==Introduction==
  
In the context of this article, '''adding a row''' or '''adding a swimlane''' means making the '''addition''' manually to an existing chart.  This is done through the use of the '''add''' commands found in the three right-click '''context menus''' you have available in the chart as shown below.
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
===Swimlane Level Right-Click Context Menu===
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
The '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' looks like this:
+
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===
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(1A)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
  
The '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu '''contains a command for '''adding swimlane Above or Below''' an existing '''swimlane''' as shown here:
+
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>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(1)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(1)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
Additionally, the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' has commands for '''Add row to swimlane At top of swimlane or At bottom of swimlane''' as shown here:
+
Some of the entries in the '''Assigned to''' column consist of multiple, '''comma-separated''' items and some tasks only used one '''resource'''.  Without the '''column splitting''' feature, a chart '''created''' from these data and assigned task bar/milestone symbol '''colors''' based upon the '''Assigned to''' column looks like this:
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(1A)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>

+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
===Text Column Right-Click Context Menu===
+
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.
  
The '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' looks like this:
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(2A)-07282020.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_16_1-(2A)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
  
The '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' with its '''Add row Above or Below '''commands/sub-commands is shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png]]</center>

<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
The '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' looks like this:
+
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:

<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
The '''open space '''right-click context menu has an '''Add swimlane Above or Below '''command/sub-commands as 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===
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(3)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
  
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' also has an '''Add row Above or Below '''command/sub-commands as shown below:
+
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>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(3A)-07242020.png]]</center>

In using any of the right-click '''context menus''' shown in the illustrations above, it is important to place the mouse cursor in the desired selection area before performing the right-click.  To be able to use the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''', at least one '''swimlane level''' must be present in the chartLikewise, to use the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''', at least one '''text column''' must be present in the chart.  The '''swimlane level '''and '''text column '''right-click '''context menus''' can be used after selecting '''multiple swimlane level cells''' or '''multiple text column cells'''.  The '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' can only be used to select one '''row''' in the '''graph area''' and the command generally applies to the selected '''row''' or to the '''swimlane levels''' to which the selected '''row''' has membership.
+
In the chart with '''column splitting''' shown above, there are now several more task bars in the '''Chart Editor''' than there were beforeThe 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 article provides instruction on the use of these three right-click context menus with examples.
+
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'''.
  
Please use the '''links''' in the '''Contents Box''' above quickly jump to a particular topic.
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
==Using the Swimlane Level Right-Click Context Menu==
+
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.
 
+
===Adding Swimlanes Above or Below Existing Swimlane ===
+
 
+
'''Maverick''' '''swimlanes''' can be '''added''' to the chart at any '''swimlane level''' using the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu’s''' '''Add swimlane''' command.  You have two options within the selected '''swimlane''' as to where to place the '''added row''': (1) '''Above''' or (2) '''Below''' the selected '''swimlane'''.  A single '''swimlane''' is added to the selected '''swimlane''' in the specified '''position'''.  The '''added swimlane''' consists of one '''row''' '''empty''' of any task bars/milestone symbols, there are no '''labels''' in any '''text column cells''' associated with the '''added row''', and there is no '''label''' in the '''swimlane level cell or cells''' created with the new '''row'''.
+
 
+
=====Selecting a Single Swimlane Level Cell - Example=====
+
 
+
The following sequence of illustrations show how a '''swimlane''' can be '''added''' to a '''Left#2 swimlane level '''using the '''Above '''sub-command:
+
 
+
:1) Right-click in the desired '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(4)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(4)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:2) Next, move the mouse over to the '''Add swimlane''' command which automatically accesses the two sub-command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(5)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(5)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:3) Select the '''Above''' sub-command by moving the mouse to the '''Above''' sub-command as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(6)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(6)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:4) When the '''Add swimlane/Above''' command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager places a '''blank row above''' the selected '''swimlane level cell''' consisting of '''blank text column cells''', if any, and '''blank Left#2''' and '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(7)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(7)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
A similar result is achieved when the selected command/sub-command combination is '''Add swimlane/Below'''.
+
 
+
=====Selecting Multiple Swimlane Levels Cell - Example=====
+
 
+
'''Swimlanes''' can be '''added''' to multiple '''swimlane level cells''' by selecting multiple '''swimlane level cells''' in the same '''swimlane''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(8)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(8)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager places three '''empty swimlanes''' into the chart as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(9)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(9)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The added '''swimlanes''' in this case have the same initial properties as with the case where only one new '''swimlane''' was added '''Above''' or '''Below''' the selected '''swimlane level cell'''.
+
 
+
===Adding Row to Swimlane At Top or Bottom of an Existing Swimlane ===
+
 
+
'''Maverick''' '''rows''' can be added to the chart at any '''swimlane level''' using the '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu’s''' command.  You have two options within the selected '''swimlane''' as to where to place the added '''row''': (1) '''At top of swimlane''' or (2) '''At bottom of swimlane'''.  A single '''row''' is added to the selected '''swimlane''' in the specified '''position'''.  The '''added row''' is '''empty''' of any task bars/milestone symbols, there are no '''labels''' in any '''text column cells''' associated with the '''added row''', and there is no '''label''' in the '''swimlane level cell''' created with the new '''row'''.
+
 
+
=====Selecting a Single Swimlane Level Cell - Example=====
+
 
+
The following sequence of illustrations show how a '''row''' can be '''added''' to a '''Left#2 swimlane level '''using the '''top of swimlane '''sub-command:
+
 
+
:1) Right-click in the desired '''swimlane level cell''' to access the b right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(4)-07242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(4)-07242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:2) Next, move the mouse over to the '''Add row to swimlane''' command which automatically accesses the two sub-command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(10)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(10)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:3) Select the '''At top of swimlane''' sub-command by moving the mouse to the '''At top of swimlane''' sub-command as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(11)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(11)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:4) When the '''Add row to swimlane/At top of swimlane''' command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager places a '''blank row at the top of''' '''the selected''' '''swimlane level cell''' that is '''empty''' of task bars/milestone symbols and with '''blank text column cells''', if any, as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(12)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(12)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the case illustrated above, the new '''row''' becomes the '''top row''' of the selected '''swimlane '''shown in the above chart portion.  The '''row''' added '''at the top''' of the selected '''swimlane level cell''' in the above example is a member of all three '''swimlane levels'''.  A similar result is achieved when the selected command/sub-command combination is '''Add row to swimlane/At bottom of swimlane'''.
+
 
+
=====Selecting Multiple Swimlane Levels Cells - Example=====
+
 
+
'''Rows''' can be added to '''multiple swimlane level cells''' by selecting '''multiple swimlane level cells''' in the same '''swimlane '''as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(13)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(13)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager places three empty rows into the chart as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(14)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(14)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the case illustrated above, the new '''rows''' become the '''top row''' of each of the three '''swimlane levels''' '''shown''' in the above chart portion.  The '''row''' added '''at the top''' of the selected '''swimlane level cells''' in the above example is a member of all three '''swimlane levels'''.  A similar result is achieved when the selected command/sub-command combination is '''Add row to swimlane/At bottom of swimlane'''.
+
 
+
==Using the Text Column Right-Click Context Menu==
+
 
+
===Adding Rows Above or Below an Existing Row ===
+
 
+
'''Maverick''' '''rows''' can be added to the chart from any '''text column cell '''using the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu’s''' '''Add row''' command.  Rows are selected from their associated text column cells.  Therefore, there must be at least one '''text column''' defined and showing for '''rows''' in the chart.
+
 
+
You have two options within the selected '''text column cell (row)''' as to where to place the added '''row''': (1) '''Above''' or (2) '''Below''' the selected '''text column cell'''.  A single '''row''' is added to the selected '''text column (row)''' in the specified '''position'''.  The '''added row''' is '''empty''' of any task bars/milestone symbols and there are no '''labels''' in any '''text column cells''' associated with the '''added row'''.
+
 
+
====Adding a New Row Above an Existing Swimlane - Example====
+
 
+
=====Selecting a Single Text Column Cell - Example=====
+
 
+
The following sequence of illustrations show how a '''row''' can be '''added above or below''' a selected '''text column cell '''using the '''Add row/Above '''command/sub-command:
+
 
+
:1) Right-click in the desired '''text column cell''' to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(15)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(15)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:2) Next, move the mouse over to the '''Add row''' command which automatically accesses the two sub-command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(16)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(16)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:3) Select the '''Above''' sub-command by moving the mouse to the '''Above''' sub-command as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(17)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(17)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
:4) When the '''Add row/Above''' command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager places a '''blank row above''' the selected '''text column cell''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(18)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(18)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
A similar result is achieved when the selected command/sub-command combination is '''Add row/Below'''.
+
 
+
The '''added row''' is '''empty''' of any task bars/milestone symbols and there are no '''labels''' in any '''text column cells''' associated with the '''added row'''.
+
 
+
=====Selecting Multiple Text Column Cells- Example=====
+
 
+
'''Rows''' can be added to multiple '''text column cells''' '''(rows) '''by selecting multiple '''text column cells''' in the same '''text column''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(19)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(19)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager places three '''empty rows''' into the chart as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(20)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(20)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The added '''rows''' in this case have the same initial properties as with the case where only one new '''row''' was added '''Above''' or '''Below''' the selected '''text column cell'''.  The '''added rows''' are '''empty''' of any task bars/milestone symbols and there are no '''labels''' in any '''text column cells''' associated with the '''added rows'''.
+
 
+
==Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu==
+
 
+
The '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' contains serval commands that are also found in the '''swimlane level''' and '''text column''' right-click '''context menus '''as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(3B)-07282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(3B)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In particular the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is useful for '''adding swimlanes''' and/or '''adding rows''' when neither '''swimlane level cells''' nor '''text column cells''' are visible in the chart.  To do either of these operations, place the mouse cursor in the nearest '''row''' where you want the added '''swimlane''' or '''row''', click either the '''Add swimlane/Above or Below''' command/sub-command or the '''Add row/Above or Below''' command/sub-command, and OnePager places a '''single empty swimlane/row''' in the desired position.  It is only possible to '''add one swimlane''' or '''add one row at a time''' using the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' and the '''Add swimlane''' or '''Add row''' commands.
+
 
+
The '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' looks like this in a chart where '''swimlane levels''' and '''text columns''' are not shown:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_16_1-(21)-07272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_16_1-(21)-07272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Adding Swimlanes Above or Below an Existing Row ===
+
 
+
As mentioned above, using the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' to '''Add swimlane/Above''' or '''Below''' involves the same steps as using the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu’s Add swimlane/Above''' or '''Below''' commands/sub-commands when '''swimlane level cells''' are '''shown''' in the chartThe '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' commands can be used when '''swimlane level cells''' are '''shown''' in the chart and the '''added swimlane''' becomes a member of the '''lowest level swimlane''' being '''shown'''. 
+
 
+
When '''swimlane levels''' are '''shown''' in the chart, the process to '''Add swimlane/Above''' or '''Below''' is the same as the steps demonstrated in the example at:  [[Adding a Row or Swimlane for Version 7.0#Adding a New Swimlane Above an Existing Swimlane - Example | Adding a New Swimlane Above an Existing Swimlane - Example]] <!-12.16.1-70-->
+
 
+
Keep in mind that only '''one swimlane''' can be '''added at a time''' when the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is used for this purpose.  It is not possible to make multiple selections with the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu '''using any of the multiple selections methods.  When multiple right-clicks are performed in '''open space''', the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is placed at the point of the '''last right-click'''.
+
 
+
===Adding Rows Above or Below an Existing Row===
+
 
+
As mentioned above, using the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' to '''Add row/Above''' or '''Below''' involves the same steps as using the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu’s Add row/Above''' or '''Below''' commands/sub-commands when '''text column cells''' are '''shown''' in the chart.  The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' commands can be used when '''text column cells''' are '''shown''' in the chart and the '''added row''' becomes a member of the '''lowest level swimlane''' being '''shown'''. 
+
 
+
When '''swimlane levels''' are '''shown''' in the chart, the process to '''Add row/Above''' or '''Below''' is the same as the steps demonstrated in the example at:  [[Adding a Row or Swimlane for Version 7.0#Adding a New Row at the Top of an Existing Swimlane - Example | Adding a New Row at the Top of an Existing Swimlane - Example]] <!-12.16.1-70-->
+
 
+
Keep in mind that only '''one row''' can be '''added at a time''' when the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is used for this purpose.  It is not possible to make multiple selections with the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu'''.  When multiple right-clicks are performed in '''open space''', the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is placed at the point of the '''last right-click'''.

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.
