==Introduction==
  
This article covers the '''Global editing '''of the '''Time Axis'''.  As with all '''global editing''', the OnePager Pro's '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties ''' form play import roles in providing you with precise control over the '''properties '''of '''Time Axis Levels''' and '''Floating Time Axis Levels'''.  As mentioned elsewhere with respect to OnePager Pro’s '''Time Axis '''feature, the '''Template Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab is almost identical to the same tab in the '''Chart Properties''' form.  This article covers the '''global editing''' capabilities available in the '''Chart Properties''' form.
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
For more information on the '''Template Properties''' form’s '''Time Axis''' tab, please see this section in the article at:  [[Template Only Features for Version 7.0 (OnePager Pro)#Template Properties Form's Time Axis Tab | Template Only Features-OnePager Pro – Template Properties Form's Time Axis Tab]] <!--24.1.1-70-->

==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
The '''Time Axis '''tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form (See the illustration below) provides the settings for both '''Time Axis Level '''and '''Floating Time Axis Level editing'''.  The '''Chart Properties '''form at the '''Time Axis '''tab has five (5) sub-tabs, three (3) of which have almost identical controls.  Regardless, you have a great deal of control over the characteristics and appearance of the '''Time Axis'''.  The '''Template Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab is similarly constructed.
+
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.
  
Other articles related to the '''Time Axis''' are referenced from this article so as not to repeat descriptions and examples here.  This article uses Wiki internal links to provide you with access to more detailed articles covering the use and operation of '''Chart Properties''' form '''Time Axis '''tab and sub-tab controls
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
==Chart Properties Form Time Axis Tab’s Calendar Sub-Tab==
+
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:
  
The new '''Calendar '''sub-tab on the '''Time Axis''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form, previously called the '''Advanced''' sub-tab, is shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_17_1-70-(1)-10242020.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>P70-21_17_1-70-(1)-10242020.png</center>-->
+
  
===Date Boundaries Control Group===
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
On this renamed sub-tab, the '''Date Boundaries '''control group, consisting of the chart’s '''Start Date '''and''' Finish Date boundaries''' are taken from the controls that are previously found on the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Main '''tab.
+
OnePager, in this case, treats the '''entire string''' as an individual '''Assigned to''' value.  To provide more flexibility in displaying task bars that have '''multiple resources''' assigned, OnePager supports the concept of a '''column splitting'''.  This feature recognizes '''comma-separated''' values in a '''designated column''' and '''creates a separate task bar''' for each of the '''comma-separated''' values.
  
<center>[[File:P70-22_3_1-70-(1-1)-11022020.png]]</center>
+
===Enabling Splitting===
<!--<center>P70-22_3_1-70-(1-1)-11022020.png</center>-->
+
  
There are also new controls on the OnePager Pro '''View''' ribbon tool bar tab that make it quite easy to '''edit''' the '''Start Date '''and '''Finish Date boundaries''' for the chart as shown here:
+
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>[[File:P70-22_3_1-70-(2)-11022020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-22_3_1-70-(2)-11022020.png</center>-->
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
For more information on the '''Date Boundary''' controls, please see this section in the article at:  [[Showing Different Time Units of Time for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0#Editing the Chart’s Start/Finish Date Boundaries | Editing the Chart’s Start/Finish Date Boundaries]] <!--22.1.1-70-->
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
Also moved from the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Advance '''tab is the '''Auto-adjust timeline''' control as shown below with its dropdown list of options:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-22_3_1-70-(6)-11022020.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>P70-22_3_1-70-(6)-11022020.png</center>-->
+
  
For more information on the '''Auto-Adjust Timeline Options''' controls, please see this section in the article at:  [[Changing the Chart’s Start/Finish Dates for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0#Auto-Adjust Timeline Options in the Chart Properties Form | Auto-Adjust Timeline Options in the Chart Properties Form]] <!--22.3.1-70-->

===Calendar Setting Control Group===
+
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 '''Calendar Settings '''control group of controls was previously accessed from the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Main '''tab through the '''Configure time axis '''button and the '''Advanced''' sub-tab of the '''Advanced time-axis features '''form in previous OnePager versions.  As it functioned previously, this control group allows you to specify '''fiscal year''' parameters for all '''Time Axes'''.
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(1)-11092020.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>P70-22_4_1-70-(1)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
  
The controls in this control group relate to the use of '''Fiscal Year/Week''' designation, specifying the '''First day of the week''', and the '''First week of the Year'''.
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
For more information on the '''Fiscal Year and Weeks''' controls, please see the article at: [[Using Fiscal Years and Weeks for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Using Fiscal Years and Weeks for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.2.1-70-->
+
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'''.
  
Additionally, the '''Calendar Settings '''control group is used for creating '''Count Up/Down''' sequences any '''Time Axis Level'''.
+
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>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(2)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(2)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
  
With OnePager Pro you can create '''Count Up/Down '''sequences on all three '''Time Axis Levels.'''
+
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.
  
For more information on '''Creating Count Up and Down Time Axis sequences''', please see the article at:  [[Creating Count Up and Down on the Time Axis for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Creating Count Up and Down on the Time Axis for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.2.5-70-->

===Formatting & Layout Control Group===
 
 
The '''Formatting & Layout''' control group provides the checkbox for '''multi-page''' outputs of '''Time Axis Level '''visualizations on all output pages.  Additionally, the management of '''Custom Date Formats''', and the location of the '''Time Axes '''with respect to the '''top''' and '''bottom''' of the '''graph''' are provided here.

====Time Axis Location(s) Sub-Control Group====
+
 
+
The '''Time Axis Location(s)''' sub-group controls were moved from the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Main''' tab''' '''to the '''Chart Properties '''form''' Time Axis '''tab as shown below.
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_3_5-70-(3)-11042020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_3_5-70-(3)-11042020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
As with previous versions of OnePager, you have the option to display up to three '''Time Axis Levels '''at the '''Top''' of the '''graph''', the '''Bottom '''of the '''graph''', or at '''Both locations''' as shown in the illustration below that also includes a '''three level Floating Time Axis''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(3)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(3)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Custom Date Format Control Sub-Group====
+
 
+
You also have controls for the new feature for creating and '''editing''' '''Custom Date Formats '''by using the form accessed by clicking the '''Manage Custom Date Formats…''' button as shown here: 
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(4)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(4)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When this button is clicked, the '''Add Custom-Date Format''' form is accessed as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(5)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(5)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
This form allows you to '''add Custom Date Formats''' by creating them in the '''Date Format''' window shown in the form above.  Defining your own '''Custom Date Formats''' can be useful when you want the '''text''' displayed in various '''Time Axis '''and '''Floating Time Axis Levels''' for specific meaning beyond what OnePager provides.
+
 
+
For more information  on '''creating''' and '''editing''' '''Custom Date Formats ''', please see the article at: [[The Custom Date Format Feature for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | The Custom Date Format Feature for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.5.1-70-->
+
 
+
==Chart Properties Form Time Axis Tab’s Three Level Sub-Tabs==
+
 
+
The new '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Time Axis '''tab has three (3) '''Time Axis Level''' sub-tabs.  The '''Time Axis''' tab’s '''Middle Level''' sub-tab looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_17_1-70-(2)-10242020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_17_1-70-(2)-10242020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The '''Top Level '''and '''Bottom Level '''sub-tabs are similar and function in the same way.
+
 
+
===Show This Level Control===
+
 
+
The '''Show this level''' checkbox is, as the default setting, checked '''ON''' for each '''Time Axis Level''' in the three '''Level '''sub-tabs.  Unchecking this checkbox to '''OFF''' '''hides''' the corresponding '''Time Axis Level''' at the location or locations specified in the '''Calendar '''sub-tab’s '''Formatting & Layout '''group’s '''Time-axis Location(s) '''control.
+
 
+
At least one '''Time Axis Level’s Show this level '''checkbox must be checked '''ON'''.  OnePager provides a warning if an attempt is made to uncheck '''all''' '''Show this level '''checkboxes as shown here.
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_5-70-(2)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_5-70-(2)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Re-Order Levels Controls===
+
 
+
The three '''Level''' sub-tabs, '''Top Level''', '''Middle Level''', and '''Bottom Level''', correspond in function to the same sub-tabs in previous OnePager versions. 
+
 
+
The OnePager Pro '''Top Level''', '''Middle Level''', and '''Bottom Level''' tabs have all the same controls.  Each sub-tab also has one or two '''Up/Down arrow buttons''' labeled '''Re-Order Levels'''.  Within any of the three '''Time Axis Level '''sub-tabs, you can '''re-order''' the '''Level’s''' '''position''' in the '''Time Axis '''portion of the chart to a higher or lower '''Level''' and with it the settings associated with the '''Level''' being re-positioned. 
+
 
+
====Re-Order Levels - An Example====
+
 
+
For example, suppose you have a standard looking chart with three '''Time Axis Levels''' organized as Years on the '''Top level''', Quarters in the '''Middle level''', and Months in the '''Bottom level''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(6)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(6)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Using the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Time Axis '''tab at the '''Middle Level''' sub-tab you can '''re-order''' the '''Top Level '''with the '''Middle Level''' as illustrated below:
+
 
+
<center>'''Before Clicking APPLY on the Chart Properties Form'''</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_3_5-70-(1)-11042020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_3_5-70-(1)-11042020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
<center>'''After Clicking Apply on the Chart Properties From'''</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_3_5-70-(2)-11042020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_3_5-70-(2)-11042020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The '''Show this level''' checkbox and the''' Re-Order Levels''' controls are useful in making the '''Time Axis '''visualizations support your specific schedule conversation needs.
+
 
+
For more information on the '''Re-Order Levels''' control, please see the article at:  [[Re-Ordering Time Axis Levels for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Switching Time Axis Levels for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.3.5-70-->
+
 
+
===Labels Control Group===
+
 
+
Within each sub-tab are controls for '''Time Axis Level Labels''' as in previous OnePager versions.
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(7)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(7)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Tic Unit Control====
+
 
+
The '''Tic units''' dropdown for each '''Time Axis Level''' consist of the same options as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(8)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(8)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
For more information on '''Time Axis Level Label''' controls, please see the article at: [[Labeling Time Axis Levels for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Labeling Time Axis Levels for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.1.5-70-->
+
 
+
====Label Format Control====
+
 
+
The '''Label format''' dropdown is enhanced to give you the capability to define your own '''Custom Date Format''' as discussed in more detail below.
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_5-70-(5)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_5-70-(5)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Unit Skip Count Controls====
+
 
+
The '''Unit skip count '''determines the number of '''time units''' that are skipped between '''Time Axis Level Labels'''.  Normally the '''Unit skip count '''is set to 1 as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_5-70-(8)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_5-70-(8)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Unit Skip Count - An Example====
+
 
+
To illustrate an, if you set the '''Middle Time Axis Level’s''' '''Unit skip count''' to a higher value of 2, the '''Time Axis Middle Level '''looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_5-70-(9)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_5-70-(9)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the above illustration the '''Middle Level Time Axis '''is no longer consistent with the '''Top '''or '''Bottom Level Time Axes''' with respect to '''Unit skip counts'''.  To avoid confusion, it is recommended not '''showing '''the '''Bottom Level Time Axis''' as illustrated below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_5-70-(10)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_5-70-(10)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Use Fiscal Year Control====
+
 
+
The '''Use fiscal year''' checkbox, when checked '''ON''', tells OnePager to apply '''Fiscal Year/Week''' dates as applicable.  The controls for '''Fiscal Year/Week '''designations are found in the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab’s '''Calendar '''sub-tab in the '''Calendar Settings '''group as discussed above.
+
 
+
For more information on formulating '''Fiscal Year Time Axis Levels''', please see the article at:  [[Using Fiscal Years and Weeks for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Using Fiscal Years and Weeks for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.2.1-70-->
+
 
+
====Rotate Label 90 Degrees Control====
+
 
+
The '''Rotate label 90 degrees '''checkbox found in the '''Top''', '''Middle''', and '''Bottom''' '''Levels '''sub-tabs of the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab allows you to represent the various '''Time Axis Level Cell’s text''' contents rotated 90 degrees clockwise as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_5-70-(12)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_5-70-(12)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Formatting Control Group===
+
 
+
For each of the three '''Time Axis Levels '''there are individual '''Formatting''' control groups and sub-groups as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_7-70-(3)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_7-70-(3)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Top and Bottom Borders Sub-Group Controls====
+
 
+
The '''Borders''' sub-group has controls''' '''for the '''Top''' '''border '''and '''Bottom border''' for each of the three '''Time Axis Levels '''.
+
 
+
=====Show Lines=====
+
 
+
The '''Show lines''' checkboxes turn the '''Border''' visualizations '''ON''' and '''OFF'''.
+
 
+
=====Color:=====
+
 
+
The '''Color:''' dropdown accesses the OnePager standard '''Color Chooser''' form for selecting the '''Border’s''' '''color'''.
+
 
+
=====Border Width:=====
+
 
+
The '''Border Width '''selector, measured in inches or centimeters depending on the type of '''Template Properties''' form, provides the means for setting the '''thickness''' of the '''border line'''. you selected.
+
 
+
=====Border Dash Types=====
+
 
+
The '''Border Dash types''' options selector provides you access to four (4) different representations of the '''border''' including (1) '''Solid''', (2) '''Dash''', (3) '''Dash-dot''', and (4) '''Dash-dot-dot'''.
+
 
+
====Vertical Gridlines====
+
 
+
The '''Vertical Gridlines''' dropdown provides options for specifying how far the '''vertical gridlines''' extend through the '''Time Axis Levels''' and into the '''graph'''.  There is a separate '''Vertical Gridlines''' dropdown set of options for each '''Time Axis Level'''.  The three '''Vertical Gridline''' options available for each '''Time Axis Level''' include: (1) '''In time axis''', (2) '''In graph''', and (3) '''In the chart & graph'''.  In addition to the type of '''vertical gridline''' that can be '''selected''', you can also choose the '''color''' of the '''vertical gridline''', its '''width''', and the '''vertical gridline's dash type'''.
+
 
+
=====The In Time Axis Option=====
+
 
+
Selecting the '''In time axis''' option places a '''vertical gridline''' only in the '''selected Time Axis Level''' using the '''color''', '''width''', and '''dash-type''' selected for the particular '''Time Axis Level'''.
+
 
+
=====The In Chart Option=====
+
 
+
Selecting the '''In chart''' option places the '''vertical gridline''' only in the '''chart''' vertically down along the vertical borders of the '''Time Axis Level''' selected.  For example, if the '''Top Time Axis Level''' is selected, OnePager places a '''vertical gridline''' into the chart on the end borders of each '''Year''', as an illustration.  If you subsequently decide to place a '''vertical gridline''' of a different '''color. width, or dash type''' using the '''Middle Time Axis Level''' controls, say, for '''Quarters''', the '''vertical gridlines''' for both the '''Top''' and Middle Time Axis Levels''' overlap at the right side of '''Quarter 4 Middle Level Time Axis vertical boundaries''' as these two '''Time Axis Level's''' vertical boundaries are shared.  When attempting to use '''vertical gridlines in the chart''' for multiple '''Time Axis Level''' care should be exercised to assure that the results OnePager provides meet your expectations.  Because these controls and this option in particular are found in each '''Time Axis Level''', we recommend utilizing only one '''Time Axis Level''' to insert '''vertical gridlines in the chart''' to meet your specific needs.
+
 
+
=====The In Chart & Time Axis Option=====
+
 
+
Selecting the '''In chart & time axis''' option places the '''vertical gridline''' in both the '''selected Time Axis Level''' and the '''graph'''.  The '''in chart & time axis''' option operates as described above for the '''in chat''' option where you may encounter overlapping '''vertical gridlines''' introduced when multiple '''Time Axis Levels''' have implemented '''vertical gridlines'''.
+
 
+
=====Avoiding Conflicts between Vertical Gridline Selections=====
+
 
+
It is recommended that you think through how you want '''Vertical Gridlines''' to appear in the chart and in the '''Time Axis Levels''' before making option settings.  For best results, we recommend that you select only one '''Time Axis Level''' for implementing the  '''In chart''' option of  '''vertical gridlines'''.  Subsequently, you can make appropriate selections in this control group for both '''horizontal border''' and '''vertical gridline''' settings after the '''vertical gridline in the chart''' is established.
+
 
+
====Management of Adjacent Borders Between Time Axes====
+
 
+
Adjacent '''Time Axis Level borders '''(i.e., above and below) overlap between the '''Top '''and '''Middle Time Axis Levels''' and between the '''Middle '''and '''Bottom Time Axis Levels'''.  The '''Bottom Border '''of the '''Bottom Time Axis Level''' overlaps with the '''Inner Frame border''' of the chart.  The '''Top Border''' of the '''Top Time Line Axis Level '''overlaps with the '''Outer Frame border '''of the chart.  Any '''Border Color''' selected for a '''Top''' or '''Bottom''' '''Border''' can therefore conflict with its adjacent '''Time Axis Level border''', '''Inner Frame border''', or '''Outer Frame border'''.  As a general rule, '''Time Axis Level Border '''settings take priority over Inner''' and '''Outer Frame border color''' settings when you are '''editing''' the '''default colors''' for both '''Time Axis Level borders''' and '''Inner '''and '''Outer Frame borders'''.
+
 
+
For more information on the controls in the '''Borders '''sub-control group, please see the article at:  [[Changing the Time Axis Borders for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Changing the Time Axis Borders for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.1.7-70-->
+
 
+
====Time Axis Level Background Color(s): Sub-Group====
+
 
+
To the right of the '''Borders''' control sub-group is the '''Background Color''' control sub-group that provides the capability to create alternating '''Background Colors''' within a '''Time Axis level''' and a dropdown control for selecting '''Fill patterns'''.  The '''Color 1 '''and '''Color 2''' control dropdowns access the OnePager standard '''Color Chooser''' form.  '''Color 1 '''and '''Color 2''' can be '''selected''' as the same '''color''' to produce a uniform '''Background Color''' for the selected '''Time Axis Level''' or they can be different '''colors '''to give the '''alternating Background Color '''effect as illustrated below for the '''Middle Level Time Axis''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(9)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(9)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Finally, there is a dropdown selector for choosing one of the five '''Fill patterns''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_3-70-(1)-10272020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_3-70-(1)-10272020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
'''Fill Pattern''' selection applies to the '''entire set of Time Axis Level Cells'''.
+
 
+
Individual '''Time Axis Level Cells '''cannot be '''mavericked''' with respect to '''Fill Pattern'''.
+
 
+
For more information on the controls in the '''Background Color(s): '''sub-control group, please see the article at:  [[Changing the Time Axis Background Color and Fill Pattern for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Changing the Time Axis Background Color and Fill Pattern for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.1.3-70-->
+
 
+
====Time Axis Level Size (Vertical Height): Control Group====
+
 
+
The '''Size:''' control sub-group allows you to set a standard '''Height '''for all '''Cells '''in each '''Time Axis Level''' in either '''English''' or '''Metric units''' depending on the type of '''Template Properties''' form being used to create the chart as shown here in inches: 
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_7-70-(15)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_7-70-(15)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Increasing the '''Height: '''value makes the '''Time Axis Level '''higher as shown here where the '''Height:''' value is increased to 0.53 inches with this '''Template Properties''' form:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_7-70-(16)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_7-70-(16)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Making a '''Height: '''increase '''does NOT''' increases the '''Height:''' of the corresponding '''Floating Time Axis Level''' if present.
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_1_7-70-(17)-10282020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_1_7-70-(17)-10282020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
For more information on selecting '''English versus Metric Units''', please see the article at: [[Managing the Current Template for Version 7.0 | Managing the Current Template]] <!--24.6.1-70-->
+
 
+
===Time Axis Level Sub-Tabs and the Floating Time Axis===
+
 
+
As mentioned earlier, most '''edits''' made in either the '''Top''', '''Middle''', and/or''' Bottom Time Axis Level''' sub-tab in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab that are applied to a '''Time Axis Level '''are also applied to the corresponding '''Floating Time Axis Levels'''.  The exception to the above statement is the '''Height: '''control in the '''Time Axis Level '''sub-tabs.  Using the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis Level '''sub-tab’s '''Size''' control sub-group does '''NOT''' allow you to change the '''Height''' of the '''Floating Time Axis Level'''.
+
 
+
For more information on the '''Floating Time Axis '''feature, please see the article at:  [[The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.3.9-70-->
+
 
+
For more information on the controls in the '''Formatting '''control group, please see the article at:  [[Changing the Time Axis Borders for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Changing the Time Axis Borders for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.1.7-70-->
+
 
+
==Chart Properties Form Time Axis Tab’s Format Sub-Tab==
+
 
+
===The Format Sub-Tab===
+
 
+
The '''Format''' sub-tab has two main control groups and associated sub-groups of controls for managing '''Daily Curtains''', representing '''Working '''and '''Non-Working Hours''', and managing '''Timespans '''as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_17_1-70-(3)-10242020.png]]</center>
+
<center>P70-21_17_1-70-(3)-10242020.png</center>
+
 
+
Above the '''Days of the Week and Non-Working Times''' control group there are five (5) control sub-groups some of which have multiple checkboxes and selection dropdown controls to access the standard '''Color Chooser'''.  The '''Curtains and Timespans''' control group has a '''"Grid",''' empty in the illustration above, that has multiple uses including maintaining a record of all '''Curtains''' and '''Timespans''', adding new '''Curtains''' and '''editing''' '''Timespans''' in the chart, and '''editing''' the properties of '''Curtain '''and '''Timespan '''entries in '''The''' '''Grid'''.
+
 
+
===The Days of the Week and Working Times Control Group===
+
 
+
The '''Format Days of the Week & Working Times''' control group gives you precise controls to specify the '''showing '''or '''hiding '''of''' Daily Curtains''', their '''color''', their '''transparency '''value, and the '''color''' of their '''borders''' in the '''graph'''.
+
 
+
====Days of the Week Formatting Options====
+
 
+
The '''default values''' for the '''Show Days:''' checkboxes is checked '''ON'''.  Unchecking any day in the '''Show Days:''' set of checkboxes to '''OFF''' causes that day to be '''hidden '''throughout the chart. 
+
 
+
=====Caution on Unchecking the Show Days Checkboxes=====
+
 
+
Unchecking several '''Show Days '''checkboxes to '''OFF''' in a chart with a long '''timeline''', say, greater than a year can drastically decrease the '''width''' of the chart in the '''Chart Editor'''.  Unchecking '''all Show Days: '''checkboxes to '''OFF''' prompts an error message as shown below because at least one day of the week must be '''shown''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(10)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(10)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
However, '''Daily Curtains''' are not '''shown '''for checked '''Show Days:''' checkboxes''' '''unless a '''non-No Fill''' '''color''' is '''selected''' in one or more of the '''Daily Curtain Colors: Color Chooser '''dropdowns.
+
 
+
====Setting Daily Curtain Transparency and Border Colors====
+
 
+
There are sub-group controls in the '''Format Days of the Week and Working Times''' control group that deal with '''globally''' setting the '''transparency '''and '''border colors''' for '''Daily Curtains''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(11)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(11)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===The Working Hours Control Sub-Group===
+
 
+
OnePager supports the visualization of '''Working Hours '''and '''Non-Working Hours'''.  For charts that require '''granularity''' on the '''Time Axis''' down to the '''hour level''' it is possible to explicitly '''show Non-Working Hours''' using these controls.  The controls for '''Non-Working Hour '''visualization require that '''Working Hours''' be defined to OnePager.  The controls for this are provided in the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab’s '''Format '''sub-tab as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(12)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(12)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Defining Working Hours====
+
 
+
Clicking the '''Define Working Hours…''' button accesses the '''Set Working Times''' form shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(13)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(13)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The form above is shown with Monday through Friday '''pre-selected''' so that the '''pre-defined Work Time Start''' and '''Work Time End''' settings show in the '''Set working times for selected day(s): '''window.  You can '''select more than one day of the week''' and have your entries in the adjacent window apply to all these days.  You can also establish different '''working times''' for different '''days of the week'''.  Within any '''selected day''' you are able to enter more than one set of '''Work Time Start''' and '''Work Time End''' sets.  This is particularly useful when there are multiple '''shift work schedules'''.
+
 
+
Clicking the '''Add''' button below the window places a blank entry where you can use the '''Time Selector '''dropdowns to make '''time of day '''selections.  The '''Time Selector''' dropdown list provides '''time of day '''selections at 15 minute intervals beginning at '''12:00 AM''' ('''00:00 hours''' for '''24 hour''' representations) and ending at '''midnight''' ('''24:00 hour''' for '''24 hour''' representations).
+
 
+
The '''Delete''' button removes a '''selected''' entry from the window.
+
 
+
Instructions are provided in the area below the '''Add''' and '''Delete '''buttons.  As mentioned above, you have the option with the '''Time format: '''control to select between '''24 Hour''' and '''12 Hour''' representations of time in the '''Set working times for selected day(s): '''window.  When all entries are made, click the '''OK '''button to complete the definition and the '''Apply '''or '''OK '''button on the '''Chart Properties '''form to apply the formats to the chart.
+
 
+
====Showing Non-Working Hour Curtains - An Example====
+
 
+
To better Illustrate the results when entering a '''color''' for '''Non-Working Times''', the chart below is configured to show a two consecutive '''working day periods'''.  The '''Middle Level Time Axis '''is '''edited''' to show '''Days''' and the '''Bottom Level Time Axis''' is '''edited''' to show '''Hours''':
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(14)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(14)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Going to the '''Chart Properties '''form '''Time Axis '''tab at the '''Format ''' sub-tab’s '''Working Hours:''' sub-group controls, you can make sure that the '''Show Non-Working Hours '''checkbox is checked and select a '''color '''from the OnePager standard '''Color Chooser '''form to represent '''Non-Working Hours''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(15)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(15)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''Apply '''or '''OK '''button is clicked on the '''Chart Properties '''form, the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(16)-11092020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(16)-11092020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
=====Caution with Show Non-Working Hours=====
+
 
+
If you attempt to '''Show Non-Working Hours '''in a chart that has a long '''timeline''', say over a few weeks or months or longer, the process of creating the '''Non-Working Hour Curtains '''can take a while and the resulting graphic representation of the '''Non-Working Hour Curtains''' can all blend together.
+
 
+
For more information on control in the '''Days of the Week and Non-Working Times '''control group, please see the article at:  [[Managing Working Hours and Non-Working Hours for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Managing Working Hours and Non-Working Hours for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.5.3-70-->
+
 
+
===Using the Curtains and Timespans Grid (The Grid)===
+
 
+
The '''Curtains and Timespans Grid '''or '''The Grid''' has '''multiple purposes''' and supports your management of '''Curtains''' as well as the management of '''Non-Linear Time Axis Level Cells''' called '''Timespans'''.  Although the discussions which follow provided some depth into how OnePager Pro uses '''The Grid''' and how you can use '''The Grid '''to configure your charts and snapshots, the links shown below provide access to more complete and in depth treatment of '''The Grid''':

====Managing Curtains in The Grid====
 
 
'''The Grid '''provides '''Curtain '''entries to track most '''Curtains''' such as those '''Curtains''' created from:
 
 
:1) Clicking the '''Insert Curtain '''button on the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab.
 
 
:2) '''Curtains''' created by clicking the '''Insert curtain '''command in the '''context menu '''accessed by right-clicking any '''Time Axis Level '''individual '''Cell'''.
 
 
'''Daily Curtains''' and '''Curtains''' representing '''Non-Working Times''' are not recorded in '''The Grid''' and cannot be '''edited''' in the '''Grid'''.
 
 
A chart with a '''Curtain inserted''' from the OnePager '''Insert'''  ribbon tool bar tab and two '''Curtains''' inserted from two '''Time Axis Level Cells''' is shown below with their '''The Grid '''entries:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(17-1)-11092020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(17-1)-11092020.png</center>-->
 
 
For more information on the managing '''Curtains '''in '''The Grid''', please see the article at:'''  '''[[Creating, Editing, and Managing Time Axis Daily Curtains for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Creating, Editing, and Managing Time Axis Daily Curtains for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.5.5-70-->
 
 
====Managing Timespans in The Grid====
 
 
'''The Grid''' also provides a place for the management of '''Non-Linear Time Axis Level Cells''' called '''Timespans'''.  '''Timespans '''are created whenever you manually '''stretch''' or '''compress '''a '''Time Axis Level Cell'''.  When you do this, a '''Timespans '''entry is created in '''The Grid '''as shown below:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(18)-11092020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(18)-11092020.png</center>-->
 
 
There eight (8) columns in''' The Grid '''that apply to '''Timespan '''entries out of the total of ten (10) columns.  Where a column is '''disabled''', the column cannot be selected or '''edited''' as the column does not apply to the '''Timespan '''entry. 
 
 
The left most column is the '''Selection '''column which highlights the entire selected entry and allows you to use the entry with the '''Add Timespan''', '''Copy Timespan''', and '''Delete Timespan''' buttons shown below '''The Grid'''.  You can '''edit''' any cell in '''The Grid''' if it is '''enabled''' by clicking on it.  The '''Type''' column above shows that all entries are '''Timespans'''.  The '''Type''' displays the word '''Timespan''' when the entry is a '''Timespan''' entry and all '''non-disabled''' cells in the entry are '''enabled'''.  The '''On''' checkbox is checked when the '''Timespan''' entry is appears as a '''stretched''' or '''compressed''' '''Time Axis Level Cell''' and unchecked''' '''when you want the '''Timespan '''appears in its '''unstretched''' '''width'''. 
 
 
The '''From Date''' and '''To Date''' columns specify the range of the '''Timespans''' and can be '''edited''' using the '''Date/Time''' '''Picker''' accessed by left-clicking on the entry’s '''From/To Date''' '''cell''' as was illustrated above for '''Curtain type '''entries.  By checking the '''Format with times''' checkbox '''ON''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form '''Advance '''tab’s '''Display options''' control group, it is possible to specify '''From/To Dates '''down to '''hours '''and '''minutes'''.
 
 
For more information on the '''Format with times''' checkbox, please see the the article at:  [[Advanced Tab for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Advanced Tab for OnePager Pro]] <!--21.13.1-70-->
 
 
The '''Show''' checkbox is checked '''ON '''when you want the '''Timespans''' to be '''shown '''and unchecked or '''OFF''' when you want to '''hide '''the selected '''Timespan'''.  Unchecking the '''Show '''checkbox to '''OFF''' '''hides '''the '''Timespan''' and changes the look of the chart.  '''Hiding '''the '''Timespan''' does not remove the '''Timespan '''entry from '''The Grid'''.
 
 
The '''Zoom% '''is specifically for controlling the '''width''' of a '''Timespan '''from '''The Grid'''. When '''Time Axis Levels''' are created in a new chart, their '''Cell’s '''initial''' widths '''are calculated based upon the length of the '''timeline''' and the '''width '''of the '''Graph'''.  That calculation for each '''Time Axis Level Cell''' becomes the '''100% '''value basis for the '''Zoom%'''. 
 
 
For more information on managing '''Timespans '''in '''The Grid''', please see the article at:  [[The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.3.7-70-->
 
 
====The Priority Column for Timespan Entries in The Grid====
 
 
The '''Priority '''column in '''The Grid''' only applies to '''Timespan '''entries.  It is used to keep track of the order that '''Timespans''' are manually '''stretched '''or '''compressed'''.  The '''Priority '''column helps OnePager Pro perform the '''Unstretch all cells''' command in the proper order.  For all intent and purposes the '''Priority '''column is for your information.
 
 
====Manually Inserted Timespan Entries in The Grid - An Example====
 
 
In the illustration below, the third '''Timespan '''entry in '''The Grid''' was manually created joining the two previous '''Timespan '''entries inserted by manually '''stretching''' two '''Time Axis Level Cells''': 
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(19)-11092020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(19)-11092020.png</center>-->
 
 
Note in the above illustration that the third entry '''overlaps''' the '''stretched '''linear space of 2019 Quarter 2 since April 2019 was manually '''stretched '''previously and again by the effect of the third entry created.  This highlights the need for the '''Priority '''value to assist OnePager manage these '''Timespans'''.  Having '''overlapping '''manually created '''Timespan '''entries allows you to '''hide''' a portion of a '''Time Axis Level Cell '''rather than the entire '''Cell'''.
 
 
Suppose you want to '''hide''' the '''Timespan '''in the third '''Grid '''entry shown above and repeated in the illustration below:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(20)-11092020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(20)-11092020.png</center>-->
 
 
When you uncheck the '''Show''' checkbox to '''OFF''' for the third '''Timespan ''' entry above, the portion of June and July 2019 covered by this third '''Timespan''' entry is '''hidden''' and looks like this:
 
 
<center>[[File:P70-22_4_1-70-(21)-11092020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-22_4_1-70-(21)-11092020.png</center>-->
 
 
When the '''Show''' checkbox for the third '''Timespan '''entry is unchecked to '''OFF''', the portion of June and July 2019 are '''hidden '''and so are the corresponding vertical '''timespans''' including task bars and milestone symbols. 
 
If you instead apply this technique to longer '''timespans''' like Quarters or Years instead of Months as in the illustration above, you can focus attention more toward other areas of the chart.
 
 
====Using The Grid’s Column Headers to Sort Entries====
 
 
As with other '''Grids '''in OnePager Pro, you are able to use the '''column headers''' to '''sort''' entries into ascending or descending order based on the column’s contents.  As a rule, if a column in '''The Grid '''is '''disabled''', it cannot be '''sorted'''.

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.
