'''Curtains''' displayed in the '''graph''' highlight an interval of time in a project relevant to a schedule conversation such as periods with critical schedule constraints, vacation periods, or project reviews. Strategically using '''Curtains''' in the chart is a way to focus on that periods of time with your audience.

OnePager allows '''Curtains''' to be '''inserted''' and '''edited''' in the chart. You can use the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab and the '''Curtains''' button in the '''Annotations''' section to access the '''Curtain Properties''' form. Additionally, OnePager Pro and Express provides enhanced '''curtain creation and management capabilities''' where you can '''define and edit Curtains''' using controls associated with '''Time Axis Levels and Cells'''. Finally, you can '''add a Curtain''' to the chart from an already existing '''Curtain''' using the existing '''Curtain's context menu Add another ...''' command. This article specifically describes the controls for '''creating''', '''editing''', '''copying (adding another)''', and '''deleting''' '''Curtains''' in the chart using the OnePager ribbon's '''Insert''' tab's '''Curtains''' button as the starting point.
+
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.

'''Curtains''' displayed in the '''graph''' highlight an interval of time in a project relevant to a schedule conversation such as periods with critical schedule constraints, vacation periods, or project reviews. Strategically using '''Curtains''' in the chart is a way to focus on that periods of time with your audience.

OnePager allows '''Curtains''' to be '''inserted''' and '''edited''' in the chart. You can use the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab and the '''Curtains''' button in the '''Annotations''' section to access the '''Curtain Properties''' form. Additionally, OnePager Pro and Express provides enhanced '''curtain creation and management capabilities''' where you can '''define and edit Curtains''' using controls associated with '''Time Axis Levels and Cells'''. Finally, you can '''add a Curtain''' to the chart from an already existing '''Curtain''' using the existing '''Curtain's context menu Add another ...''' command. This article specifically describes the controls for '''creating''', '''editing''', '''copying (adding another)''', and '''deleting''' '''Curtains''' in the chart using the OnePager ribbon's '''Insert''' tab's '''Curtains''' button as the starting point.

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:

'''Curtains''' corresponding to '''Time Axis Cells''' and other '''periods of interest''' can also be '''inserted''' into the chart and '''edited''' from the OnePager Pro or Express '''Time Axis'''. References to the specific articles describing the capabilities and features for '''creating''', '''managing''', and '''editing Curtain graphics''' associated with the '''Time Axis Levels and Cells''' feature are provided in the table 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.

==About Curtains==
+
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:
  
−
A '''Curtain''' is a vertical strip, usually in a highlighted '''color''', that identifies a period of time across all rows. The example below shows a '''Curtain''' entitled '''Critical Resource Period''' that appears from 4/1/2020 to: 9/30/2020.

==Adding a Curtain==
+
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:
  
−
To '''add''' a new '''Curtain''' to a chart, start at the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab. On the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab click the '''Curtain''' button as shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center>

This accesses '''Curtain Properties''' form that allows you define the '''Start and End dates''', '''appearance''', and '''text label''' for the '''Curtain'''  as shown here:
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(1B-1)-09162020.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>P70-16_0_1-70-(1B-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Once you entered the '''Start and End dates''' and other '''properties''' selections, click the '''OK''' button to '''add''' the '''Curtain'''.  For example, if the '''curtain properties''' entered into the '''Curtain Properties''' form are those of the sample '''Curtain''' in the previous section, the '''Curtain''' and the '''Curtain Properties''' form looks like this:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>

−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(1-1)-09162020.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'''.

+
  
−
You can always access the '''Curtain Properties''' form to '''edit''' the '''Curtain Properties''' form by right-clicking inside the '''curtain''' to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
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>P70-16_0_1-70-(1C-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Clicking the '''Properties ...''' command accesses the '''Curtain Properties''' form for the selected '''curtain''' 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.

8) In charts with '''multiple snapshots''', this method of '''adding''' a '''Curtain''' puts the '''Curtain''' in '''all snapshots'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Editing a Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
'''Editing a Curtain''' is similar to '''editing''' other shapes appearing in the chart such as '''Comment boxes'''.  First, right-click on the '''Curtain''' to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(3-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(3-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Click the '''Properties ...''' command in the '''context menu''' to access the '''Curtain Properties''' form shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(4-1)-09162020.png]]</center>

Make your option selections for '''font text''' properties and '''rotation''', '''Curtain text horizontal and vertical alignment'''. '''fill color''', '''Curtain border line properties''', and '''transparency''' level. The controls in the '''Curtain Properties''' form are identical to the controls in the '''Shape Properties''' form associated with the '''Free box'''. The exceptions are that the '''Shape Properties''' form does not contain a '''Transparency slider bar''' and the '''Maintain aspect ratio''' checkbox in the '''Shape Properties''' form is replaced with the '''Rotate text 90 degrees''' checkbox in the '''Curtain Properties''' form.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on the '''Free box's''' '''Shape Properties''' form, please see this section in the article at:  [[Creating and Managing Free Boxes for Version 7.0#Changing the Properties of a Free Box | Changing the Properties of a Free Box]] <!--14.0.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''No Fill''' feature found on the '''Font properties''' form accessed from the '''Fill color''' dropdown button on the '''Curtain Properties''' form applies to a '''Curtain's''' '''Fill Color'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on the '''No Fill''' option, please see this section in the article at: [[Creating and Managing Comment Boxes for Version 7.0#Background Color Management | Creating and Managing Comment Boxes - Background Color Management]] <!--13.0.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
In charts with '''multiple snapshots''', this method of '''editing''' a '''Curtain''' changes the '''Curtain’s properties''' in '''all snapshots''' where the '''Curtain''' appears. Once you have completed your '''Curtain editing''' actions, click the '''OK''' button on the '''Curtain Properties''' form.
+
−
 
+
−
==Deleting Curtains==
+
−
 
+
−
'''Deleting Curtains''' is similar to '''deleting''' other shapes in the chart such as a '''Comment box'''. First, right-click in the '''Curtain area''' to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Delete''' command from the '''context menu''' below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(5-1)-109162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(5-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Using the sub-command '''Delete: From this snapshot''' '''deletes''' the '''Curtain''' from the '''current displayed snapshot'''.  '''Curtains''' that remain in other '''snapshots''' are treated as a single entity with respect to their '''properties'''. The sub-command '''Delete: From all snapshots''' '''deletes''' the '''Curtains''' from '''all snapshots'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Ordering Curtains==
+
−
 
+
−
'''Curtains''' can be '''ordered''' in the chart from '''front to back''' in the same way that '''Free boxes''' can be '''ordered''' in the chart using the same '''context menu''' command and sub-commands.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on '''ordering Free boxes''' in the chart, please see this section at the article at:  [[Creating and Managing Free Boxes for Version 7.0#Ordering Free Boxes | Ordering Free Boxes]] <!--14.0.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Order's''' sub-commands are used, the results with respect to the '''Z-Level''' positioning of the '''Curtain''' is shown in '''all snapshots''' where the '''Curtain''' is showing.
+
−
 
+
−
==Adding Another ... Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
Also available in the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu'''  is the '''Add another …''' sub-command which is a convenient way to place another '''Curtain''' into the chart with potentially different '''properties''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(5A-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(5A-1)-09162020.png</center>-->  
+
−
 
+
−
First, right click on the '''Curtain''' showing in the chart to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''', then click the '''Add another …''' sub-command to access the '''Curtain Properties''' form. The accessed '''Curtain Properties''' form has the same settings as the '''Curtain''' used to access the form. Use this '''Curtain Properties''' form to set the '''properties''' of the new '''added Curtain''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(6-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(6-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Click the '''OK''' button when finished and the '''updated''' chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(7-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(7-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
As with all uses of the '''Curtain Properties''' form, when you click the '''OK''' button the '''additional Curtain''' is shown in '''all snapshots'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Putting A Curtain in Some Snapshots==
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Curtain Properties''' form is used to '''add''' a '''Curtain''' in the chart, the '''Curtain''' is put in '''all snapshots'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
===Displaying Curtains in Some Snapshots===
+
−
 
+
−
There is no '''Attach to all snapshots''' checkbox in the '''Curtain Properties''' form as there is in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form because all '''added Curtains''' are placed in all snapshots by '''default'''.  The recommend way to display a '''Curtain''' in '''one or a select set of snapshots''' is to use this two step procedure:
+
−
 
+
−
:1) First create the '''Curtain''' with its desired '''properties'''  making the '''Curtain''' appear in '''all snapshots''' as the '''default''' result.
+
−
 
+
−
:2) Then,  going to each snapshot where you '''do not''' want the '''Curtain''' to appear, use the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu's Delete''' command  to individually '''delete''' the '''undesired Curtains''' from that '''snapshot''' where the '''Curtain''' should not be showing.
+
−
 
+
−
Repeat this process for each snapshot where the '''Curtain''' should not appear.
+
−
 
+
−
===Reinstating Curtains in the Future===
+
−
 
+
−
Subsequent project demands can require that you later need to put the '''Curtain''' back in '''all snapshots''' or into a specific snapshot.  To do this, just follow these steps. To put a '''Curtain''' in '''all snapshots''', use the '''Put at all snapshots''' command found in the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' for the existing '''Curtains''' in the snapshot where it is showing as done below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(8-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(8-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
After clicking the '''Put at all snapshots''' command, the selected '''Curtain''' is shown in '''all snapshots'''. By using the first procedure above, you can now selectively '''delete Curtains''' from '''snapshots''' where the selected '''Curtains''' are not desired.
+
−
 
+
−
===Editing Curtains in Snapshots===
+
−
 
+
−
Whenever you '''edit''' the '''properties''' of a '''Curtain''' in any snapshot, the '''edited Curtain''' is '''updated''' with these '''edits''' in '''all snapshots''' where the '''Curtain''' appears. This being the case, a '''Curtain''' is never considered as a '''maverick''' because once its '''properties''' are set or '''edited''' it appears the same in '''all snapshots''' where it is showing. Likewise, the '''Curtains and Timespans Grid''' entry for the '''Curtain''' shows its '''current properties''' as discussed in the next section.
+
−
 
+
−
==Resizing a Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
As described above, the '''width''' of a '''curtain''' in terms of its '''Start and End dates''' can be '''edited''' through the '''Curtain Properties''' form.  The '''width''' of the '''Curtain''' can also be manually '''edited''' in the chart.  To do this follow these steps.
+
−
 
+
−
1) Select the '''Curtain''' by left-clicking within the '''Curtain''' area to '''select''' it. 
+
−
 
+
−
2) When '''selected''', the '''Curtain''' shows a left and right '''grab box''' on the left and right '''border''' of the '''selected Curtain'''.
+
−
 
+
−
3) To change the '''Start and End dates''' for selected '''Curtain''' use your mouse and these '''Curtain grab boxes''' on the left and right borders to '''drag''' these these '''grab boxes''' to the left or right as appropriate as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(10-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(10-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
4) '''Dragging''' the mouse to the left or right moves the '''Curtain’s''' border as desired, retains the '''Curtain's''' original '''color''', and re-positions any '''text''' to maintain the specified '''horizontal and vertical text alignments''' .
+
−
 
+
−
In the example above, the right border is '''dragged''' to the right to increase the '''width''' of the '''Curtain''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−

==Selecting a Very Narrow Curtain in the Chart==
+
−
 
+
−
Some difficulty can be encountered when '''selecting''' a '''Curtain''' with the mouse left-click when the '''Curtain''' is '''very narrow'''.  To select such a '''Curtain''' we recommend using these steps. Position the mouse at the bottom of the screen (in the footer area) to the left of the '''Curtain'''. Hold the left-click mouse button down and '''drag''' the mouse upward and to the right until the '''Lasso''' completely encloses the '''Curtain'''. When you release the left-click mouse button, the '''Curtain''' is '''selected'''. You can now '''widen''' the '''Curtain''' by '''dragging''' the '''grab boxes''' with the mouse cursor to the left or right as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(12-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(12-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Right-clicking in the '''selected Curtain area''' accesses the the '''Curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' as described above.
+
−
 
+
−
==Keeping Track of Curtains in the Chart==
+
−
 
+
−
In any chart where '''Curtains''' are used for multiple purposes, it may become necessary to consult a list of '''Curtain''' entities that are in the chart or snapshots. The '''Time Axis Levels and Cells''' feature of OnePager provides a location where all '''Curtains''' in the chart are listed. Whenever you '''add''' a '''Curtain''' to the chart, regardless of the method used, an entry is made in the '''Curtain's and Timespans Grid''' found in the '''Chart Properties''' form's  '''Time Axis''' tab's '''Format''' sub-tab as shown below for the example used in this article thus far:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(13-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(13-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Grid''' entry for the '''Curtain''' provides basic identifying '''properties''' for the '''Curtain''' which can be '''edited''' in the '''Grid'''.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on '''The Grid''', the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Time Axis''' tab, and other '''Curtain''' features related to the '''Time Axis Levels and Cells''' feature, please see the article at: [[Managing Inserted Curtains for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Managing Inserted Curtains for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.5.7-70--> and [[Managing Inserted Curtains for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Managing Inserted Curtains for OnePager Express]] <!--22.5.8-70-->

==Adding a Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
To '''add''' a new '''Curtain''' to a chart, start at the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab. On the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab click the '''Curtain''' button as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(1A-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(1A-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
This accesses '''Curtain Properties''' form that allows you define the '''Start and End dates''', '''appearance''', and '''text label''' for the '''Curtain'''  as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(1B-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(1B-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Once you entered the '''Start and End dates''' and other '''properties''' selections, click the '''OK''' button to '''add''' the '''Curtain'''.  For example, if the '''curtain properties''' entered into the '''Curtain Properties''' form are those of the sample '''Curtain''' in the previous section, the '''Curtain''' and the '''Curtain Properties''' form looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(1-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(1-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
You can always access the '''Curtain Properties''' form to '''edit''' the '''Curtain Properties''' form by right-clicking inside the '''curtain''' to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(1C-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(1C-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Clicking the '''Properties ...''' command accesses the '''Curtain Properties''' form for the selected '''curtain''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(2-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(2-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
8) In charts with '''multiple snapshots''', this method of '''adding''' a '''Curtain''' puts the '''Curtain''' in '''all snapshots'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Editing a Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
'''Editing a Curtain''' is similar to '''editing''' other shapes appearing in the chart such as '''Comment boxes'''.  First, right-click on the '''Curtain''' to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(3-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(3-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Click the '''Properties ...''' command in the '''context menu''' to access the '''Curtain Properties''' form shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(4-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(4-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Make your option selections for '''font text''' properties and '''rotation''', '''Curtain text horizontal and vertical alignment'''. '''fill color''', '''Curtain border line properties''', and '''transparency''' level. The controls in the '''Curtain Properties''' form are identical to the controls in the '''Shape Properties''' form associated with the '''Free box'''. The exceptions are that the '''Shape Properties''' form does not contain a '''Transparency slider bar''' and the '''Maintain aspect ratio''' checkbox in the '''Shape Properties''' form is replaced with the '''Rotate text 90 degrees''' checkbox in the '''Curtain Properties''' form.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on the '''Free box's''' '''Shape Properties''' form, please see this section in the article at:  [[Creating and Managing Free Boxes for Version 7.0#Changing the Properties of a Free Box | Changing the Properties of a Free Box]] <!--14.0.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''No Fill''' feature found on the '''Font properties''' form accessed from the '''Fill color''' dropdown button on the '''Curtain Properties''' form applies to a '''Curtain's''' '''Fill Color'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on the '''No Fill''' option, please see this section in the article at: [[Creating and Managing Comment Boxes for Version 7.0#Background Color Management | Creating and Managing Comment Boxes - Background Color Management]] <!--13.0.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
In charts with '''multiple snapshots''', this method of '''editing''' a '''Curtain''' changes the '''Curtain’s properties''' in '''all snapshots''' where the '''Curtain''' appears. Once you have completed your '''Curtain editing''' actions, click the '''OK''' button on the '''Curtain Properties''' form.
+
−
 
+
−
==Deleting Curtains==
+
−
 
+
−
'''Deleting Curtains''' is similar to '''deleting''' other shapes in the chart such as a '''Comment box'''. First, right-click in the '''Curtain area''' to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Delete''' command from the '''context menu''' below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(5-1)-109162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(5-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Using the sub-command '''Delete: From this snapshot''' '''deletes''' the '''Curtain''' from the '''current displayed snapshot'''.  '''Curtains''' that remain in other '''snapshots''' are treated as a single entity with respect to their '''properties'''. The sub-command '''Delete: From all snapshots''' '''deletes''' the '''Curtains''' from '''all snapshots'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Ordering Curtains==
+
−
 
+
−
'''Curtains''' can be '''ordered''' in the chart from '''front to back''' in the same way that '''Free boxes''' can be '''ordered''' in the chart using the same '''context menu''' command and sub-commands.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on '''ordering Free boxes''' in the chart, please see this section at the article at:  [[Creating and Managing Free Boxes for Version 7.0#Ordering Free Boxes | Ordering Free Boxes]] <!--14.0.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Order's''' sub-commands are used, the results with respect to the '''Z-Level''' positioning of the '''Curtain''' is shown in '''all snapshots''' where the '''Curtain''' is showing.
+
−
 
+
−
==Adding Another ... Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
Also available in the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu'''  is the '''Add another …''' sub-command which is a convenient way to place another '''Curtain''' into the chart with potentially different '''properties''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(5A-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(5A-1)-09162020.png</center>--> 
+
−
 
+
−
First, right click on the '''Curtain''' showing in the chart to access the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''', then click the '''Add another …''' sub-command to access the '''Curtain Properties''' form. The accessed '''Curtain Properties''' form has the same settings as the '''Curtain''' used to access the form. Use this '''Curtain Properties''' form to set the '''properties''' of the new '''added Curtain''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(6-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(6-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Click the '''OK''' button when finished and the '''updated''' chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(7-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(7-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
As with all uses of the '''Curtain Properties''' form, when you click the '''OK''' button the '''additional Curtain''' is shown in '''all snapshots'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Putting A Curtain in Some Snapshots==
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Curtain Properties''' form is used to '''add''' a '''Curtain''' in the chart, the '''Curtain''' is put in '''all snapshots'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
===Displaying Curtains in Some Snapshots===
+
−
 
+
−
There is no '''Attach to all snapshots''' checkbox in the '''Curtain Properties''' form as there is in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form because all '''added Curtains''' are placed in all snapshots by '''default'''.  The recommend way to display a '''Curtain''' in '''one or a select set of snapshots''' is to use this two step procedure:
+
−
 
+
−
:1) First create the '''Curtain''' with its desired '''properties'''  making the '''Curtain''' appear in '''all snapshots''' as the '''default''' result.
+
−
 
+
−
:2) Then,  going to each snapshot where you '''do not''' want the '''Curtain''' to appear, use the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu's Delete''' command  to individually '''delete''' the '''undesired Curtains''' from that '''snapshot''' where the '''Curtain''' should not be showing.
+
−
 
+
−
Repeat this process for each snapshot where the '''Curtain''' should not appear.
+
−
 
+
−
===Reinstating Curtains in the Future===
+
−
 
+
−
Subsequent project demands can require that you later need to put the '''Curtain''' back in '''all snapshots''' or into a specific snapshot.  To do this, just follow these steps. To put a '''Curtain''' in '''all snapshots''', use the '''Put at all snapshots''' command found in the '''curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' for the existing '''Curtains''' in the snapshot where it is showing as done below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(8-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(8-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
After clicking the '''Put at all snapshots''' command, the selected '''Curtain''' is shown in '''all snapshots'''. By using the first procedure above, you can now selectively '''delete Curtains''' from '''snapshots''' where the selected '''Curtains''' are not desired.
+
−
 
+
−
===Editing Curtains in Snapshots===
+
−
 
+
−
Whenever you '''edit''' the '''properties''' of a '''Curtain''' in any snapshot, the '''edited Curtain''' is '''updated''' with these '''edits''' in '''all snapshots''' where the '''Curtain''' appears. This being the case, a '''Curtain''' is never considered as a '''maverick''' because once its '''properties''' are set or '''edited''' it appears the same in '''all snapshots''' where it is showing. Likewise, the '''Curtains and Timespans Grid''' entry for the '''Curtain''' shows its '''current properties''' as discussed in the next section.
+
−
 
+
−
==Resizing a Curtain==
+
−
 
+
−
As described above, the '''width''' of a '''curtain''' in terms of its '''Start and End dates''' can be '''edited''' through the '''Curtain Properties''' form.  The '''width''' of the '''Curtain''' can also be manually '''edited''' in the chart.  To do this follow these steps.
+
−
 
+
−
1) Select the '''Curtain''' by left-clicking within the '''Curtain''' area to '''select''' it. 
+
−
 
+
−
2) When '''selected''', the '''Curtain''' shows a left and right '''grab box''' on the left and right '''border''' of the '''selected Curtain'''.
+
−
 
+
−
3) To change the '''Start and End dates''' for selected '''Curtain''' use your mouse and these '''Curtain grab boxes''' on the left and right borders to '''drag''' these these '''grab boxes''' to the left or right as appropriate as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(10-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(10-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
4) '''Dragging''' the mouse to the left or right moves the '''Curtain’s''' border as desired, retains the '''Curtain's''' original '''color''', and re-positions any '''text''' to maintain the specified '''horizontal and vertical text alignments''' .
+
−
 
+
−
In the example above, the right border is '''dragged''' to the right to increase the '''width''' of the '''Curtain''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(11-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(11-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
==Selecting a Very Narrow Curtain in the Chart==
+
−
 
+
−
Some difficulty can be encountered when '''selecting''' a '''Curtain''' with the mouse left-click when the '''Curtain''' is '''very narrow'''.  To select such a '''Curtain''' we recommend using these steps. Position the mouse at the bottom of the screen (in the footer area) to the left of the '''Curtain'''. Hold the left-click mouse button down and '''drag''' the mouse upward and to the right until the '''Lasso''' completely encloses the '''Curtain'''. When you release the left-click mouse button, the '''Curtain''' is '''selected'''. You can now '''widen''' the '''Curtain''' by '''dragging''' the '''grab boxes''' with the mouse cursor to the left or right as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(12-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(12-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Right-clicking in the '''selected Curtain area''' accesses the the '''Curtain''' right-click '''context menu''' as described above.
+
−
 
+
−
==Keeping Track of Curtains in the Chart==
+
−
 
+
−
In any chart where '''Curtains''' are used for multiple purposes, it may become necessary to consult a list of '''Curtain''' entities that are in the chart or snapshots. The '''Time Axis Levels and Cells''' feature of OnePager provides a location where all '''Curtains''' in the chart are listed. Whenever you '''add''' a '''Curtain''' to the chart, regardless of the method used, an entry is made in the '''Curtain's and Timespans Grid''' found in the '''Chart Properties''' form's  '''Time Axis''' tab's '''Format''' sub-tab as shown below for the example used in this article thus far:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-16_0_1-70-(13-1)-09162020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-16_0_1-70-(13-1)-09162020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Grid''' entry for the '''Curtain''' provides basic identifying '''properties''' for the '''Curtain''' which can be '''edited''' in the '''Grid'''.
+
−
 
+
−

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

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:

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.
