''' are applied only to the '''Comment box or boxes''' associated with the '''selected''' task bar/milestone symbol. As a result of individually '''selecting''' and '''editing''' '''Comment boxes''' for individual task bars/milestone symbols, these '''Comment boxes''' are treated as '''mavericks''' since their '''properties''' likely differ from those '''properties''' set in the '''Chart Properties''' or '''Template''' forms. Recall that the '''Restore Defaults''' button in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form can be checked '''ON''' to revert the '''mavericked''' properties of any '''selected Comment box''' back to the '''default properties'''.

| − | ==Creating A Comment Box Using the Comment Box Button==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As an alternative way of adding a '''Comment box''' for a task bar/milestone symbol, '''select''' the desired task bar/milestone symbol and then click the '''Comment Box''' button in the '''Insert''' tab of the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3-1)-09142020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3-1)-09142020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Clicking the '''Comment Box''' button accesses the '''Create or edit comment box''' form where you can make your setting selections as discussed above in the previous section. When all settings are made, click '''OK''' and the '''Comment box''' is displayed with the selected task bar/milestone symbol. Shown below is an illustration of a '''Comment box''' '''created''' using the '''Comment Box''' button on the OnePager '''Insert''' tab:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | The sample '''Comment box''' shown above consists of a '''rectangle''', '''inserted text string''', and a '''connecting line''' to an '''anchor point''' on the selected task bar. These components of a '''Comment box''' can be '''edited''' as discussed in the following sections.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Creating A Comment Box From a Task/Milestone Text Label==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | With some charts there are conditions where a task bar/milestone symbol's '''text labels''' may overlap with other '''text labels''' or other task bar/milestone symbols in the chart. You can manually place a task bar/milestone symbol's '''name text label''' into a '''Comment box''' and subsequently '''move''' and/or '''resize''' the '''Comment box''' to avoid these situations.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Example===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using the portion of a OnePager chart below there are a couple of task bar/milestone symbol ''' name text labels''' that are difficult to read:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3D)-10032019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3D)-10032019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | One approach to resolving this conflict is to place the the task bar's name '''name text label''' of '''Engineering Team 1 Development''' into a '''Comment box'''. To do this, left-click the task bar's '''name text label''' itself which '''selects''' the ''' name text label''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3E)-10032019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3E)-10032019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The action of '''selecting''' the task bar's '''name text label''' also '''enables''' the '''Label Position''' dropdown list on the OnePager ribbon's '''Home''' tab as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3F-1)-09142020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3F-1)-09142020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After '''selecting''' the '''In comment box''' command from the dropdown list, the result looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3G)-10032019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3G)-10032019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Alternative Method===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Placing a task bar's '''name text label''' into a '''Comment box''' can also be accomplished by right-clicking the task bar/milestone symbol to access its '''task bar''' right-click '''context menu''', then clicking the '''Format...''' command in the dropdown, and finally accessing the '''Task Label''' tab of the accessed '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3H-2)-09142020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3H-2)-09142020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Upon completion of these steps, the '''selected''' task bar's '''name text label''' is placed in a '''Comment box''' and the chart is modified to look like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3I)-10032019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3I)-10032019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As described below, once the '''Comment boxes''' are '''created''' you have the capability to '''move''' them in the chart, '''resize''' the boxes, and '''edit''' the '''text string''' within the '''Comment boxes'''.

| − | ==Editing Comment Boxes==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Moving Comment Boxes===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After creating a '''comment box''', you can '''moved''' it to another position in the '''document area''' by using your mouse to left-click on the '''Comment box''' and while holding down the left-click button, '''drag''' the '''Comment box''' to a new position as is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3B)-10022019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3B)-10022019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the mouse left-click button is released, the '''Comment box''' remains in the new position with the '''Comment box selected''' as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(3C)-10022019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(3C)-10022019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Resizing Comment Boxes===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To '''resize''' a '''Comment box''', the box must first be '''selected''' with a left-click. Selecting a '''comment box''', results in the '''comment box''' being highlighted and surrounded by '''eight grab boxes''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(21)-10032019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(21)-10032019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To '''resize''' a '''Comment box''', place the mouse cursor on one of the '''grab boxes''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(24-1)-10022019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(24-1)-10022019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the chart above the lower right '''grab box''' is '''selected''' as indicated by the '''double-arrow cursor shape'''. When the mouse is moved with the left-click button depressed, a rectangle shows the proposed '''Comment box's''' new '''size''' as the cursor is '''dragged'''. This intermediate step is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(25)-10022019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(25)-10022019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the left mouse button is released, the '''Comment box''' is '''resized''' and redrawn as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(26)-10022019.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(26)-10022019.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you make the '''selected Comment box''' smaller in size, OnePager adjusts the '''Font size''' in an attempt to keep the '''text string''' within the '''Comment box'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Using the Comment Box's Context Menu===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Right-clicking on a '''Comment box or boxes''' accesses the '''Comment box''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Editing Comment Box Text Formats====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In the '''Format''' control group shown above only the '''Text Color''' button (shown as a paint bucket) is '''enabled''' when a '''Comment box''' is selected. The '''Format...''' button shown above as a '''color palette icon''' is '''disabled''' as '''Comment boxes''' are not supported by the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Editing Comment Box Text Alignments====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are two (2) sets of three '''alignment''' buttons in the '''Alignment''' control group shown above related to the '''text strings''' in '''Comment boxes'''. The top three (3) '''alignment''' buttons align the selected '''text string''' in a '''Comment box''' '''vertically''' within the space enclosed by the '''Comment box'''. The bottom three (3) '''alignment''' buttons align the selected '''text string''' in a '''Comment box horizontally''' within the space enclosed by the '''Comment box'''. When the size of the '''Comment box''' changes either in a '''horizontal or vertical''' direction, the '''vertical and horizontal''' '''text string alignments''' are maintained. OnePager automatically increases or decreases the number of lines of the '''text string''' within the '''Comment box''' to prevent the '''text string''' from overlapping a '''Comment box boundary'''.

| − | ===Managing Other Comment Box Properties===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''Create or edit comment box''' form's controls are described above in section of this article at: [[Creating and Managing Comment Boxes for Version 7.0#Create or Edit Comment Box Form's Controls | Create or Edit Comment Box Form's Controls]] <!--13.0.1-70-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The descriptions above are self-explanatory, however, some explanation of several controls need expansion.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Background Color Management====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | There are options regarding the '''background color''' for a '''Comment box'''. When a '''Comment box''' is '''created''' for an individual task bar/milestone symbol's '''name text string''', the '''Create or edit comment box''' form can be accessed, and the '''Bkg Color''' window in this form allows you to '''edit''' the '''background color''' for that individual '''Comment box''':

| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(5A)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As shown above, you can '''edit''' the '''Comment box’s background color''' by right-clicking on the '''Comment box''' to access the '''comment box''' right-click '''context menu''' and then select the '''Properties…''' command to access the '''Create or edit comment box''' form. When you next, click the '''Bkg Color''' control the standard '''Color Chooser''' form is accessed. Any '''background color''' can be selected from the '''Color Chooser''' form, however, keep in mind the '''color''' selected for the '''Comment box's''' '''text string''' in order to avoid '''hiding''' the '''text string''' within the selected '''color'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Using the No fill Feature====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can turn '''ON''' the '''No fill''' feature by selecting the '''No fill''' checkbox after clicking the '''Bkg Color''' control shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(7)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Clicking the '''OK''' button '''updates''' the '''Bkg Color''' of the '''Comment box''' in the chart. To demonstrate the effect of '''No fill''' for the '''Comment box''' in the illustration above, moving the '''Comment box''' to another position in the chart where there is a chart swimlane '''background color''', the '''Comment box''' appears like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8)-10032019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Transparency Controls====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''Transparent''' checkbox in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form allows you to change the appearance of the entire '''Comment box''' into a free standing '''text string''' without a border and with or without the '''Comment box's connecting line'''. To show an example of this, the illustration below has a typical '''Comment box''' with a '''background color''' and a '''connecting line''':
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8A)-10032019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8A)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If we access the '''Create or edit comment box''' form as before and check the '''Transparent''' checkbox '''ON''' two things happen. First, the other '''Color''' controls in the form are '''disabled'''. Second, the adjoining '''Show connecting line when transparent''' checkbox is '''enabled'''. The '''Create or edit comment box''' form looks like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8C)-10032019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8C)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Checking the '''Transparent''' checkbox '''ON''' and then clicking the '''OK''' button at the bottom of the form alters the '''selected Comment box''' to look like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8B)-10032019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8B)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you check the '''Show connecting line when transparent''' checkbox '''ON''', the results are shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8D)-10032019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8D)-10032019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Although the '''Comment box''' shown above is '''Transparent''' it can still be '''selected''', '''moved''', and '''resized''' as necessary. Additionally, its '''text string''' is fully '''editable'''. If the '''Show connecting line when transparent''' checkbox is '''ON''' the '''connecting line''' responds to any '''Comment box move or resizing''' action.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Box Size Controls for Comment Boxes===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can manually set the '''width''' and '''height''' of an established '''Comment box''' by changing the values in the '''Width or Height''' dial windows of the '''Create or edit comment box''' form as shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8K)-10082019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8K)-10082019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The initial values shown in the dial windows above represent the '''Width and Height''' of the selected '''Comment box'''. The '''Width and Height''' dial windows operate independently so you can establish different '''widths''' or '''height''' settings as needed. The units used for the '''Width''' and the '''Height''' values are in either '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' depending on the '''Template''' form used to create the chart.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Offset From Anchors Controls for Comment Boxes===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In addition to manually '''moving Comment boxes''' in the chart, you can establish a '''fixed offset''' of the '''Comment boxes''' position relative to the '''anchor point''' on the task bar/milestone symbol with the '''X and Y offset dial windows shown here:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(8L)-10082019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(8L)-10082019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The initial values shown in the dial windows above represent the '''X and Y offsets''' of the selected '''Comment box'''. The values of the '''X and Y offsets''' can be '''positive or negative''' and the units of measure are either in '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used to create the chart. A '''negative''' '''X offset''' value places the '''Comment box''' to the left of the '''anchor point''' while a '''positive''' '''X offset''' value places the '''Comment box''' to the right of the '''anchor point'''. A '''negative''' '''Y offset''' value places the '''Comment box''' below the '''anchor point''' while a '''positive''' '''X offset''' value places the '''Comment box''' above the '''anchor point'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Anchor Position Controls====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can control the position of the '''Comment box''' anchor on it task shape using the '''slider bar''' accessed in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form as shown below:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Anchor Shapes====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You have the option to select from a variety of shapes for the '''Comment box's anchor position shape'''. These optional shapes are the same as those shapes available for milestone symbols in the chart. Accessing the '''Create or edit comment box''' form using the available methods, the selection of '''Anchor Shapes''' is at the bottom of the form in the window list as well as the option to select the '''color''' of the '''Anchor Shape''' shown here:

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Snapshot Management of Comment Boxes===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The checkbox called '''Attach to All Snapshots''' in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form is available in the form only during the '''creation''' of the '''comment box''' as shown here at the bottom of the form:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(2)-10022019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(2)-10022019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | It is at the '''Comment box creation''' action that the option exists to configure the chart so that the '''Comment box''' '''created''' is shown in all snapshots. The '''Attach to All Snapshots''' checkbox is '''absent''' from the form when the form is accessed to '''edit''' an existing '''comment box''' as shown here:
| + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====From This Snapshot====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''From this snapshot''' sub-command causes the selected '''Comment box''' to be '''deleted''' from the '''current snapshot only'''. The same '''Comment box''' appearing in other snapshots are not '''deleted''' and remain available when the snapshot is displayed in the '''Chart Editor'''. These remaining '''Comment boxes''' can be individually '''edited''' and all '''edits''' are '''applied''' to the identical '''Comment box''' appearing in other snapshots. Additionally, '''global edits''' are applied to all remaining '''Comment boxes''' across all snapshots. A '''Comment box''' once '''deleted''' from one or more snapshots can be '''restored to appear in all snapshots''' by '''selecting''' the '''Comment box''' in a snapshot in which it appears, accessing the '''comment box's''' right-click '''context menu''' and clicking the '''Put in all snapshots''' command.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====From All Snapshots====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''From all snapshots''' sub-command causes the selected '''Comment box''' to be '''deleted''' from '''all snapshots''' associated with the chart. When a '''Comment box''' is '''deleted''' from '''all snapshots''' it can no longer be accessed in any snapshot.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | To restore a '''Comment box deleted all snapshots''' to visibility, please see the discussion in this article at: [[Creating and Managing Comment Boxes for Version 7.0#Caution | Caution]] <!--13.0.1-70-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Generally, it is more common to '''delete''' a '''Comment box''' from '''all snapshots''', unless you want it to reappear in a different '''snapshot''' later on.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Ordering Comment Boxes===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | '''Comment boxes''', when created, are automatically displayed '''in front of all other graphics''' as shown here:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(10)-10042019.png]]</center>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Send to Back Example====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you want to avoid covering up task bars/milestone symbols or '''name text labels''', for example, you can use the '''Order''' command to adjust the display of '''Comment boxes''' on the '''Z-Axis''' as described below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :1) Right-click on the selected '''Comment box''' and then click on the '''Order''' command as shown in the illustration above.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | :2) Mouse over the '''Order''' command to access the four sub-commands as shown above.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As shown above, the '''Comment box''' appears to be '''hiding''' the baseline element of the task. If you want the baseline element to appear on top of the '''Comment box''', click the '''Send to back''' sub-command and the chart looks like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(11)-10042019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(11)-10042019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''Comment box''' in the illustration above is using a white '''Background color''' to better illustrate the '''Send to back''' sub-command.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Bring to Front====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | In a similar way, the '''Bring to Front''' sub-command results in the selected '''Comment box''' to appear over the baseline element in this illustration:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(10)-10042019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(10)-10042019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Bring Forward and Send Backward====
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The '''Bring forward''' sub-command is treated as a '''stepping feature''' since the '''Z-Axis''' in the '''Chart Editor''' display on your screen consists of several '''layers'''. You can '''step-wise''' bring the '''Comment box forward''' one step at a time by successively using the '''Bring forward''' sub-command. You can do this until the display of the selected '''Comment box''' is at a desired '''Z-Axis layer'''. Similarly, the '''Send backward''' sub-command is also treated as a '''stepping feature''' like the '''Bring forward''' sub-command discussed above. You can '''step-wise''' send the '''Comment box backward''' one step at a time by successively using the '''Send backward''' sub-command. You can do this until the display of the selected '''Comment box''' is at a desired '''Z-Axis layer'''.

| − | | + | |
| − | ===Adding Another ... Comment Box===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | You can have more than one '''Comment box''' attached to a '''selected''' task bar/milestone symbol. To accomplish this, use the '''Add another …''' command accessed by '''selecting''' the '''existing Comment box''' attached to the task bar/milestone symbol and then clicking the '''Add another ...''' command. These actions access the '''Create or edit comment box''' form where you can specify the new '''comment box’s''' '''name text label''' and other properties as simply illustrated here:

| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(13)-10042019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This '''added Comment box''' possesses all the attributes of any '''Comment box created in the chart. From this '''Comment box''' even '''additional Comment boxes''' can be '''created'''. '''Added Comment boxes''' can be '''edited''', '''moved''', '''resized''', '''replicated in all snapshots''', and '''deleted''' as any other '''Comment box''' in the chart.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Properties ... Command===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Considering again the '''context menu''' accessed when a '''Comment box''' is right clicked, the '''Properties ...''' command accesses the '''Create or edit comment box''' form as discussed previously and again shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(14)-10042019.png]]</center>
| + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After accessing the '''Create or edit comment box''' form, you can '''edit''' all the available '''properties''' for the '''selected Comment box''' as described in this article. Clicking the '''OK''' button at the bottom right of the form '''applies''' your '''edits''' to the '''selected Comment box''' in the current snapshot and in any other snapshot that the '''selected Comment box''' appears.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Putting Selected Comment Boxes in All Snapshots===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Use the '''Put in all snapshots context menu''' command shown below to assure that the '''selected Comment box''' appears in '''all currently available and future''' snapshots in the chart.

| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(14A)-10042019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As discussed above, once a '''Comment box''' is proliferated to other snapshots it can be '''edited''', '''moved''', '''resized''', '''replicated in all snapshots''', and '''deleted''' as any other '''Comment box''' in the chart. The default setting for '''created Comment boxes''' is to put the '''Comment box''' in '''all snapshots'''. Sometimes a '''Comment box''' is only appropriate for a '''selected snapshot''' and should not appear in '''all snapshots'''. If this is the desired result, when a '''Comment box''' is '''created''' you should check the '''Attach to All Snapshots''' checkbox '''OFF''' in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form as shown here:
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | OnePager supports the display a task bar's or milestone symbol's '''name text label''', '''start and finish dates''', and '''percent complete values (%Complete)''' in a '''Comment box'''. Whenever, either through the '''Template Properties''' or the '''Chart Properties''' form, you elect to display '''start date''', '''finish date''', and/or '''percent complete text''' for task bar/milestone symbols, you can cause this information to be displayed in a task bar/milestone symbol '''Comment box'''. As an example, below is a set of task bars displaying these '''text label components''':

| − | Repeating the steps above, the '''start/finish dates''' and the '''percent complete values''' can also be positioned into the '''selected task bar's Comment box''' as shown below:

| − | ===Alternative Method for Placing Task Bar Name Text Label Components In a Comment Box===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | An alternative method for incorporating these '''text label''' components into a '''Comment box''', is to individually '''select''' each '''text label component''' with a right-click to access its '''Format... context menu''' command and access the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form at the '''Task Labels''', '''Dates''' and '''Percent Complete''' tabs to change the '''positions''' of the respective '''text label component''' to the '''In comment box''' position as shown in the series of illustrations below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(20-1)-09142020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(20-1)-09142020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When this first iteration is completed, a new '''Comment box''' is '''created''' containing the task bar's '''name text label component''' as shown here:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(20A-1)-09142020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(20A-1)-09142020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Repeating the process above, we can access the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form for the '''Dates''' tab and the '''Percent Complete''' tab and change the positions of the '''Dates''' and '''Percent Complete values''' as shown in the next two illustrations below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>'''Date Tab'''</center>
| + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(20AA-2)-09142020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(20AA-2)-09142020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>'''Percent Complete Tab'''</center>
| + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(20AB-1)-09142020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(20AB-1)-09142020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | At the completion of this alternative method, the second '''Comment box''' looks like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:P70-13_0_1-70-(20B)-10042019.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>P70-13_0_1-70-(20B)-10042019.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As with any '''Added Comment box''' you can be '''edited''', '''moved''', '''resized''', '''replicated in all snapshots''', and '''deleted''' the '''Comment box''' in the chart.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===Caution===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Some care should be exercised when task/milestone '''text label components''' are placed '''in Comment boxes'''. As mentioned above, '''deleting a Comment box''' from '''all snapshots''' basically makes the '''Comment box''' so '''deleted''' not a candidate for left-click '''selection''' nor can it be right-clicked to access the '''comment box''' right-click '''context menu'''. Under this circumstance, the '''Comment box disappears''' and with it goes its '''contents'''. To restore a '''deleted Comment box''', '''select''' its task bar/milestone symbol with a right-click to access the '''comment box''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Format...''' command. This action accesses the '''Change Task/Milestone Properties''' form at its '''Format''' tab. Navigate to the '''Task Labels''' tab and use the '''Label Position''' dropdown to change the '''position''' from '''In comment box''' to another available '''position''' such as '''Best fit all directions'''. After you click the '''OK''' button on the form, the previously '''deleted Comment box''' is restored. If other task bar/milestone symbol '''text label components''' need to be restored to visibility, repeat the above steps to access the '''Chang Task/Milestone Properties''' form and do the same at the '''Dates''' tab and '''Percent Complete''' tab.
