==Overview==

==Introduction==
  
There may be occasions where a chart may have too much detail and, for a particular schedule discussion and presentation, it is necessary to '''hide''' one or more '''rows''' or '''swimlanes'''.  '''Hiding rows''' or '''swimlanes '''is done by right-clicking in a '''text column''' for a '''row''' or a '''swimlane cell''' for a '''swimlane''' which accesses the appropriate '''context menu '''and the '''Hide''' command for either the '''row '''or the '''swimlane'''.  When '''rows''' are '''hidden''', their parent '''swimlane''', if any, is adjusted in '''height '''or becomes '''hidden '''if the '''row''' or '''rows''' being '''hidden '''make the '''swimlane empty'''.
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
'''Hiding''' '''rows''' or '''swimlanes''' also has an impact on the '''height dimensions''' of the chart.  All '''hidden rows''' and/or '''swimlanes''' can be '''unhidden''' by using the appropriate commands in the '''Show/Hide''' dropdown list of commands found on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab.  If '''rows''' are '''automatically hidden '''by OnePager because they are empty of task bars or milestone symbols, you can '''unhide''' these '''hidden row''' and '''hidden swimlanes''', if any, by clicking the '''Show All Rows '''command which '''unhides all rows''' but does not '''unhide any hidden''' task bars/milestone symbols.  Again, when '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''', clicking the '''Show All Swimlanes''' command '''unhides all swimlanes''' and their member '''rows'''.  This command does not '''unhide the unhidden rows'''’ task bars/milestone symbols if these were specifically '''hidden''' previously.
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
Additionally, clicking on the '''Show All Tasks/Milestones''' in the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list also '''unhides '''any '''hidden rows''' and or '''swimlanes''' containing the '''hidden''' task bars/milestone symbols if these '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''' were previously automatically '''hidden'''.  Whenever task bars/milestone symbols, '''rows''', or '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' their status can be determined by accessing the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command found on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab within the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list.  Finally, the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form can be used to '''unhide rows''' and '''swimlanes'''.
+
The OnePager '''column splitting''' feature allows you to '''duplicate task bars''' when a task in your Asana '''source plan''' is assigned to '''multiple resources''' (or anything else)Because assignments from Asana often are '''comma-delimited''', this feature enables OnePager to '''parse the comma-delimited list''' and '''create a unique task bar''' for each instance in the '''comma-separated''' list.   
  
This article discusses all these features and manual methods for '''hiding''' and '''unhiding''' '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''' in the chart. 
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
Please use the '''links''' in the '''Contents Box''' above quickly jump to a particular topic.
+
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:
  
==Hiding Rows==
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
===Hiding a Single Row===
+
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:
  
Using the various selection methods to select a '''row''' by right-clicking in an associated '''text column cell''', you can access the '''text column '''right-click '''context menu '''where the '''Hide row '''command is found as shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(1-1)-07152020.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>P70-12_13_1-(1-1)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
  
Clicking the '''Hide row '''command produces this result for the selected '''row''' and in the '''swimlane''' in which it is a member:
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(2)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
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>P70-12_13_1-(2)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
  
When a '''row''' or '''rows''' are '''hidden''' in a '''swimlane''', the '''swimlane’s height''' is reduced as is the '''document height'''.
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
===Hiding Multiple Rows===
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
====Hiding Multiple Rows Using the CTL+Left-Click Method====
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
You can select '''multiple rows''' using either the '''CTL+Left-Click '''or the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''methods and once these '''rows''' are selected, right-click in any selected '''text column cell''' to access the '''text column '''right-click '''context menu'''.
+
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:
  
Click the '''Hide row''' command to '''hide''' all the selected '''rows''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(3-1)-07152020.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>P70-12_13_1-(3-1)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
  
When Step 5 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide row''' command), the selected '''rows''' are '''hidden''' and the chart looks like this:
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(4)-07152020.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>P70-12_13_1-(4)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
  
====Hiding Multiple Rows Using the SHIFT+Left-Click Method====
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
In the above illustration '''hiding multiple rows''' didn’t happen to cause any '''parent swimlane''' to become '''empty of rows''' where OnePager automatically '''hides '''them.
+
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'''.
  
This result can be illustrated by selecting a sequence of''' rows''' with the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method and using the '''Hide row '''command to '''hide''' these selected '''rows''' when they are the only constituents of a '''swimlane''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
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==
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(5-1)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
  
When Step 3 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide row''' command), the selected '''rows''' are '''hidden''' along with their '''parent swimlane''' and the chart looks like this:
+
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.

===Hiding Rows Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Hide Row Command===
 
 
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
 
 
You can use the '''Hide row''' command shown above to '''hide''' a selected '''row''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking in the '''row''' you desire to '''hide''' and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Hide row '''command as shown here:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(36)-07192020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(36)-07192020.png</center>-->
 
 
In the illustration above, we highlighted the selected '''row''' to make it clear which '''row''' is involved.  When a right-click is made in a '''row''' of the '''graph area''', OnePager does not show the selection rectangle.  Usually the upper right corner of the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is placed in the selected '''row''' so you know which '''row''' the command is going to act on.
 
 
'''Note''' that there are '''swimlane''' related commands in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' so those commands act on the '''swimlane''' that the selected '''row''' is a member.
 
 
Clicking the '''Hide row''' command shown above '''hides''' the selected '''row''' and any '''text column cells''' associated with it.  If the '''hidden row''' is the only '''row''' in the '''swimlane''', the '''swimlane''' is also '''hidden'''.  If the '''parent swimlane''' remains after the '''Hide row''' command is clicked, the '''swimlanes height''' is adjusted.  When OnePager adjusts the '''height '''of a '''swimlane''', this usually results in the '''document height''' being adjusted as well.  After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed.
 
 
===Automatically Hiding Empty Rows===
 
 
Whenever you '''hide''' a task bar/milestone symbol in its '''row''', you can follow this action by '''hiding the row'''.  This is done by clicking the '''Hide Rows''' button found on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab in the '''Editing '''control group shown below:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(15)-07152020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(15)-07152020.png</center>-->
 
 
Clicking the '''Hide Rows''' button accesses the '''Row hiding choices''' form that shows where the '''empty rows''' are generally located as shown below:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(16)-07152020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(16)-07152020.png</center>-->
 
 
Clicking the '''OK''' button in the '''Row hiding choices''' form '''hides empty rows''' in the region where the checkboxes in the form are checked '''ON'''.

===Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the OnePager Home Ribbon Tool Bar Tab’s Editing Control Group===
+
[[Category:Version 7.2]]
 
+
[[Category:Editing the Chart]]
When '''rows''' are '''hidden''' in the chart and it is necessary to '''unhide''' them, this can be done for all '''hidden rows''' by using the '''Show All Rows''' command found on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group as shown here:
+
[[Category:Task/Milestone Editing]]
 
+
[[Category:Column Splitting]]
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(7)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(7)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, the second '''row''' in the top most '''swimlane''' is '''hidden'''.
+
 
+
To '''unhide this row''' and all other '''rows''' that may be '''hidden''' elsewhere in the chart, access the '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group and click on the '''Show/Hide''' command to access the dropdown list shown above.  Then, click the '''Show All Rows '''command and '''all hidden rows''' in the chart are '''unhidden '''as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(8)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(8)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form===
+
 
+
When you need to '''unhide '''one or more '''rows''' when many '''rows''' are '''hidden''' in the chart, using the '''Where’s My Stuff'''?! form is a convenient tool to selectively '''unhide rows'''.  As an example, suppose we '''hide''' every '''row''' occupying the top '''row''' in every '''Left#2 swimlane level''' as illustrated below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(9)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(9)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''rows''' identified in the illustration above are '''hidden''', the chart now looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(10)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(10)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The intent of the example is to '''unhide''' those '''rows''' that are members of the '''Prime''' '''Left#3 swimlane level''' while leaving all other '''rows''' '''hidden'''.
+
 
+
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form has several functions and, for this purpose, it records the task bars/milestone symbols that occupy '''rows''' that are '''hidden'''.  The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form is accessed by again using the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list in the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing''' control group as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(11-1)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(11-1)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When you click the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command, the form is accessed and contains the list of task bars/milestone symbols that are associated with '''hidden rows''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(12)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(12)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
For more information on the utilization of the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form, please see the article at: [[Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!" for Version 7.0 | Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!"]] <!--9.4.1-70-->
+
 
+
For the purpose of the illustration here, suppose we want to '''unhide '''the '''rows''' containing task bars related to '''Engineering Team 1''' and '''Engineering Team 2'''.  To do this, click the checkbox in the '''Select '''column of the '''grid''' '''ON''' for each of the two '''Task Names''' of interest in the above form as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(13)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(13)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Clicking the two '''Select''' column checkboxes '''ON''' as shown above, tells OnePager that you want OnePager to '''fix the selected '''issue in the '''selected grid row''' of the form.  To take this action, click the '''Fix Selected '''button shown in the form above and OnePager '''unhides''' to two identified '''Task Names''' and their '''rows''' in the chart as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(14)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(14)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
After the actions are taken, the '''unhidden rows''' appear in the chart and the '''unhidden''' task bars remain selected as shown above. 
+
 
+
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form’s '''grid rows''' are '''updated''' to show the actions taken and a list of actions taken and their status is displayed in the form below the '''grid'''.  The form remains open so you can take any additional '''fix actions'''.  If none are required, click the '''Close '''button to return to the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
 
+
===Unhiding All Rows Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Unhide All Rows Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You can use the '''Unhide all rows''' command shown above to '''unhide''' all '''rows''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking '''anywhere''' in the '''graph area '''and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Unhide all rows '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(39)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(39)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, the position of a '''hidden row''' is shown by the red arrow.  When a right-click is made anywhere in the '''graph area''', OnePager accesses the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' at the location near the right-click.  Clicking the '''Unhide all rows''' command shown above '''unhides''' the all '''rows hidden''' in the chart and any '''text column cells''' associated with them.  If the '''hidden rows''' make up '''swimlanes''' that are also '''hidden''', these '''swimlanes''' are also '''unhidden'''.  '''Parent swimlane''' that are '''unhidden''' have their '''swimlane heights''' adjusted.  After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Show Text Columns Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(41)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(41)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''', the '''Show text columns''' command, which is a '''toggle-type''' command, is '''toggled''' '''OFF'''.  The '''default setting''' for the '''Show text columns '''command is '''toggled ON'''.  When the '''Show text column '''command is '''toggled OFF''', if any '''text columns''' were present in the chart, they are no longer visible as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(42)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(42)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
To make all '''text columns '''visible in the chart, right-click anywhere in '''open space '''to access the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Show text columns''' command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(43)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(43)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''Show text columns '''command is '''toggled ON''', the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu '''closes and any''' enabled''' '''hidden text columns''' are displayed in the chart.  The '''Show text columns '''command is not '''enabled '''in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' if no '''text columns '''are set to be displayed because they are not '''enabled''' in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(44)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(44)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
If, however, one or more '''text columns '''are '''enabled''' in the form above, the '''Show text columns '''command in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is '''toggled ON'''.

==Hiding Swimlanes==
+
 
+
===General Rules for Hiding Swimlanes in Multiple Swimlane Level Charts===
+
 
+
====Overview from Previous Versions of OnePager Pro and Express====
+
 
+
Previous versions of OnePager Pro and Express supported a '''single swimlane level'''.  With a '''single swimlane level''', OnePager supported '''hiding a single swimlane''' containing one or more '''rows''' and could '''unhide''' the single '''swimlane''' at a later time depending need.
+
 
+
Also, with a '''single swimlane level''', OnePager supported '''hiding multiple swimlanes''' by selecting '''swimlanes individually''' ('''CTL+Left-Click '''selection method) or a '''sequence of swimlanes''' ('''SHIFT+Left-Click '''selection method).  As with '''unhiding''' a single '''swimlane''', OnePager supported easy methods for '''unhiding '''many '''hidden swimlanes''' as needs arose.
+
 
+
====OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0====
+
 
+
OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0 supports up to '''three swimlane levels''' and any combination of up to '''three swimlane levels''' as needed for your schedule presentation.  This provides a great deal of flexibility when it comes to tailoring the original chart to different audiences by '''showing''' and '''hiding''' various combinations of '''swimlane levels'''.
+
 
+
However, given this flexibility, there are a few '''rules''' that should be kept in mind when '''hiding''' and '''unhiding''' '''swimlanes''' in the OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0 environment:
+
 
+
:* Selecting '''a single swimlane''' can be done at any '''swimlane level''' ('''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', '''and Left #3''') present in the chart.
+
:* Selecting '''a single swimlane''' includes all its '''member rows''' and '''all associated text column cells'''.
+
:* Selecting '''multiple swimlanes''' (regardless of the selection method used) can '''only''' be done in '''one swimlane level'''.
+
:* You have the capability to select an '''entire swimlane''' at any '''level '''or select only the '''swimlane level cell''' for that '''swimlane level''' using the '''double-left-click''' selection method.
+
:* The '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' for a selected '''swimlane''' is the same as for a selected '''swimlane level cell'''.
+
:* If a '''row''' is '''hidden''' in a '''one row swimlane''', the '''swimlane''' is '''hidden '''automatically as well as when the '''swimlane''' becomes '''empty''' when its only '''row''' is '''hidden'''.
+
:* If a '''single row swimlane''' is a member of a '''higher level swimlane''' containing only '''one row''', the '''higher level swimlane''' is also '''hidden'''.
+
:* The '''height''' of a '''swimlane''' is adjusted by OnePager whenever a member '''row''' is '''hidden''' or '''unhidden'''. 
+
:* '''Swimlane height''' adjustments can impact the chart’s '''document height''' in '''output media.'''
+
:* '''Hiding a  swimlane level''' is not the same as '''hiding a swimlane'''.  When a '''swimlane level is hidden''', all other things being equal, the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command in the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is '''disabled'''. 
+
 
+
For more information please see the article at: [[Manually Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels for Version 7.0 | Manually Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels]] <!--12.5.1-70--> and the sub-section at: [[Hiding and Unhiding Rows and Swimlanes for Version 7.0#Unhiding Swimlanes Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Unhide All Swimlane Command | Unhiding Swimlanes Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Unhide All Swimlane Command]] <!--12.13.1-70-->
+
 
+
The rules enumerated above may sound a bit complex, but experimentation should show you how they can work to support your presentation needs.
+
 
+
===Hiding a Single Swimlane===
+
 
+
To demonstrate '''hiding swimlanes''' with '''multiple swimlane levels''', we start the discussion with the baseline chart configuration shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The chart shown above consists of '''three swimlane levels''' with some '''swimlanes''' possessing a '''single row''' while other '''swimlanes''' possess '''multiple rows'''.  Additionally, the chart shows '''higher level swimlanes''' with members at '''lower swimlane levels''' consisting of single and multiple '''rows'''.
+
 
+
The first step for '''hiding''' a '''swimlane''' is to select the single '''swimlane''' as shown in the example below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(18-1)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(18-1)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Once the '''swimlane''' is selected, right-click in the '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu''' and the '''Hide swimlane '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(19-1)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(19-1)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You have the option in the situation illustrated above to just right-click in the '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu'''.  When you click the '''Hide swimlane''' command, the '''swimlane''' is '''hidden'''. 
+
 
+
Because the selected '''Left#3  swimlane level cell''' is a member of single '''row''' '''Left#2 and Left#1 swimlane level cells''', these '''swimlane level cells''' are also '''hidden''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(20)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(20)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Hiding Multiple Swimlanes===
+
 
+
====Hiding Multiple Swimlanes Using the CTL+Left-Click Method====
+
 
+
You can select '''multiple swimlanes''' using either the '''CTL+Left-Click '''or the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''methods and, once these '''swimlanes''' are selected, right-click in the selected '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu'''.  Click the '''Hide swimlane''' command to '''hide''' all the selected '''rows''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(21-1)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(21-1)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When Step 5 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide swimlane''' command), the selected '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(22)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(22)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The illustration above also shows that '''hiding''' a '''Left#3 swimlane '''('''Team 2''')''' '''where it is the only member of a parent '''Left#2 swimlane '''('''Development''') and the only member of the '''Left#1 swimlane '''('''Phase II''')''' hides''' the '''Left#2 and Left#1 swimlane level cells''' as well.
+
 
+
====Hiding Multiple Swimlanes Using the SHIFT+Left-Click Method====
+
 
+
The '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' selection method can be used to select a sequence of '''swimlanes '''if and only if the sequence of '''swimlane '''selections is in the same '''swimlane level'''.
+
 
+
The illustration below uses the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method to select a sequence of '''swimlanes''' followed by a right-click in one of the selected '''swimlanes''' to access the '''swimlane '''right-click '''context menu''' and the '''Hide swimlane '''as shown in the sequence below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(23-1)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(23-1)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When Step 3 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide swimlane''' command), the selected '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
'''Hiding''' the four '''swimlanes''' in '''Left#3 swimlane levels''', reduces the '''height''' of their parent '''Left#2 swimlane levels''' and the overall chart’s '''document height.'''
+
 
+
===Hiding Swimlanes Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Hide Swimlane Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You can use the '''Hide swimlane''' command shown above to '''hide''' a selected '''swimlane''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking in the '''row''' you desire to '''hide''' and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Hide swimlane '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(37)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(37)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, we highlighted the selected '''swimlane''' to make it clear which '''swimlane''' is involved.  When a right-click is made in a '''row''' of the '''graph area''', OnePager does not show the selection rectangle.  Since the intent of the illustration above is focused on the '''Hide swimlane''' command, the entire '''swimlane''' of interest is highlighted in red above.  Usually the upper right corner of the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is placed in the selected '''row''' so you know which '''row '''and '''swimlane''' the command is going to act on.
+
 
+
Clicking the '''Hide swimlane''' command shown above '''hides''' the '''swimlane '''of interest, all member '''rows''', and any '''text column cells''' associated with '''hidden rows'''.  If the '''hidden swimlane''' is the only '''swimlane''' in a '''higher level swimlane''', the '''higher level''' '''swimlane '''or '''swimlanes''' are also '''hidden'''.  If the '''parent swimlane''' remains after the '''Hide swimlane''' command is clicked, the remaining '''swimlanes height''' is adjusted.
+
 
+
After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed and the chart for this example looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(38)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(38)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
==Unhiding Hidden Swimlanes==
+
 
+
===Unhiding Hidden Swimlanes Using the OnePager Home Ribbon Tool Bar Tab’s Editing Control Group===
+
 
+
When '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' in the chart and it is necessary to '''unhide''' all of them, this can be done for all '''hidden swimlanes''' by using the '''Show All Swimlanes''' command found on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(25)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(25)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The illustration above shows where the four '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden'''.  As shown above, to '''unhide these swimlanes''' and all their '''rows''', access the '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group, click on the '''Show/Hide''' command to access the dropdown list, and click the '''Show All Swimlanes '''command.
+
 
+
When you click the '''Show All Swimlanes '''command, '''all hidden swimlanes''' are '''unhidden '''as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(26)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(26)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In addition to the ability of the '''Show All Swimlanes '''command to '''unhide '''all '''swimlanes''', since '''hidden swimlanes''' consist of at least one '''row''', using the '''Show All Rows '''command in the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group''' '''produces the same '''unhiding''' result for '''all hidden swimlanes'''.
+
 
+
===Unhiding Hidden Swimlanes Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form===
+
 
+
When you need to '''unhide '''one or more '''swimlanes''' when many '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''', using the '''Where’s My Stuff'''?! form is a convenient tool to selectively '''unhide swimlanes'''.
+
 
+
As mentioned in the discussion of '''unhiding rows '''using the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form above at:  [[Hiding and Unhiding Rows and Swimlanes for Version 7.0#Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form | Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form]], <!--12.13.1-70--> the form tracks '''hidden rows''' among other potentially '''hidden items''' in the chart.
+
 
+
To '''unhide hidden swimlanes''', it is therefore necessary to know and check the '''rows''' that are members of these '''hidden swimlanes''' you want to '''unhide'''.  As an example, suppose we '''hide''' the '''swimlanes''' that were '''hidden''' in the previous example above that results in this chart configuration:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The intent of the example is to '''unhide''' those two '''Left #3 swimlanes''' that are members of the '''Integration & Testing''' '''Left#2 swimlane level''' while leaving all other '''Left #3 swimlanes''' we previously '''hid''' as '''hidden'''. 
+
 
+
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form is accessed by again using the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list in the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing''' control group as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(27)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(27)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When you click the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command, the form is accessed and contains the list of task bars/milestone symbols that are associated with '''hidden rows''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(28)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(28)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
For more information on the utilization of the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form, please see the article at: [[Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!" for Version 7.0 | Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!"]] <!--9.4.1-70-->
+
 
+
For the purpose of the illustration here, suppose we want to '''unhide '''the '''Left#3 swimlane '''('''Subcontractor A - two rows''')''' '''that are members of the '''Left#2''' '''swimlane '''('''Integration & Testing''') and the '''Left#2''' '''swimlane '''('''Refactoring & Deployment'''), respectively.  The two '''grid rows''' in the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form above are: (1) '''Created MERLIN Subcontractor Subsystem''' in the '''Left#2 swimlane '''('''Integration & Testing''') and (2) '''MERLIN Subcontractor Rework''' ('''Refactoring & Deployment''').  To do this, click the '''Select '''column checkbox '''ON''' for each of the two '''Task Names''' of interest in the form as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(29)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(29)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Clicking the two '''Select''' column checkboxes '''ON''' as shown above, tells OnePager that you want OnePager to '''fix the selected '''issue in the '''selected grid row''' of the form.  To take this action, click the '''Fix Selected '''button shown in the form above and OnePager '''unhides''' to two identified '''Task Names''' and their '''rows''' to the chart as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(30)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(30)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
After the actions are taken, the '''unhidden rows''' are shown along with the '''Left#3 swimlane level cells.''' The task bars in the '''unhidden rows '''remain selected (Not visible in the above illustration). 
+
 
+
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form’s '''grid rows''' are '''updated''' to show the actions taken and a list of actions taken and their status is displayed in the form below the '''grid''' shown above.  The form remains open so you can take any additional '''fix actions'''.  If none are required, click the '''Close '''button to return to the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
 
+
===Unhiding Swimlanes Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Unhide All Swimlane Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You can use the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command shown above to '''unhide''' all '''swimlanes''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking '''anywhere''' in the '''graph area '''and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Unhide all swimlanes '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(40)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(40)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, the position of a '''hidden swimlanes''' is shown by the red arrow.  When a right-click is made in the '''graph area''', OnePager accesses the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' at the location near the right-click.  Clicking the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command shown above '''unhides''' the all '''swimlanes hidden''' in the chart, all '''hidden rows''' within those '''unhidden swimlanes''', and any '''text column cells''' associated with them.  '''Parent swimlane''' that are '''unhidden''' have their '''swimlane heights''' adjusted.
+
 
+
Depending on the '''rows''' contained in the '''unhidden swimlanes''', the '''document height''' is also adjusted in '''output media'''.  After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When '''swimlane levels''' are '''hidden''' in the chart, the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command is '''disabled'''.
+
 
+
For more information on '''hiding and unhiding swimlane levels''', please see the article at:  [[Manually Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels for Version 7.0 | Manually Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels]] <!--12.5.1-70-->
+
 
+
===Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Show Swimlane Labels Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(45)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(45)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''', the '''Show swimlane labels''' command, which is a '''toggle-type''' command, is '''toggled''' '''OFF'''.  The '''default setting''' for the '''Show swimlane labels '''command is '''toggled ON'''.
+
 
+
As a result, if any '''swimlane levels''' were present in the chart, they are no longer visible as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(46)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(46)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
To make all '''swimlane level cell labels '''visible in the chart, right-click anywhere in '''open space '''to access the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Show swimlane labels''' command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(47)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(47)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''Show swimlane labels '''command is '''toggled ON''', the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu '''closes and any '''enabled''' '''swimlane level cell labels''' are displayed in the chart.
+
 
+
The '''Show swimlane labels '''command is not '''enabled '''in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' if no '''swimlane levels '''are set to be displayed because they are not '''enabled''' in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(48)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(48)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
If '''swimlane levels''' are '''hidden '''by unchecking their respective '''Label by''' checkbox in their '''Swimlane Formatting – Left # n''' form, the '''Show swimlane labels '''command in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is '''toggled OFF'''.  In this case, '''toggling '''the '''Show swimlane labels''' command '''ON''', does result in all '''enabled swimlane levels''' becoming visible in the chart if their '''Group by''' checkbox was previously checked '''ON'''.  As a result of the above two cases, whenever one or more '''swimlane levels '''are '''enabled''' in the form above, the '''Show swimlane labels '''command in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is '''toggled ON'''.

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

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

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:

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:

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.
