'''Swimlanes''' are initially '''grouped''' by OnePager '''automatically''' based on '''imported''' Microsoft Project or Excel '''source plan data''' determined by settings made in either the '''Template''' or in the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab. '''Swimlanes''' with more than one '''row''' can be manually divided into two '''swimlanes''' after the chart is created by using the '''Split swimlane''' command found in the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' shown here:
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.

==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==

There are two options available for '''splitting swimlanes''' at the '''row level''': (1) '''At top of row''' and (2) '''At bottom of row'''.  Accordingly, the '''Split swimlane''' command has two sub-commands as shown here where a '''text column cell '''is selected with a right-click:
+
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===

'''Splitting a swimlane''' is not possible if '''swimlane levels''' are not originally established for the chart.  '''Swimlanes''' can be '''split''' if '''swimlanes''' are '''grouped''' but not '''shown''' in the chart.  If a '''row''' is selected that is the only member of the associated '''lowest level swimlane''', the '''Split swimlane''' command is '''disabled'''.
+
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:
  
−
A '''swimlane''' can only be '''split''' at the '''lowest swimlane level''':
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
:* When there are two or more '''rows''' in the '''lowest swimlane level''' that the selected '''row''' is a member, as shown in the above chart, the result of '''splitting the swimlane''' applies only to the '''lowest level swimlane'''.   
+
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:
−
:* If this '''lowest level swimlane''' has membership in '''higher level swimlanes''', these '''higher level swimlanes''' are not altered by the action taken to '''split the lowest level swimlane'''.
+
−
:* When these conditions are not met, the '''Split swimlane''' command is '''disabled''' in the '''text column''' right-click context menu.
+
  
−
However, you should be aware that adding another swimlane level as the new '''lowest swimlane level''' after '''splitting the previous lowest level swimlane''' negates the previous lowest level swimlane split action'''.

An example is provided in the sub-section at this link: [[Splitting Swimlanes for Version 7.0#Caution When Adding New Swimlane Levels | Caution When Adding New Swimlane Levels]] <!--12.17.1-70-->
+
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.
  
−
Multiple '''rows''' can be selected in the chart and the '''Split swimlane''' command is '''enabled''' when all selected '''rows''' meet the conditions stated above.
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
−
==Splitting a Swimlane==
+
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:
  
−
===Splitting a Single Swimlane - Example===

As a simple example, we’ll use a portion of the chart shown below which has four''' rows''' in the top most set of '''swimlanes''' and one '''row''' in the '''swimlane''' just below as shown here:
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
−

+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
To illustrate the constraint that there must be two or more '''rows''' in a '''swimlane''', we’ll right-click the single '''text column cell''' to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' where the '''Split swimlane''' command is '''disabled''' as shown below:
+
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:

====Splitting a Swimlane At Top of Row====
+
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.
  
−
The following sequence illustrated how to '''split '''the '''Prime swimlane''' which is the '''top most set of swimlanes''' in the chart at the '''row '''containing the '''MERLIN Subcontractor Selection''' task bar and '''split the swimlane at the top of the row'''.
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
−
:1) Right-click the '''text column cell''' for the '''row''' containing the '''MERLIN Subcontractor Selection''' task bar to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
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_17_1-(4)-07282020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>

+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
:2) Next, move the mouse over to the '''Split swimlane''' command which automatically accesses the two sub-command as shown here:
+
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'''.
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(5-1)-07302020.png]]</center>
+
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>P70-12_17_1-(5-1)-07302020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
:3) Select the '''At top of row''' sub-command by moving the mouse to the '''At top of row''' sub-command as shown below:
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(6)-07282020.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>P70-12_17_1-(6)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:4) When the '''Split swimlane/At top of row''' command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager creates a '''new Left#3 swimlane level cell''' for '''Prime''' containing the two '''rows above the selected row '''with their associated '''text column cells''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(7)-07282020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(7)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The essential change made above is that a '''new Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is created '''above the original Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' and the '''new Prime swimlane level cell''' contains the '''rows''' that are '''above '''the selected '''row'''.  The '''rows''' involved in the '''split swimlane''' process remain at their original '''height'''.  The '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' have not changed '''height''' nor has the '''document’s height''' changed.  However, the space once occupied by the '''single Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is now '''split''' between the two '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cells'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Splitting a Swimlane At Bottom of Row====
+
−
 
+
−
If we go back to the original configuration of the chart we started with and use the '''Split swimlane At bottom of row''' command/sub-command, the resulting chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(8)-07282020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(8)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The essential change made above is that a '''new Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is created '''below the original Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' and the '''new Prime swimlane level cell''' contains one '''row''' that is '''below '''the selected '''row'''.  The '''rows''' involved in the '''split swimlane''' process remain at their original '''height'''.  The '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' have not changed '''height''' nor has the '''document’s height''' changed.  However, the space once occupied by the '''single Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is now '''split''' between the two '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cells'''.
+
−
 
+
−
===Splitting a Multiple Swimlanes - Example===
+
−
 
+
−
You can select multiple '''rows''' in the chart and create '''additional swimlanes''' by using the '''swimlane splitting''' process described above.  In order to do so, the '''multiple rows''' selected must be members of '''lowest level swimlanes''' with '''two or more rows'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Splitting Multiple Swimlanes At Top of Row====
+
−
 
+
−
The following sequence illustrated how to '''split '''the '''Prime and Team 2 swimlane''' which are near the top of the chart at the '''rows '''containing the '''MERLIN Subcontractor Selection''' task bar and the '''Resistance calibration '''task bar. The illustration sequence below '''split the swimlanes at the top of their respective rows'''.
+
−
 
+
−
:1) Using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method, left-click the two '''text column cells''' '''(rows)''' shown below then right-click the '''text column cell''' for the '''Resistance calibration '''task bar to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:

+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(9)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:2) Next, move the mouse over to the '''Split swimlane''' command which automatically accesses the two sub-command as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(10-1)-07302020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(10-1)-07302020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:3) Select the '''At top of row''' sub-command by moving the mouse to the '''At top of row''' sub-command as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(11)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(11)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:4) When the '''Split swimlane/At top of row''' command/sub-command is clicked, OnePager creates '''new Left#3 swimlane level cells''' for '''Prime''' and '''Team 2 '''containing the '''rows above the selected row '''with their associated '''text column cells''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(12)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(12)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The essential changes made above are that a '''new Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are created '''above the original Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells''' and the '''new Prime and Team 2 swimlane level cells''' contains the '''rows''' that are '''above '''the selected '''rows'''.  The '''rows''' involved in the '''split swimlane''' process remain at their original '''height'''.  The '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' have not changed '''height''' nor has the '''document’s height''' changed.  However, the space once occupied by the '''single Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are now '''split''' between the two '''Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Splitting Multiple Swimlanes At Bottom of Row====
+
−
 
+
−
If we go back to the original configuration of the chart we started with and use the '''Split swimlane At bottom of row''' command/sub-command, the resulting chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(13)-07282020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(13)-07282020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
In the above illustration, a different '''row''' in the '''Team 2 Left#3 swimlane''' is selected as the second of the multiple '''rows''' to participate in the '''Split swimlane''' operation.  This is because the '''row''' for '''Resistance calibration''' is the '''bottom row''' in the '''swimlane''' and, therefore, a '''split in the swimlane''' cannot be made '''at the bottom''' where there is '''no additional row'''.  When this situation is selected in the chart, the sub-command for '''At bottom of row''' is '''disabled''' in the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu'''.
+
−
 
+
−
In a similar way selecting, the '''top row in a swimlane''' and attempting to '''split the swimlane At top of row''' is not possible and the '''At top of row''' sub-command is '''disabled''' in this case.  The essential changes made above are that a '''new Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are created '''below the original Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells''' and the '''new Prime and Team 2 swimlane level cells''' contain '''rows''' that are '''below '''the selected '''rows'''.  The '''rows''' involved in the '''split swimlane''' process remain at their original '''height'''.  The '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' have not changed '''height''' nor has the '''document’s height''' changed.  However, the space once occupied by the '''Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are now '''split''' between the '''Prime and Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cells'''.

==More on Split Swimlanes==

===Maverick Swimlane Level Cells===
+
−
 
+
−
'''Split swimlane level cells''' are considered to be '''mavericks''' until the '''splitting is revered''' as discussed below.
+
−
 
+
−
===Hidden Swimlanes===
+
−
 
+
−
Some care should be taken when '''splitting swimlanes '''if one or more '''swimlane levels''' that are '''hidden.  Hidden swimlanes''' are different from '''swimlane levels''' that don’t exist because they were never '''grouped''' by OnePager.
+
−
 
+
−
For example, if the all three '''swimlane levels''' are '''grouped''' and '''shown''' in the chart, '''hiding '''the '''Left#3 swimlane level''', selecting a '''row '''in a '''Left#3 swimlane level''', and using the '''Split swimlanes''' command, '''splits the swimlane''' but since the '''Left#3 swimlane level cells are hidden''', the result is not apparent in the chart.  If you go to the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab’s '''Swimlanes '''control group and use the controls to '''unhide the Left#3 swimlane level cells''', the '''split swimlanes''' are '''shown''' in the chart.
+
−
 
+
−
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-->
+

+
−
===Reversing Split Swimlanes===
+
−
 
+
−
If you decide that the results of '''splitting one or more swimlanes''' are not acceptable, there are several ways to '''reverse''' the process.
+
−
 
+
−
====Using the UNDO Button====
+
−
 
+
−
First, you can immediately use the '''UNDO''' command found above the OnePager ribbon tool bar to put the '''split swimlane or swimlanes''' back in their original configuration.
+
−
 
+
−
====Using the Merge Swimlanes Command====
+
−
 
+
−
If the '''UNDO''' command is not appropriate, use the '''Merge swimlanes''' command found in the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' after you’ve selected the two '''swimlane level cells''' involved.  It is not recommend that the '''Merge swimlanes''' command be used to '''merge multiple swimlanes'''.  This may not produce the desired results when '''split swimlane sets''' belong to different '''parent levels''' in the Microsoft Project '''source plan'''.  It is preferable to '''merge swimlanes''' that were previously '''split''' in the order and in same combinations that were previously used to '''split''' these '''swimlanes'''.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on '''merging swimlanes''', please see the article at:  [[Merging Swimlanes for Version 7.0 | Merging Swimlanes]] <!--12.21.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
====Re-Grouping the Lowest Level Swimlane====
+
−
 
+
−
A third method for '''reversing split swimlanes''' is to '''re-group''' the '''Left#3 swimlane level temporarily''' using the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab’s '''Swimlanes '''control group controls as illustrated in the sequence below:
+
−
 
+
−
:1) To demonstrate this method, let’s start with the illustration used above to demonstrate '''the Split swimlanes At top of row''' shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(12)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(12)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:2) The next step is to access the '''Chart Properties '''form at the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab and the '''Left#3 '''sub-tab and change the '''Group by setting''' to '''Text30''' which is going to be the '''temporary re-grouping setting '''as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(14)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(14)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:3) When this action is take the chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(15)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(15)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
:4) The last step is to again access the '''Chart Properties''' form at the '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab’s '''Swimlanes '''control group and change the '''Left#3 Group by setting''' back to '''Resource Names''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(16)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(16)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Left#3 swimlane level’s Group by setting''' is changed back to '''Resource Names''', the chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(17)-07292020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(17)-07292020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The result above, is that the previously '''split swimlanes''' are '''revered''' and the chart is restored to its original configuration.
+
−
 
+
−
===Labels for Split Swimlanes===
+
−
 
+
−
As shown in the multiple example illustrations use in this article, OnePager '''duplicates''' the '''lowest level swimlane cell’s label''' in the '''new swimlane level cell’s label''' location.  The '''new swimlane level cell label''' is treated like any other '''swimlane level cell''' '''label''' by OnePager when '''swimlanes''' are '''edited''' using the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab.  '''New swimlane level cell labels''' can be''' manually''' selected and '''edited''' like any other '''swimlane level cell label''' at any '''level'''.
+
−

==Caution  When Adding New Swimlane Levels==
+
−
 
+
−
In previous sections the discussion and examples showed that '''splitting swimlanes''' is reserved for the '''lowest swimlane level'''.  However, after '''splitting a swimlane''' in the chart at the '''lowest swimlane level''' you are not prohibited from adding a '''swimlane level''' as a '''new lowest swimlane level''' to the chart.  Doing so '''negates''' the previous '''splitting of the lowest swimlane level''' and returns that '''previous lowest level swimlane cell''' to its previous condition as shown in the following sequence.
+
−
 
+
−
Suppose we start with a chart configuration where the a '''Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is '''split into individual swimlanes''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(18)-08132020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(18)-08132020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
If we access the '''Chart Properties''' form at the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab and add the '''Left#3 swimlane level''' to the chart, the chart is reconfigured to look like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_17_1-(19)-08132020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_17_1-(19)-08132020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The result from taking the above action is:
+
−
 
+
−
:1) The '''new lowest swimlane level - Left#3''' is added to the chart.
+
−
 
+
−
:2) Since there was at least one previously '''lowest swimlane level''' with a '''split swimlane level cell''', that '''cell''' is '''re-consolidated''' into a '''single Left#2 swimlane level cell'''.
+
−
 
+
−
:3) The previously '''split swimlane level cell''' at the '''Left#2 swimlane level''' is no longer considered a '''maverick swimlane level cell''' with respect to possessing '''split swimlanes'''.
+
−
 
+
−
If there were previously '''multiple Left#2 swimlane level cells split into individual swimlanes''', the action taken above to add the '''Left#3 swimlane level re-consolidates''' all previously '''split Left#2  swimlane level cells'''.

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.
