==About the Corner for OnePager Express==
+
==Introduction==
  
The upper left and lower left '''corners''' of the chart area (called '''The Corner''') have three alternative uses:
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
:1) To show '''Time Axis Unit’s Labels'''.
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
:2) To provide the '''Heading Names''' for '''Text Columns''' and '''Swimlane Labels'''.  
+
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.
  
:3) To provide a '''blank''' area into which you can insert your own '''text statements'''.
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
To customize '''the Corner''', access the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Main''' tab.  The radio buttons for designating the use of '''The Corner''' are shown below:
+
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>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
===Row/Swimlane Headings===
+
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:
  
Selecting the '''Swimlane/text column headings''' radio button causes the chart to show '''text columns headings''' and swimlane '''label headings'''. If row and swimlane '''labels''' are not displayed, that is, turned '''OFF''', in the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab, '''The Corner''' is not available for either '''Time Axis Unit Labels''' or Row/Swimlane '''Headings'''. If either the '''text columns''' or the '''swimlane labels''' are displayed, either is turned '''ON''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab,  '''The Corner''' is available and can be used for any of the three uses.

The example below shows '''The Corner''' being used for row '''text column headings''' and swimlane '''label headings''':

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>X70-22_2_4-70-(2)-11172020.png</center>-->
+
  
===Time-unit Labels===
+
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:
  
Selecting the '''Time-unit labels''' radio button causes the '''Time Axis''' '''Unit Labels''' to show in '''The Corner'''. In this mode, '''Time Axis Unit Labels''' cannot be '''hidden'''.  
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
However, '''Time Axis Levels''', including the '''Time Axis Unit Labels''' can be '''hidden''' by using the controls provided in the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Time Axis''' tab's '''Top, Middle, or Bottom''' level sub-tabs to '''hide the entire '''Time Axis Level'''.
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
For more information on '''hiding Time Axis Levels''', please see the article at:  [[Labeling Time Axis Levels for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Labeling Time Axis Levels for OnePager Express]] <!--22.1.6-70-->

===Neither===
+
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.
  
Selecting the '''Neither''' radio button causes OnePager to transform '''The Corner''' into a blank space whose size depends on your selection for displaying rows and swimlanes.  The example below shows '''The Corner''' configured to span both '''text column headers''' and swimlane '''label headers''':

===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
<center>[[File:X70-22_2_4-70-(4)-11172020.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>X70-22_2_4-70-(4)-11172020.png</center>-->

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
To '''edit The Corner''', first right-click on any element of '''The Corner''' being displayed.
+
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'''.
  
===The Edit Corner Properties Form===
+
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'''.
  
'''The Corner''' can be selected with a right-click in '''any part''' of '''The Corner''' to access the '''Edit corner properties''' form shown below:
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
<center>[[File:X70-22_2_4-70-(5-1)-11172020.png]]</center>
+
When task bars with '''Data-Driven''' or manual '''Task Links''' are '''split''', the '''Task Links''' ('''Data-Driven''' and manual) are '''not shown'''. Further, the '''Task Links''' that are now '''hidden''' and '''do not''' have entries in the '''Where are My Links?''' form.
<!--<center>X70-22_2_4-70-(5-1)-11172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The '''Edit corner properties''' form has the following uses:
+
 
+
:1) Modify '''The Corner''' element's text.
+
 
+
:2) Change '''text font''' properties with the standard '''Font Properties''' form.
+
 
+
:3) Change the '''alignment of the text'''.
+
 
+
:4) Change the '''background color'''
+
 
+
:5) Change the '''Rotation of text''' in '''The Corner'''.
+
 
+
===Editing Time Axis Level Unit Labels in The Corner===
+
 
+
When '''The Corner''' is showing '''Time Axis Labels''' right-clicking on any '''Time Axis Unit Label''' accesses the '''Edit corner properties''' form shown above.  This form allows you make changes to the selected '''Time Axis Unit Label's''' properties as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:X70-22_2_4-70-(5A)-11172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>X70-22_2_4-70-(5A)-11172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Editing Text Columns/Swimlane Level Label Headings in The Corner===
+
 
+
When '''The Corner''' is displaying '''text column and/or swimlane label headings''' right-clicking on any '''text column and/or swimlane label heading''' again accesses the '''Edit corner properties''' form shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:X70-22_2_4-70-(5B)-11172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>X70-22_2_4-70-(5B)-11172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''Time Axis'''  or '''text column and/or swimlane label headings''' are being displayed at both the top and bottom of the chart and you want to make a change to any of these elements and, further, you want the change to be shown both at the top and bottom of the chart, the change must be individually applied to the '''Top''' and '''Bottom Time Axes''' separately.
+
 
+
==Notes==
+
 
+
Since '''The Corner''' appears on the top of the chart with the '''Time Axis Levels''' and appears on the bottom of the chart, either with or without the bottom '''time axis''', '''The Corner''' is impacted by the control settings for '''Multi-Page''' mode. 
+
 
+
'''The Corner''' is impacted by '''freeze pane settings''' as well. 
+
 
+
Additionally, '''The Corner''' is impacted by '''freeze pane settings''' as well.
+
 
+
For more information on '''freeze pane settings''', please see the section in this article:  [[View Modes for Version 7.0#Freeze Panes Feature | View Modes - Freeze Panes Feature]] <!--8.6.1.1-70-->

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.
