==Overview==
+
==Introduction==
  
−
This article covers the '''Global editing''' of '''Task Links'''.  As with all '''global editing''', the OnePager Express '''Template Properties''' and the '''Chart Properties''' form are involved.  As mentioned elsewhere with respect to OnePager Express' '''Task Links '''feature, the '''Template Properties '''form’s '''Task Links '''tab is almost identical to the same tab 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 '''Task Links '''tab, please see this section in the article at:  [[Template Only Features for Version 7.0 (OnePager Express)#Task Links Tab | Template Only Features-OnePager Express – Task Links Tab]] <!-- 24.2.1-70-->
+
==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
  
−
In the discussion that follows on '''global editing''' using the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Task Links '''tab, it is assumed that '''Data-driven Tasks '''are '''imported'''.   
+
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.   
  
−
For more information on the rules governing the '''importing Data-driven Task Links''' please see the article at: [[Data-Driven Task Link Import Rules for OnePager Express for Version 7.0| Data-Driven Task Link Import Rules for OnePager Express for Version 7.0]] <!-- 19.1.3.2-70-->
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
−
The '''Task Links '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form (See the illustration below) provides the settings for both '''Data-driven '''and manual '''Task Links'''.  Only the '''Horizontal Anchor (Manual Task Links Only) '''control sub-group is specifically used for '''editing''' manual '''Task '''Links. 
+
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:
  
−
For more information on '''Horizontal Anchors''' for manual '''Task Links''', pleases see the article at: [[Manual Editing of Task Links for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Manual Editing of Task Links for OnePager Express]] <!-- 19.4.2-70--> for more information on '''Horizontal Anchors''' for manual '''Task Links'''.

==Task Link Editing with the Chart Properties Form==
+
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:
  
−
The '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Task Links '''tab with all '''Data-driven Task Links '''previously imported looks like this:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +

−
<center>[[File:X70-19_1_1_2-70-(3-1)-10052020.png]]</center>
+
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>X70-19_1_1_2-70-(3-1)-10052020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
There are three (3) major control groups.
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
−
'''Show task Links Checkbox''': The '''Show task links''' checkbox is the '''“Master switch"''' in the '''Task Links '''tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form for turning the '''Task Links '''feature '''ON''' and '''OFF'''. 
+
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:
  
−
'''Default Task-Link Formatting''': This control group defines the properties of '''Task Links''' in the chart with respect to '''Line Style''', '''Arrow Style''', '''Font properties''', and '''Horizontal''' and '''Vertical Anchors '''(i.e., '''Begin''' and '''End points''' on '''predecessor '''and '''successor '''tasks respectively).
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2A)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
'''Data-Driven Task Links''': This control group provides controls for the '''import''' of '''Data-driven Task Links''', controls for the '''Task Link Filter rules '''feature, and a '''Where Are My Links? '''button to access the form of the same name.
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
−
For more information on the utilization of these controls please see the article at: [[Data-Driven Task Link Import Rules for OnePager Express for Version 7.0| Data-Driven Task Link Import Rules for OnePager Express for Version 7.0]] <!--19.1.3.2-70-->
+

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
===Show Task Links Master Switch===
+
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:
  
−
When the checkbox is unchecked or '''OFF''', '''Task Links '''can neither be '''imported '''('''Data-driven Task Links''') nor '''created '''(manual '''Task Links''')''' '''nor '''shown''' if they are already '''imported '''or '''created'''. When the checkbox is checked or '''ON''', '''Data-driven Task Links '''can be '''imported''' and '''shown''' and manual '''Task Links '''can be '''created''', '''edited''', and '''deleted'''.

 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
===Default Task-Link Formatting 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.
  
−
====Line Style Sub-Group Controls====
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
−
There are four (4) controls in the '''Line Style''' sub-group.
+
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:
  
−
=====Color=====
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
−
The OnePager Express standard '''Color Chooser''' form is used to assist you with the selection of the global '''connection line color''' to apply to all '''Task Links'''.   The '''Color Chooser''' form is shown below:
+
In the chart with '''column splitting''' shown above, there are now several more task bars in the '''Chart Editor''' than there were before.  The task bar for '''Plate Movement''' is now '''split into two (2) separate task bars''', one for each of the '''two resources assigned'''.  The task bar for '''Centrifugal Barrier''' is now '''split into three (3) separate task bars''', one for each of the '''three resources''' that were assigned to this task in the Asana '''source plan'''.  Each of the '''resources''' has a unique '''color''' assigned.  Each of the '''resources''' appears by itself in the '''Legend'''. The '''Legend title''' shows the '''column name''' that is used for '''splitting the columns'''.
  
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(1)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
With this feature, you can use '''column splitting''' just like any other column by using the dropdowns in the '''Template Properties''' form or '''Chart Properties''' form to assign '''colors, highlight task bars and milestone symbols, and to define and label rows and swimlanes'''.
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(1)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Access the '''Color Chooser ''' form by clicking on the dropdown button next to the '''color '''window.
+
==Splitting Resources and Task Links==
  
−
For more information on '''Color Palettes''' or to '''edit '''a '''Color Palette''', please see the article at:  [[Creating and Saving Color Palettes for Version 7.0 | Creating and Saving Color Palettes]] <!--25.0.1-70-->
+
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.
−
 
+
−
=====Width=====
+
−
 
+
−
You can increase or decrease the '''width''' of the '''connection line''' using this control.  The default setting is 2 pixels. 
+
−
 
+
−
=====Dash Type=====
+
−
 
+
−
There are five (5) '''dash types''' available for '''connection lines'''.  These five '''dash types''' are the same as used for '''baseline''', '''deadline''', '''endpoints connection lines''', and '''borders'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Dash Type '''dropdown looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(2)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(2)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
As an example, a chart with '''Data-driven Task Links '''configured with the '''Dash dot dot''' '''Dash Type''' looks like this with the '''connection line width’s ''' increased:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(3)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(3)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
=====Corner Radii=====
+
−
 
+
−
You also have options when specifying '''Corner radius''' of a '''Task Link''' '''connection line''' regardless of the '''connection line option''' selected. 
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(3A)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(3A)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Corner radius''' is a parameter denoting the number of pixels that are used to make the '''connection line’s''' '''90 degree bends'''.  The '''higher''' the pixel count the '''more rounded''' the '''connection''' '''line''' '''bend''' appears.
+
−
 
+
−
Below is an example of a '''Corner Radius''' of 1:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(4)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(4)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
For comparison, below is an illustration with a manual '''Task Link '''with a '''Corner Radius '''of 10:

+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(5)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
====Arrow Style Sub-Control Group====
+
−
 
+
−
There are four (4) controls in the '''Arrow Style''' sub-control group.
+
−
 
+
−
=====Begin and End Types=====
+
−
 
+
−
In OnePager Express there are five (5) enhanced '''Arrow Styles'''.  The '''Arrow Style Begin Type '''dropdown is shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(6)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(6)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The default setting for the '''Begin Type''' is '''None''' and the default setting for the '''End Type '''is '''Arrow'''.  The chart illustration above shows the '''Arrow''' '''Begin Type'''.
+
−
 
+
−
=====Begin Size and End Size=====
+
−
 
+
−
You can '''edit''' the '''size''' of the '''Begin '''and '''End Type '''changing the value in the adjacent window.  '''Begin '''and '''End Size '''is measured in pixels.  The larger the value, the larger size of the '''Begin''' or '''End Type'''.
+
−
 
+
−
=====Cautions=====
+
−
 
+
−
You can override OnePager’s determination of '''Begin''' and '''End Type Arrow Styles''' by making your own selections in the dropdown windows shown in the above form.  '''This is not recommended for '''Data-driven Task Links''' because the end result of the '''edit '''is to potentially alter the '''look''' of the '''Dependency relationship '''between task bars/milestone symbols and thereby appear to violate the integrity of your '''source plan '''data.
+
−
 
+
−
====Font Sub-Control Group====
+
−
 
+
−
You can '''edit''' the '''Font properties''' associated with '''Task Links''' in the '''Font '''sub-control group.  Clicking the '''Font''' dropdown accesses the standard OnePager Express '''Font properties '''form as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(7)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(7)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Font properties '''form is used throughout OnePager Express for '''editing''' the '''font properties''' of all text elements within OnePager.
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Font Properties form''', shown above, has six (6) controls.  '''Font Dropdown''':  The '''Font Dropdown '''button''' '''provides a list of '''fonts '''available on your computer.
+
−
 
+
−
'''Color''':  The '''Color Dropdown '''button provides access to the standard OnePager Express '''Color Chooser''' form as discussed above.  In this context, the '''Color Chooser '''is used to select the '''color globally''' for any text associated with either '''Data-driven '''or manual '''Task Link'''.
+
−
 
+
−
'''Size''': The '''Size''' selector establishes the '''font size''' of any text '''globally '''associated with either '''Data-driven''' or manual '''Task Links'''.
+
−
 
+
−
'''B''', ''I'', [[U]]: These three buttons control the '''formatting '''of text with respect to the '''font '''displaying '''Bold''', ''Italics'', or [[Underline]]''' text'''.
+
−
 
+
−
When you complete the '''editing '''of the '''text''' with the '''Font properties '''form, click the '''OK '''button to apply the '''edits'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Horizontal Anchor Sub-Controls Group for Manual Task Links Only====
+
−
 
+
−
For more information on how the '''Horizontal Anchor (Manual Task Links Only)''' sub-control group applies only to manual '''Task Links''', please see this section in the article at: [[Manual Editing of Task Links for OnePager Express for Version 7.0#Editing Manual Task Links | Manual Editing of Task Links for OnePager Express – Editing Manual Task Links]] <!--19.4.2-70-->
+
−
 
+
−
====Vertical Anchor Sub-Control Group for All Task Links====
+
−
 
+
−
For both manual and '''Data-driven Task Links''', you have control over where the '''Task Link Vertical Anchors''' connect to the task bars/milestone symbols.  There are four (4) '''Vertical Anchor point''' options each for the '''Predecessor''' and '''Successor''' task bars.
+
−
 
+
−
=====Top=====
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Task Link connection line''' '''anchors''' at the '''Top''' of the task bar/milestone symbol and '''departs vertically '''or '''horizontally''' from the '''Top'''.
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(8)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(8)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
=====Middle=====
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Task Link''' '''connection line anchors''' at the '''vertical center''' of the task bar/milestone symbol and '''departs horizontally''' or '''vertically '''from the '''middle'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(9)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(9)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
=====Bottom=====
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Task Link connection line anchors''' at the '''bottom '''of the task bar or '''departs vertically''' or '''horizontally '''from the '''bottom'''.
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_3_2-70-(10)-10082020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_3_2-70-(10)-10082020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
=====Auto=====
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Auto''' '''option''' is the '''default''' option employed by OnePager so that it can initially make decisions on how best to '''vertically position''' the '''Begin point''' and '''End point shapes''' of the '''Task Link''' '''connection line''' routing through the chart. 
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Task Link’s Dependency Type''' is preserved.  The controls just below the four (4) radio buttons in the illustrations above apply to the '''Vertical Anchors '''for '''End points''' on '''successor '''task bars.
+
−
 
+
−
===Data-Driven Task Links Control Group===
+
−
 
+
−
The '''Data Driven Task Links''' control group in the '''Task Links''' tab of the '''Chart Properties '''form provides a means for '''importing Data-driven Task Links after the chart is created'''. 
+
−
 
+
−
====Import and Show Links====
+
−
 
+
−
After the chart is '''created''', but before '''Data-driven Task '''Links are '''imported''', the checkbox within the '''Data-Driven Task Links''' control group has the label of '''Import and show links''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_1_3_2-70-(4)-10072020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_1_3_2-70-(4)-10072020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
After checking the '''Import and show links''' checkbox '''ON''' and clicking either '''Apply '''or '''OK '''in the '''Chart Properties '''form, all '''Data-driven Task Links '''are '''imported '''and '''shown'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Show Data-Driven Task Links====
+
−
 
+
−
Accessing the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Task Links''' tab after the '''import '''process is complete shows the '''Data-Driven Task Links''' control group looking like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:X70-19_1_3_2-70-(4)-10072020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>X70-19_1_3_2-70-(4)-10072020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
With all '''Data-driven Task Links imported''' the '''Filter Links '''sub-control group’s radio buttons are '''enabled '''allowing you to '''Show all Data-driven Task Links '''or use the '''Task Link Filter Rules''' form to control which '''Task Links '''are ''' shown ''' or '''hidden'''.
+
−
 
+
−
====Use Rules Radio Button====
+
−
 
+
−
Clicking the '''Use Rules''' radio button '''enables '''the '''Manage Rules''' button that provides access to the '''Task Link Filter Rules '''form as shown here:

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.
