==About the Headers and Footers Tab for OnePager Pro==
+
==Introduction==
  
The '''Header/Footer''' tab controls the content displayed in the chart for the chart's '''title''' and the six (6) '''header and footer''' elements as shown below: 
+
This article is focused on using the ''' Column Splitting''' feature with OnePager Bundle '''Standalone''' and '''imported''' Asana '''source plans'''.

==About Splitting and Parsing Fields==
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(1-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
  
The '''Header/Footer''' tab also controls the chart's '''title''' size where the '''title''' is displayed above the '''graph''' (the chart's '''title''' is controlled on the '''Main''' tab page).
+
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===
  
The '''Header/Footer''' tab also controls the chart's '''title''' size where the '''title''' is displayed above the '''graph'''.  The chart's '''title''' itself is entered from the '''OnePager Choices''' ('''OPC''') form when the chart is first '''created'''.
+
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 '''title's''' content can be '''edited''' from the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Main''' tab as discussed in the article at: [[Main Tab for Version 7.0 | Main Tab]] <!--21.1.1-70-->

===Show Title===
+
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 '''Show title''' checkbox allows you to show or hide the '''title''' at the top of the '''graph area'''. When the '''Show title''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', the '''title''' appears in the chart above the '''graph'''.  When the '''Show title''' checkbox is checked '''OFF''', the '''title''' is not displayed and it's allocated space above the '''graph''' is reduced vertically.

===Title Font===
+
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.
  
The '''Title Font''' dropdown button accesses to the standard OnePager '''Font properties''' form allowing you to change the '''title font's properties''' as shown below:
+
===Enabling Splitting===

==Headers and Footers Control Group==
+
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'''.
  
There are two (2) sets of controls in this sub-group of the '''Header/Footers''' tab, one for '''headers''' and the second for '''footers'''.  Each is activated by the checking of the respective '''Show Headers/footers''' checkbox as shown here:
+
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==
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(4-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
  
===Header/Footer Left, Header/Footer Center, and Header/Footer Right===
+
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.
 
+
These six (6) dropdown boxes allow you to specify what '''source plan''' field you want to appear in each of the six (6) possible '''header/footer''' elements.  The choices for '''header/footer''' elements are shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_9_1-70-(5-1)-10192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(5-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When you make a choice from any of the the dropdown lists, OnePager fills in the associated information in the window to the immediate right of the element.  After you complete making your selections, the '''Headers/Footers''' tab’s '''Headers and Footers''' control group looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_9_1-70-(6-1)-10192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(6-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Using the above example, the chart would look like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_9_1-70-(7-1)-10192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(7-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Custom 1, Custom 2, Custom 3===
+
 
+
In the dropdown lists for the choices of '''header/footer''' elements there are three fields that you can '''customize''' by '''inserting your own '''text string''' in the window to the right as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_9_1-70-(7A-1)-10192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(7A-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When this is '''applied'''. the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_9_1-70-(7B-1)-10192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_9_1-70-(7B-1)-10192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Header Height===
+
 
+
The '''Header Height''' control in both the '''Header and Footer''' sub-control groups allows you to change the '''height''' of the '''header or footer''' in '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used. Increasing the '''Header or Footer height''' takes vertical space away from the chart as shown below where the '''header height''' and '''footer height''' were changed to 1.0 inches for illustrative purposes 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.
