There may be several good reasons to convert '''rows''' into '''swimlanes'''.  This may be to provide additional emphasis for the '''rows''' or to provide a '''swimlane level cell''' that can be '''edited''' with a different '''label'''. The command, '''Make each row into a swimlane''', resides in the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:

This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.

In order to use the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''', the chart must have at least '''one swimlane level defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart and the selected '''swimlane''' of interest must have a least '''two rows'''.
+
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.
  
−
The '''Make each row into a swimlane command''' is only '''enabled''' when the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' is accessed in the '''right-most swimlane level defined''' and''' showing''' in the chart as illustrated below where the '''Left#1 swimlane level''' is '''defined '''and '''shown''':

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>P70-12_20_1-(1)-08062020.png</center>-->

As an example, after using the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' in the illustration above, the resulting chart portion is reconfigured as shown below:

<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(2)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
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:

−
In using the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menus''' shown in the example 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 '''defined '''and '''showing''' in the chart. The '''Make each row into a swimlane command '''is only '''enabled''' when the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' is accessed from a '''right-most swimlane level defined''' and '''shown''' in the chart with at least '''two rows'''.
+

−
The '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menus''' can be used after selecting '''multiple swimlane level cells''' in several '''right-most swimlane level cells'''.  Once the '''new swimlane level cell labels''' are created, they can be '''edited''' like any other '''swimlane level cell labels'''.
+
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===
  
−
Making '''rows''' into '''swimlanes''' creates '''maverick swimlanes'''.  As mentioned above, attempting to use the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command from other than the '''right-most swimlane level defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart '''disables''' the command as shown below:
+
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>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
If the selected '''right-most swimlane level''' has only '''one member row''', the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is '''disabled''' 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:

This article describes the use of the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command for the situations where '''one or multiple right-most swimlane level cell '''are selected.
+
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:

In each of the sub-sections below the '''usual BlueGrass''' chart is shown with three '''swimlane levels defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart and two '''text columns''' for each '''row'''. In the simplest case, we can convert a '''right-most swimlane''' with '''multiple rows''' into '''new swimlanes''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
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.
  
−
:1)  Right-click in the desired '''right-most swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(5)-08062020.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_20_1-(5)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
:2) When the''' Make each row into a swimlane''' command is clicked, the '''four rows''' in the single selected '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are converted into '''four new Left#3 swimlane level cells''' as shown here:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(6)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
In the chart with '''column splitting''' shown above, there are now several more task bars in the '''Chart Editor''' than there were before.  The task bar for '''Plate Movement''' is now '''split into two (2) separate task bars''', one for each of the '''two resources assigned'''. The task bar for '''Centrifugal Barrier''' is now '''split into three (3) separate task bars''', one for each of the '''three resources''' that were assigned to this task in the Asana '''source plan'''.  Each of the '''resources''' has a unique '''color''' assigned.  Each of the '''resources''' appears by itself in the '''Legend'''.  The '''Legend title''' shows the '''column name''' that is used for '''splitting the columns'''.
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(6)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
In the case illustrated above, the new '''swimlanes''' become members of the associated '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2''' '''swimlane level cells'''.  Each '''new swimlane level cells''' at the '''Left#3 swimlane level''' takes their '''swimlane level cell labels''' from the '''label '''of the original selected '''single Left#3 swimlane level cell’s label'''.
+
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'''.
  
−
==Making Each Row into a Swimlane from Multiple Swimlanes with Multiple Rows==
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
−
OnePager supports the selection and conversion of '''multiple right-most swimlane level cells''' with '''multiple rows''' into '''swimlanes''' using the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command found in '''the swimlane level''' right-click '''content menu'''.  For selecting '''multiple right-most swimlane level cells''', the '''swimlanes''' selected must have '''two or more rows'''.  If a selected '''right-most swimlane level cell''' is selected having only '''one row''' along with a '''right-most swimlane level cells''' with '''multiple rows''', the selected '''right-most swimlane level cell''' having only '''one row '''is '''ignored '''when the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is clicked.
+
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.
−
 
+
−
When, under any circumstances, you select a '''right-most swimlane level cell''' with '''only one row''', the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is '''disabled''' because the selected '''row''' in the '''right-most swimlane level cell''' is already a '''swimlane'''.  Selection of '''right-most swimlane level cells''' can be done using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method to select individual '''right-most swimlane level cells''' one at a time or the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method to select a sequence of adjacent '''right-most swimlane level cells'''.
+
−
 
+
−
===Multiple Right-Most Swimlane Level Cells Selected with the CTL+Left-Click Method===
+
−
 
+
−
If the '''CTL+Left-Click '''is used to select individual '''right-most swimlane level cells''', the selected '''swimlanes''' look like this example:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(7)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(7)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
In the illustration above, either '''right-most swimlane level cell highlighted''' can be right-clicked to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here where the '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is right-clicked:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(8)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(8)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is clicked, the chart is reconfigured as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(9)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(9)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Above the two sets of selected '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' are converted to individual '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' with '''labels''' taken from the original '''Left#3 swimlane level cell’s label'''.
+
−
 
+
−
===Example Where a Selected Right-Most Swimlane Level Cell Has Only One Row===
+
−
 
+
−
Suppose we change the example above by selecting the '''Team 1 Left#3 swimlane level cell''' which is a member of the '''Phase I and Development Left#1 and Left#2 swimlane level cells''' along with the original '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(10)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(10)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The next step to make all these '''rows''' into '''swimlanes''' is to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' which, for this example, is done by right-clicking in the '''Team 1 Left#3 swimlane level cell''' to get the results shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(11)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(11)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Since the selected '''Team 1 Left#3 swimlane level cell''' has only '''one row''', the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is '''disabled'''.  As the alternative, if we right-click in the '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''', which as '''four rows''', we access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' where the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is '''enabled''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(12)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(12)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
When '''the Make each row into a swimlane''' command is clicked in the above illustration, the reconfigured chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(13)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(13)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
In the above illustration, the '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is converted into '''four Prime Left#3 swimlane level cells''' of '''one row each''' and the '''Team 1 Left#3 swimlane level cell''' is '''ignored'''.
+
−
 
+
−
===Multiple Right-Most Swimlane Level Cells Selected with the SHIFT+Left-Click Method===
+
−
 
+
−
If the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''is used to select a sequence of adjacent '''right-most swimlane level cells''', the selected '''swimlanes''' look like this example:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(14)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(14)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
In the illustration above, any of the '''three right-most swimlane level cell highlighted''' containing '''more than one row''' can be right-clicked to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(15)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(15)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
When the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is clicked, the chart is reconfigured as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_20_1-(16)-08062020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_20_1-(16)-08062020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
In the example illustrated above, '''three of the four Left#3 swimlane level cells''' selected using the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method were converted to '''single row Left#3 swimlane level'''.  The selected '''Left#3 swimlane level cell''' with '''only one row (Team 1)''', although selected, is '''ignored''' in the operation because its '''row''' also holds the status of '''swimlane'''.
+
−
 
+
−
==Changes to the Chart When Making Each Row into a Swimlane==
+
−
 
+
−
From the illustrations and examples provided in the article, converting '''rows into swimlanes''' at the '''right-most swimlane level''' has minimal impact on the '''height''' of the '''individual converted right-most swimlane level cells''' and the participating '''rows'''.  When there are '''two or more swimlane levels''' '''defined '''and''' showing''' in the chart, '''converting a right-most swimlane level cell''' with '''more than one row''' into '''several swimlanes''' has no impact of the '''height''' of the parent '''swimlane level cells'''.
+
−
 
+
−
Converting '''any number of right-most swimlane level cells''' with '''more than one row''' into '''swimlanes''' has no impact on the '''document height''' of the chart.  All converted '''swimlanes''' are considered '''mavericks'''.
+
−
 
+
−
Once the '''Make each row into a swimlane''' command is completed, the resulting '''converted swimlanes''' can be '''edited''' with respect to their '''swimlane level cell properties''', their '''position''' in the chart, and the '''properties of the row''' and any task bars/milestone symbols occupying the '''rows'''.
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on '''editing the properties of swimlanes''', please see the article at: [[Editing Swimlane Properties for Version 7.0 | Editing Swimlane Properties]] <!--12.23.1-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
Applying the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu’s Merge swimlanes''' command to selected '''converted rows''' that are '''now swimlane''', may not result in '''restoring''' the chart to its original configuration due to these converted '''rows''' becoming '''mavericks'''.
+
−
 
+

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.
