| − | ==Overview== | + | ==Introduction== |
| | | | |
| − | In OnePager Express provides a feature for controlling the '''showing''' and '''hiding''' '''Time Axis Level Cells'''. In previous versions of OnePager Express all '''Time Axis cells''' in a given '''Time Axis Level '''are always '''shown'''. While this made it possible to have a complete and contiguous '''timespan '''displayed in the chart, for very long '''timespans''' there was no way '''cut out''' a proportion of the '''timespan''' where less interest should be focused in a schedule discussion.
| + | This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''. |
| | | | |
| − | The capability to '''hide Time Axis Level Cells''' anywhere in the chart’s '''timespan''' provides a way to tailor long '''timespan '''charts to achieve the desired focus.
| + | ==About Splitting and Parsing Fields== |
| | | | |
| − | ===Global Showing and Hiding of Time Axis Level Cells===
| + | 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 controls for both globally '''showing''' and '''hiding Time Axis Level Cells '''using the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties ''' forms and manual '''editing '''in the chart itself. Additionally, there are provisions for recording '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells '''in the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties''' forms as well as an '''editing '''technique to make all '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' visible with one click. In the '''Template Properties '''form there is a sub-tab of the '''Time Axis '''tab called the '''Format '''sub-tab that provides two control group with the one of interest here called the '''Curtains and Timespans '''control group shown below the '''Days of the Week and Non-Working Times''' control group in the following illustration:
| + | ===Split Resource Names Example=== |
| | | | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(2)-11182020.png]]</center>
| + | 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>X70-22_3_4-70-(2)-11182020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | There is a corresponding '''Format '''sub-tab located in the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab with the same two control groups as shown here:
| + | <center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center> |
| | + | <center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center> |
| | | | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(1)-11182020.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: |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(1)-11182020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | In the two forms above, the '''Curtains and Timespans '''control group, which is referred to often in this document as '''The Grid''', records any '''Time Axis Level Cells '''that are '''hidden''' manually with the attributes of the '''hidden cells''' recorded in each of the columns of '''The Grid''' shown above. '''The Grid''' is also used to record and '''edit Curtains''' of all types shown in the chart and its snapshots.

| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Additionally, note the buttons below '''The Grid''' where you can be used to '''add '''a '''timespan''', '''delete '''a selected '''timespan entry '''in '''The Grid''', and '''copy '''a selected '''timespan entry '''in order to '''create/edit''' the copy as desired. '''Timespans''' are '''snapshot-independent''' which means that the content of '''The Grid '''in terms of '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' is a function of the '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' in each snapshot in a chart. OnePager builds '''The Grid''' and its entries based upon the snapshot being displayed in the '''Chart Editor.'''
| + | ===Enabling Splitting=== |
| | | | |
| − | ===Manually Hiding, Showing, and Formatting of Individual Time Axis Level Cells===
| + | 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: |
| | | | |
| − | '''Time Axis Level Cells''' as well as '''Floating Time Axis Level Cells''' can be '''hidden''' by manually selecting one or more '''Cells '''in a '''Time Axis Level '''with left-clicks and then right-clicking on a selected '''Cell '''to access the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:
| + | <center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png]]</center> |
| | + | <center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center> |
| | | | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(3)-11182020.png]]</center>
| + | 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>X70-22_3_4-70-(3)-11182020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | Clicking the '''Hide cell''' command in the above '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' makes the three selected '''Bottom Time Axis Level Cells''' disappear from the chart along with portions of the task bars/milestone symbols occupying the '''timespan''' being '''hidden''' in the '''graph'''. The result of clicking the '''Hide cell '''command looks like this:
| + | <center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png]]</center> |

| | | | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(4)-11182020.png]]</center>
| + | 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>X70-22_3_4-70-(4)-11182020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | OnePager provides a single control to '''unhide''' all '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' with one click using the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''group as shown below:
| + | <center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center> |
| | + | <center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center> |
| | | | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(4A)-11182020.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>X70-22_3_4-70-(4A)-11182020.png</center>-->

| | | | |
| − | The purpose of this article is to cover '''global''' and '''manual showing '''and''' hiding '''of''' Time Axis Level Cells''' as over viewed above. In addition, this article covers the manual '''editing '''of '''Time Axis Level Cell properties''' in the chart.
| + | ===Split Resources in the Chart=== |
| | | | |
| − | ==The Timespans Grid in the Template Properties and Chart Properties Form’s Time Axis-Format Sub-Tab==
| + | 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: |
| | | | |
| − | ===The Grid Controls in the Chart Properties Form===

| | | | |
| − | '''The Grid''', found in both the '''Template Properties '''form and '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab at the '''Format '''sub-tab,''' '''is an important addition to OnePager Express. It is used for '''recording''', '''creating''', and '''editing''' '''hidden timespans '''in your chart. '''The Grid''' is also used for '''recording''', '''creating''', and '''editing''' '''all Curtains''' in the chart. | + | 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'''. |
| | | | |
| − | For more information on '''Creating, editing, and managing time axis daily curtains''', please see the article at: [[Creating, Editing, and Managing Time Axis Daily Curtains for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Creating, Editing, and Managing Time Axis Daily Curtains for OnePager Express]] <!--22.5.6-70-->
| + | 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'''. |
| | | | |
| − | For the context here, focusing on '''showing ''' and '''hiding Time Axis Cells''', whenever a '''Time Axis Cell '''is '''hidden '''in the chart, an entry is place in '''The Grid''' as follows:
| + | ==Splitting Resources and Task Links== |
| | | | |
| − | ====Hiding Time Axis Cells Example====
| + | 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. |
| | | | |
| − | Suppose we have the chart below and wish to '''hide '''three contiguous '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in the '''Bottom Time Axis Level'''. To do this, select the three '''Time Axis Level Cells''' and right-click on any of them to access the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:
| + | ==Related Links== |
| | | | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(3)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(3)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After clicking the '''Hide cell '''command in the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''', the chart looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(4)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(4)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The three contiguous '''Time Axis Level Cells''' are '''hidden''' at the location in the '''timespan '''shown above. Additionally, an entry is made in '''The Grid''' to record this '''edit''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(5)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(5)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are now three entries in '''The Grid''' showing the properties of each '''hidden Time Axis Level Cell''' including its '''From/To dates''', '''Zoom% '''(discussed elsewhere as noted below), and its '''Priority''' which is a control that helps OnePager to properly restore the '''hidden '''entry to '''show status''' when requested.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====The Grid's Organization and Controls====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The other columns in '''The Grid '''are used as follows:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :1) The column on the left is used for selecting the entry with a left-click which identifies which entry is to be referenced for the '''Delete Timespan''' and '''Copy Timespan '''buttons.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :2) The '''ON''' column can be used to '''disable '''the particular '''Grid '''entry by unchecking it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :3) All new '''Grid '''entries are created with the '''ON '''column checkbox checked '''ON'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :4) When the checkbox is unchecked of '''OFF''', the corresponding '''Time Axis Level Cell''' becomes '''shown '''in the chart when the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''OK '''or '''Apply '''buttons are clicked. The entry remains in '''The Grid''' if needed in the future.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :5) The '''Show '''column and its checkboxes are used to '''unhide''' the corresponding '''Time Axis Level Cell '''with one click in '''The Grid'''. The entry in '''The Grid''' remains for future use.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | :6) The '''Zoom% '''column represents the '''width '''of the '''hidden Time Axis Level Cell '''as a percentage of the size of other '''Time Axis Cells '''in that '''Level'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For more information on '''Zoom%''', please see the article at: [[The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express]] <!--22.3.8-70-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In '''The Grid''', there are three (3) buttons below that are relevant to '''timespans''' that are '''enabled '''when there are '''timespan '''entries in '''The Grid.'''
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =====Add Timespan to Grid=====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Add Timespan '''button places a '''timespan '''entry in '''The Grid''' that allows you to create a '''hidden Time Axis Cell '''entry by filling in data for the '''From '''and '''To Dates '''as required. The entry is created with '''From '''and '''To Dates '''that '''spans''' the entire extent of the '''graph'''. However, the '''Show '''column checkbox checked '''ON '''so you have an opportunity to reset or '''edit''' the '''From '''and '''To Dates '''to meet your needs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | A basic '''Added Timespan entry '''is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(6)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(6)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =====Delete Timespan in Grid=====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Delete Timespan '''button requires that you first select '''The Grid timespan '''entry to be '''deleted''' before clicking the '''Delete Timespan '''button by first clicking the left most column of the desired entry. Then clicking the '''Delete Timespan '''button removes the entry.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | =====Copy Timespan in Grid=====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Copy Timespan '''button also requires that you first select '''The Grid timespan '''entry that you want to '''copy '''before clicking the '''Copy Timespan '''button by first clicking the left most column of the desired entry. Then clicking the '''Copy Timespan '''button adds a '''copy '''of the selected entry to the bottom of '''The Grid '''as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(7)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(7)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===The Grid and Snapshot-Independence===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Since '''timespans''' are '''snapshot-independent''', OnePager builds '''The Grid '''for '''timespans''' uniquely for each snapshot that you access in the '''Chart Editor'''. As such, '''timespans '''can be '''hidden''' in one snapshot and '''shown''' in another all under your control.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For more information on '''the relationship between charts and snapshots''', please see the article at: [[Understanding Charts and Snapshots for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Understanding Charts and Snapshots for OnePager Express]] <!--4.0.1.2-70-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===The Template Properties Form’s Timespan Grid===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Template Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab '''Format '''sub-tab has the same capabilities for '''The Grid''' as the '''Chart Properties '''form. In the '''Template Properties''' form, '''The Timespan Grid''' is used to define '''hidden Time Axis Cells''' that you want '''not to show '''in every chart created using that particular '''Template Properties '''form. This is one way that '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' are created '''globally'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Manually Hiding Timespans in the Chart==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the section above, the discussion primarily focused on using '''The Grid''' for '''global hiding''' and '''showing '''of '''Time Axis Level Cells'''. Using '''The Grid''' in this manner is useful when your schedule discussion presentation plan is to '''hide '''certain '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in all snapshots by making the appropriate '''Grid entries '''in the '''Template Properties '''form '''Time Axis''' tab '''Format '''sub-tab’s '''Grid'''. When you use the '''Template Properties '''form’s related capabilities in this way, '''The Grid''' is a convenient short cut. In addition to using '''The Grid''' in the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties''' forms for '''creating''' and '''editing''' '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''', OnePager Express, as mentioned earlier, provides you with manual '''editing''' capabilities as well.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | These capabilities are discussed in the sections that follow.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Hiding Time Axis Level Cells in One Time Axis Level===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You have the capability, as discussed in the first section of this article to select '''Time Axis Level Cells '''at any '''Level''' and '''hide '''them by first selecting the '''cell''' or '''cells''' and right-clicking to access the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(3)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(3)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After clicking the '''Hide cell '''command above, the chart looks like this:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(4)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(4)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' are not shown in the chart and any task bars/milestone symbols or portions of the '''graph''' occupying the '''hidden timespan''' are also '''hidden'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are several conditions that should be kept in mind. '''Decorations '''on task bars/milestone symbols remain visible if any portion of a task bar/milestone symbol remains visible in the chart after a corresponding '''Time Axis Level Cell''' or '''Cells '''are '''hidden.''' If there are '''Free Boxes''' in the chart that occupy the '''timespan '''that is going to be '''hidden''', that '''Free Box''' or '''Boxes''' are relocated by OnePager so they remain visible. You can subsequently '''select''' them and manually '''relocate''' them where needed. If there are attached '''Comment Boxes''' associated with task bars/milestone symbols that are partially '''hidden '''by '''hiding '''certain '''Time Axis Cells''', the '''Comment Boxes '''remain visible and are relocated by OnePager as long as any portion of the parent task bar/milestone symbol is visible in the chart. If a task bar/milestone symbol is completely '''hidden''' by '''hiding Time Axis Level Cells''', the associated '''Comment Boxes''' are no longer visible.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Hiding Cells in a Time Axis Level with Timespans in a Lower Level===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | As a further example, if we '''hide''' a greater extent of the total chart’s '''timespan''', it is more likely that entire task bars/milestone symbols are '''hidden '''as shown here where two Quarters in '''Middle Level Time Cell '''are '''hidden''':
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(8)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(8)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are two '''timespan '''entries in '''The Grid '''to reflect this action because only two '''Middle Level Time Axis Cells '''were '''hidden'''. '''The Grid''' is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(9)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(9)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | OnePager also keeps track of any task bars/milestone symbols that are '''hidden''' as a result of the action taken to '''hide '''the two Quarters in the Middle Level Time Axis'''. Examining the chart above reveals that some '''rows '''in the chart can become '''empty''' as a result of the '''Time Axis Level Cell '''becoming '''hidden'''. OnePager does not automatically '''hide '''(previously called '''crop''') empty '''rows'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can access the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form to see the list of '''hidden''' task bars and milestone symbols by going to the OnePager '''Home ''' ribbon tool bar tab and clicking the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown and clicking the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(9A)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(9A)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Accessing the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form shows the '''hidden '''task bars and milestone symbols and the reason for them to be '''hidden''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(10)-11182020.png]]</center>

| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you use the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form to '''Fix Selected '''entries, doing so results in the '''hidden timespan '''becoming '''shown''' along with any '''hidden timespans '''in '''Time Axis Levels below the hidden timespan '''being '''fixed'''. Should additional '''hidden '''task bars and milestone symbols become '''shown''' in this operation, the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form is appropriately updated to reflect the correct '''show/hide status''' of task bars and milestone symbols in the chart.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Hiding Timespans in the Floating Time Axis===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Briefly, if '''Floating Time Axes''' are present in the chart and you '''hide '''a '''Time Axis Level Cell(s)''', the corresponding '''Floating Time Axis Level Cell(s)''' are also '''hidden '''by the same action. Conversely, if you select and '''hide''' a '''Floating Time Axis Cell(s)''', the corresponding '''Time Axis Level Cell(s) '''are also '''hidden'''. '''The Grid''', given either of the above two actions only contains a '''timespan '''entry representing the '''hidden timespan''' for the '''Time Axis Level Cell(s) hidden'''.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Formatting Individual Time Axis Level Cells==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In addition to being able to manually '''hide Time Axis Level Cells''', you also have additionally '''editing '''capabilities for '''Time Axis Level Cells '''and some of their properties. These additional '''editing''' capabilities include being able to '''format properties '''of a '''Time Axis Level Cell''', '''Unstretch all cells '''(explained fully elsewhere), access the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab at the corresponding '''Level '''sub-tab, and '''insert a curtain''' corresponding to the '''From/To Dates '''of the selected '''Time Axis Level Cell(s)'''. Some of these capabilities are explained below.

| − | ===Using the Format Cell Command and the Time Axis Cell Properties Form===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Time Axis Level Cells''' as well as '''Floating Time Axis Level Cells''' can be '''Formatted''' by manually selecting one or more '''Cells '''and right-clicking on the selected '''Cell(s)''' to access the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:

| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(11)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Clicking the '''Format cell …''' command accesses the '''Time Axis Cell Properties''' form as shown below where you can '''edit''' some of the most important '''properties '''of the selected '''Cell(s)''':

| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(12)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | In the '''Time Axis Cell Properties''' form there are two familiar controls – '''Color '''and '''Font'''. Clicking the '''Color''' dropdown accesses the Standard '''Color Chooser '''form that is used to change the '''background color''' of the selected '''Time Axis Level Cell''' or '''Cells'''. Clicking the '''Font '''dropdown accesses the Standard '''Font properties '''form so that you can '''edit''' the text content of the selected '''Time Axis Level Cells.''' The '''Zoom% '''dial control and the associated '''Cell width '''window are used in the '''Time Axis Cell Properties''' form to manually '''stretch '''or '''compress '''the '''width '''of the selected '''Time Axis Level Cell(s)'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | For more information on the '''Zoom% '''feature, please see the article at: [[The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express]] <!--22.3.8-70-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Attempting to set the '''Zoom%''' in the '''Time Axis Cell Properties''' form to zero (0) or a negative '''Zoom% '''value is not accepted by OnePager Express. Instead, OnePager sets the '''Zoom% '''value for entries values less than or equal to zero to a '''Zoom% '''value of 2.0 percent. Making any '''edits''' to the selected '''Time Axis Level Cells''' using the '''Time Axis Cell Properties''' form '''edits''' only these selected '''Cells'''. After the '''edits''' are made, the selected '''Cells''' are considered '''mavericks'''. Likewise, if you use the '''drag and drop method''' to alter the '''width '''of selected '''Time Axis Level Cell(s)''', these also cause the selected '''Cells''' to be treated as '''mavericks'''. Selecting any '''maverick Time Axis Level Cell''' using the procedure above and clicking the '''Use default properties''' button in the '''Time Axis Cell Properties '''form shown above restores the selected '''Cells''' to the '''global''' '''properties''' established in the '''Chart Properties '''form.

| |
| − | ===Accessing the Chart Properties Form from a Time Axis Level Cell===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Clicking the '''Time-axis properties… '''command in the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu '''accesses the '''Chart Properties''' form at the '''Time Axis '''tab and the sub-tab for the '''Time Axis Level '''you selected. Selecting a '''Time Axis Level Cell''' from the '''Bottom Level''' and right-clicking the '''Cell '''accesses the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu '''where you can then click the '''Time-axis properties… '''command:

| |
| − |
| |
| − | By using the '''Chart Properties '''form in this way you are able to '''edit''' the '''global properties''' of all '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in the '''Time Axis Level '''selected. You can also use the sub-tabs in the form above to go to other '''Time Axis Levels''', to the '''Calendar '''sub-tab or the '''Format '''sub-tab.

| |
| − | ===Manually Editing the Width of Time Axis Level Cells (Stretching and Compressing)===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Selecting Time Axis Level Cells in a Single Level====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | '''Time Axis Level Cells''' can be '''stretched '''or '''compressed''' manually by first selecting the '''Cell''' with a left-click and using the '''handlebars''' to '''drag''' the selection rectangle to the desired '''width''' as shown here:

| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(15)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you use your mouse to click on the right '''handlebar''' and '''drag''' it to the right, when you release the mouse left-click button, the selected '''Time Axis Level Cell''' looks like this:

| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(16)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can use '''time axis '''right-click '''context menu''' and the '''Format cell…''' command to see the new value of the '''Zoom%''' which is the amount of '''stretch''' applied by the '''drag and drop method''' to the selected '''Cell''' as shown here:

| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(18)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Selecting Time Axis Level Cells in Multiple Levels====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can use your mouse to select '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in different '''Time Axis Levels''' by using the '''CTL+Left-Click method '''as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(19)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(19)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Above, there are five (5) '''Time Axis Level Cells''' selected in the order shown.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Although there are five (5) '''Time Axis Level Cells '''selected above, you can only '''stretch '''or '''compress '''selected '''Cell '''using the '''drag and drop method '''in '''one Time Axis Level only '''as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(20)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(20)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If you now use the mouse to '''stretch '''the 2018 Quarter 3 '''Middle Time Axis Level Cell''', OnePager '''de-selects''' all selected '''Time Axis Level Cells''' highlighted in other '''Time Axis Levels''' such that only the '''Middle Time Axis Level Cells''' that are candidates for '''stretching''' remain selected. On the other hand, if you start to '''stretch '''the '''Bottom Level''' '''Time Axis Cells''', OnePager '''de-selects''' the '''Middle Level Time Axis Cells''' before performing the desired '''stretch''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(21)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(21)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Selecting A Sequence of Multiple Time Axis Level Cells====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can also select a sequential set of '''Time Axis Cells''' in the same '''Level '''by using the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' keys as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(22)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(22)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once the set of '''Time Axis Level Cells''' are selected anyone of them can be used to '''stretch '''or '''compress '''the set as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(23)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(23)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The general rule is that you cannot '''stretch '''multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells''' that are selected in '''multiple Time Axis Levels'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Unstretching Time Axis Level Cells ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Clicking the '''Unstretch all cells '''command in the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' causes OnePager to “normalize” all previously '''stretched '''or '''compress cells '''to their original '''Cell widths'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Unstretch all cells '''command is shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(24)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(24)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When the command is clicked, all '''stretched''' or''' compressed Time Axis Level Cells '''on '''all''' '''Time Axes '''and '''Floating Time Axes''' as shown in the illustration above are returned to their original '''widths''' and the '''Document’s width''' is returned back to its original '''size''' before any '''Time Axis Level Cells '''are '''stretched''' or '''compressed'''.

| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(25)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(25)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Another result of using the '''Unstretch all cells''' command is that any entries in '''The Grid '''related to '''stretched Time Axis Level Cells '''are '''deleted''' for the snapshot in the '''Chart Editor'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Using the Time Axis Right-Click Context Menu’s Insert Curtain Command===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It can be advantageous from time to time to insert a '''Curtain''' into the chart that has exactly the same '''Start/End Date boundaries''' as a particular '''Time Axis Level Cell '''or '''Cells'''. For example, it can be necessary to highlight a particular Quarter as important in a schedule conversation. '''Time Axis Level Cell '''related '''Curtains''' can be added to the chart using the right-click on '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu '''and its '''Insert curtain '''command. To insert a '''Curtain '''with '''Time Axis Level Cell boundaries''', first select the '''Cell '''or '''Cells''' to access the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown below:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(26)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(26)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | When you click the '''Insert curtain''' command a basic '''Curtain '''is inserted into the chart with '''Start/End Date boundaries''' the same as those for the selected '''Time Axis Level Cell''' as shown here:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_3_4-70-(27)-11182020.png]]</center>
| |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_3_4-70-(27)-11182020.png</center>-->
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The '''Insert curtain time axis''' right-click '''context menu '''command only creates a single '''Curtain'''. If multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells '''are selected, either in one '''Time Axis Level''' or multiple '''Levels''', the '''Insert curtain''' command is '''disabled'''.
| |
| − |

| − | ==Notes on Selecting Time Axis Level Cells==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Using a combination of the '''CTL+Left-Click''' and the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' is restricted. You can use the '''CTL+Left-Click''' to select any '''Time Axis Level Cell '''in any '''Level'''. However, attempting to '''stretch '''a single '''Time Axis Level Cell''' when '''cells '''are selected in two or more '''Levels''' results in only the selected '''cell '''being '''stretched'''. The selected '''Time Axis Level Cells''' in other '''Levels''' are '''de-selected'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can use the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' to select a series of '''Time Axis Level Cells''' that are all in the same '''Level'''. This results in a contiguous series of '''Time Axis Level Cells '''being selected all of which can be '''edited''' as one or '''stretched '''or '''compressed''' together. When you have a contiguous series of '''Time Axis Level Cells''' selected you can right-click on any one of them to access the '''time axis''' right-click '''context menu'''.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You can use the '''CTL+Left-Click '''in multiple '''Time Axis Levels '''and then any attempts to utilize the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' only work if the contiguous '''Time Axis Level Cells '''being selected are in '''one''' '''Time Axis Level'''. Attempting to use the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' across two or more '''Levels''' is not honored. For example, suppose you use the '''CTL+Left-Click '''to select several '''cells''' each in the '''Bottom Level Time Axis''' and the '''Middle Level Time Axis''' all the while holding the '''CTL '''Key down. This results in the clicked '''Time Axis Level Cells''' in the two '''Levels''' being selected.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Attempting to use the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''in either the '''Bottom Level''' or the '''Middle Level Time Axes''' results in contiguous '''cells''' being selected. If, however, after multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells''' are selected in the '''Bottom''' and '''Middle''' '''Time Axis Levels''', attempting to use the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''in the '''Top Level Time Axis''' is not honored although the previously selected '''cells''' remain selected.
