When you are moving task bars/milestone symbols to different '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''', you can end up with '''unoccupied rows''' that you can '''hide''', if desired.  '''Rows''' can become '''empty''' for other reasons such as a change made to the chart's '''Date Range''' (i.e., the chart's '''Start Date''' and '''Finish Date''') or because a new snapshot is not '''importing''' one or more '''task bars/milestone symbols''' that were present in previous snapshots. OnePager provides the option for you to manually '''hide rows''' in the chart or to specify '''automatic hiding of rows''' through controls in the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' form as explained in this article. For the purpose of illustration, this article uses the OnePager Express chart below as the starting point for the discussions of manual '''row hiding''' and '''automatic row hiding''' provided in the sub-sections that follow:

This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.

===Manually Hiding Empty Rows===
+
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. 
  
−
In the examples that follow, two task bars each are hidden in a top '''Left#3 swimlane level cell''' and in an interior '''Left#3 swimlane level cell''' as shown below:
+
===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:
−
<!--<center>X70-12_05_2-(2)-08242020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
To use the '''manual row hiding''' feature, click the '''Hide''' button on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab, which is '''enabled''' when the chart has '''empty rows''', as shown below:  
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +

−
<center>[[File:X70-12_05_2-(3)-08242020.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>X70-12_05_2-(3)-08242020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Clicking the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab's '''Hide Rows''' button accesses the '''Row hiding choices''' form shown here:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
−
<center>[[File:X70-12_05_2-(4)-08242020.png]]</center>
+
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.
−
<!--<center>X70-12_05_2-(4)-08242020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
The '''Row hiding choices''' form shown above shows that two (2) '''rows are empty''',  '''one top and one Interior row are empty''' and can be '''hidden'''.  '''Interior rows''' are '''rows''' that neither are the '''top most rows''' in the chart nor the '''bottom most rows''' in the chart. '''Top''' and '''Bottom''' value boxes shown in the '''Row hiding choices''' form shown above, count consecutive '''empty rows''' from the '''top of the graph''' and the '''bottom of the graph''' respectively.
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
−
Clicking the '''OK''' button on the '''Row hiding choices''' form '''hides''' the '''empty row''' as is done in the illustration below:
+
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:

−
In the above illustration, please note that when '''rows are hidden''' that make up a '''swimlane''', that the '''swimlane''' too is '''hidden'''.

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
You also have the option to set up and use the '''row hiding''' feature in an '''automatic mode'''.  That is, you can establish a set of '''options''' in the '''Template''' before charts are created to '''automatically hide empty rows''' under the conditions you wish.  Additionally, you can use the same controls found in the '''Chart Properties''' form to set or alter these '''options''' after charts are created.  Since the controls for '''automatically hiding rows''' are the same for both the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' forms, the example below uses the '''Chart Properties''' form.
+
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:

−
There are four (4) '''Row hiding options''' available singly or in combination as discussed in the following sub-sections:
+
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'''.
  
−
====Look at current snapshot only====
+
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'''.
  
−
When the '''Look at current snapshot only''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', OnePager looks only at the '''current snapshot''' to determine which '''rows are empty'''.  When the '''Look at current snapshot only''' checkbox is '''OFF''', OnePager looks at '''all snapshots''' before deciding that a '''row is empty'''.  In either case, please note that any '''rows''' that are '''hidden''' are '''hidden''' in '''all snapshots'''.
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
−
====Hide newly-empty rows on import====
+
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.
−
 
+
−
When the '''Hide newly-empty rows on import''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', OnePager '''automatically hides''' any '''rows''' that become '''empty''' when you '''add or update a snapshot'''.    This can happen when a task bar or milestone symbol is present in some '''snapshots''' but is missing from the '''snapshot''' that is currently being '''updating'''.    Please keep in mind, however, that the '''hidden rows''' are now being '''hidden''' in '''all snapshots''' and not just in the '''snapshot''' being '''updated'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Unhide rows for flagged tasks/milestones====
+
−
 
+
−
When this checkbox is checked '''ON''', OnePager '''automatically unhides''' task bars/milestone symbols, '''rows''', and '''swimlanes''' that were '''hidden''' in previous '''snapshots''' if any of the tasks/milestones in the '''source plan''' are '''flagged''' for '''import''' on the '''current snapshot'''.  This assures that in '''new snapshots''' all previously '''hidden''' task bars/milestone symbols and their previously '''hidden rows and swimlanes''' are visible.  If the '''Unhide rows for flagged tasks/milestones''' checkbox is checked '''OFF''', OnePager continues to '''hide''' previously '''hidden rows and swimlanes''' as the '''new snapshot''' is created.  The default setting for the '''Unhide rows for flagged tasks/milestones''' checkbox is checked '''ON'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Hide rows when dates are outside the date range====
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Hide rows when dates are outside the date range''' option is checked '''ON''', clicking the '''Hide''' button '''hides rows''' that appear '''empty''' because the '''source plan''' task/milestones occupying those '''rows''' are outside the '''start-end dates''' for the chart .
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on '''setting and changing the date range of the chart''', please see the article at:  [[Changing the Chart’s Start/Finish Dates for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Changing the Chart’s Start/Finish Dates for OnePager Express]] <!--22.3.2-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Hide rows when dates are outside the date range''' option is checked '''ON''', OnePager knows that you want '''rows''' where '''source plan''' tasks/milestones are not within the '''start-end dates''' range of the chart to be '''hidden''' when you click the '''Hide''' button on the ribbon. As with the '''Look at current snapshot only''' row '''hiding''' action, the '''row hiding''' for this option does not occur until you click the '''Hide''' button on the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab.
+
−
 
+
−
==Finding Hidden Rows==
+
−
 
+
−
If '''rows and/or swimlanes''' are '''hidden''', for any reason, they can be found by using the '''Where’s My Stuff?!''' feature accessed from the '''Show/Hide''' button on the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab as shown below for the example used in this article: 
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-12_05_2-(7)-08242020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-12_05_2-(7)-08242020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the “Where’s My Stuff?!” is clicked, the form is accessed showing which '''task names''' are '''hidden''' and the reasons for being '''hid''' as shown below:
+
−

<center>[[File:X70-12_05_2-(8)-08242020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-12_05_2-(8)-08242020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Where's My Stuff?!''' form shown above, indicates that two (2) tasks are '''hidden''' in the chart and that their respective '''rows''' are '''hidden''' as well.  The '''Where's My Stuff?!''' form keeps track of all covered items that are '''hidden''' by indicating the '''task name''' from the '''source plan''' and the reason that the '''items''' are '''hidden''' by indicating a red X in the column appropriate for the '''task name'''.
+

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.
