==About the One Pager Pro and Express Time Axis==
+
==Introduction==
  
OnePager Pro and Express have enhanced '''Time Axis '''features and '''editing''' capabilities. These enhancements provide you with additional '''Time Axis''' graphics within the chart and support enhanced '''editing''' capabilities as your needs change. This article has '''links''' to the more detailed articles that provide information on how to use these new '''features''' and '''editing''' capabilities.
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.
  
===Overview===
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
The '''Time Axis '''is an integral part of the chart and can be configured to appear at the '''top''', '''bottom''', or at both the '''top and bottom '''of the chart as shown below:
+
The OnePager '''column splitting''' feature allows you to '''duplicate task bars''' when a task in your Asana '''source plan''' is assigned to '''multiple resources''' (or anything else).  Because assignments from Asana often are '''comma-delimited''', this feature enables OnePager to '''parse the comma-delimited list''' and '''create a unique task bar''' for each instance in the '''comma-separated''' list.

+
===Split Resource Names Example===
<!--<center>P70-22_0_1-70-(1)-10262020.png</center>-->
+
  
To implement the '''global editing''' capabilities, OnePager added a new tab the '''Template Properties '''form and the '''Chart Properties '''form called the '''Time Axis '''tab as shown for the '''Chart Properties '''form below with the '''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:
  
<center>[[File:P70-22_0_1-70-(2)-10262020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-22_0_1-70-(2)-10262020.png</center>-->
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
The new '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Time Axis '''tabs consolidate all '''time axis controls''' onto one tabTo do this the '''Main '''and '''Advanced '''tabs of these two forms are '''reorganized''' in OnePager. The '''Template Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab and that of the '''Chart Properties''' form are almost identical. The '''Time Axis '''tab has five (5) sub-tabs that consolidate '''settings '''and '''editing '''controls for '''calendar''', the '''three Time Axis Levels''', and the new '''Time Axis formatting features'''.
+
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:
  
===Floating Time Axis Feature===

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
As an enhancement in OnePager, you can insert up to three (3) '''Time Axis rows''' into the '''chart'''itselfThese '''Time Axis rows''' are called '''Floating Time Axes''' and are illustrated below:
+
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.

+
  
For more information on the '''Floating Time Axis''' feature, please see the articles at:
+
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:

===The Non-Linear Time Axis Feature===
+
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, you can change the '''horizontal width''' of a '''Time Axis Cell''' in any '''Time Axis Level''' using either '''drag and drop''' techniques or controls in the new '''Time Axis Cell Properties''' form as shown below where a '''time axis cell''' is '''widened''' in the chart:

<center>[[File:P70-22_0_1-70-(4)-10262020.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_0_1-70-(4)-10262020.png</center>-->

===Time Axis Editing Features===
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
OnePager has the capability to '''edit Time Axis''' '''Levels''' and '''Cells''' both '''globally '''in the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties ''' forms and manually in the '''Chart Editor'''. Among the '''edits''' are the capabilities to change '''text font properties''', '''Time Axis Level heights''', and '''Time Axis Cell background colors'''.
+
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 Non-Linear Time Axis Feature====

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
In OnePager you can '''edit '''the '''horizontal width''' of one or more '''Time Axis Cells''' thus expanding or contracting the '''horizontal space '''in the '''chart'''that represents a '''timespan'''.  For more information on the '''Non-Linear Time Axis''' feature, please see the articles at:
+
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''' assignedEach of the '''resources''' appears by itself in the '''Legend'''.  The '''Legend title''' shows the '''column name''' that is used for '''splitting the columns'''.
  
<center>
+
With this feature, you can use '''column splitting''' just like any other column by using the dropdowns in the '''Template Properties''' form or '''Chart Properties''' form to assign '''colors, highlight task bars and milestone symbols, and to define and label rows and swimlanes'''.

==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
OnePager provides a '''custom date formatting feature''' allowing you to define your own '''Custom Date Formats'''., the capability to define '''Working Hours''' and '''Non-Working Hours''', and '''Custom Curtains''' associated with '''Time Axis Cells'''.  For more information on the '''Custom Date Formats''' feature, please see the articles at:
+
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.

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

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.
