'''Comment boxes''' are attached to '''selected '''task bars/milestone symbols in the chart and are presented using the parameters initially set in the '''Comment Boxes''' tab.
+
The OnePager '''column splitting''' feature allows you to '''duplicate task bars''' when a task in your Asana '''source plan''' is assigned to '''multiple resources''' (or anything else).  Because assignments from Asana often are '''comma-delimited''', this feature enables OnePager to '''parse the comma-delimited list''' and '''create a unique task bar''' for each instance in the '''comma-separated''' list.
  
The controls discussed in this article pertaining to OnePager Pro also apply to the controls for '''Comment boxes''' for OnePager Express.
+
===Split Resource Names Example===
  
==Application of Comment Box Tab Edits to the Chart==
+
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:
  
'''Comment boxes''' are created in the chart by first selecting a task bar/milestone symbol and clicking the '''Comment Box''' icon on the OnePager '''Insert''' ribbon tool bar tab shown here:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(1)-11022023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(1A)-10202020.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_11_1_7-70-(1A)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
  
Only one task bar/milestone symbol can be selected for the addition of a '''Comment box''' at a time. When you click the '''Comment Box icon''', the '''Create or edit comment box''' form is accesses as shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(5)-11272023.png</center>
  
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(1B)-10202020.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>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(1B)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
  
After establishing the appropriate settings in the '''Create or edit comment box''' form, click the '''OK''' button to '''create the Comment box'''.
+
===Enabling Splitting===
  
For more information on '''creating and editing comment boxes''', please see the article at: [[Creating and Managing Comment Boxes for Version 7.0 | Creating and Managing Comment Boxes]] <!--13.0.1-70-->
+
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 controls in the '''Comment Box''' tab of the '''Chart Properties''' form are '''applied to new '''Comment boxes created''' AFTER''' the '''edits''' to the form are made. If you make any '''edit''' in the '''Comment Box''' tab and click the '''OK''' button on the form, the '''NEXT Comment box created''' in the chart uses those '''edited parameters''' when '''creating''' the '''Comment box.'''  If any changes are made to '''control/parameters''' in the '''Comment Box''' tab '''AFTER Comment boxes were created''' in the chart, these '''existing Comment boxes do not''' display the most recent '''edits''' made in the '''Comment Box''' tab.

==Global Editing Controls for Comment Boxes==
+
When you click the '''Next>''' button at the bottom of the form, OnePager accesses the second page of the '''OnePager choices''' form shown below:
  
===Font Controls===
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png]]</center>
 +
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AA)-11022023.png</center>
  
The '''Font''' dropdown provides access to the standard OnePager '''Font properties''' form that allows you to change the '''font properties''' of the '''Comment box''' text as shown below:
+
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>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(2)-10202020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(2)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2AAA)-11022023.png</center>
  
The standard '''Font properties''' form allows you to set the '''Comment box text's''' '''font type''', '''color''' using the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form, the '''font size''' in pixels, and the '''Bold -''' ''Italics'' '''- [[Underline]]''' settings.
+
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.
  
===Box Size Controls===
+
===Split Resources in the Chart===
  
The '''Box Size''' sub-control group has two windows, shown below, that allow you to set the '''width and height''' in '''inches''' or '''centimeters''' for the dimensions of all '''Comment boxes''' depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used.
+
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>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(2A-1)-10202020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(2A-1)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
<center>P72-24_5_3-72-(2)-11022023.png</center>
  
===Box Offset from Anchor Controls===
+
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'''.
  
If the '''Set Globally''' checkbox is checked '''ON''', the '''X and Y values''' appearing in the windows adjacent to the right are '''enabled''' and can be '''edited''' to establish different '''horizontal and vertical''' displacements of the '''Comment boxes''' from their '''anchor''' locations on the task bars/milestone symbols 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_11_1_7-70-(2B)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
  
The values for '''X''' and '''Y''' are in '''inches or centimeters''' depending on the '''Template Properties''' form being used.  The '''X''' value measures distance from the anchor in the horizontal direction form the anchor and the '''Y''' value measures distance from the anchor in the vertical directionValues can be either '''positive''' or '''negative'''.  If the '''Set Globally''' checkbox is checked '''OFF''', all '''Comment boxes''' created in the chart are all '''offset from their anchor point''' by the '''default values''' shown in the windows adjacent to the right as shown in the example below where the '''offsets''' are the '''default values''' of '''X=1.0''' and '''Y=1.0''':
+
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.

+
 
+
====Show connecting lines when transparent Checkbox====
+
 
+
When the '''Transparent''' checkbox is checked '''ON''' and the '''Show connecting lines when transparent''' checkbox is also checked '''ON''' the '''border''' of the '''Comment box''' is not shown but the '''connecting line''' to the '''Comment box's''' anchor point is displayed as shown here:
+

+
<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(6)-10312019.png</center>
+
 
+
====Background Color====
+
 
+
The '''Background Color''' dropdown provides access to the OnePager standard '''Color Chooser'''.  The selected '''color''' fills the '''Comment box''', however, the '''connecting line''' and the '''border color''' of the '''comment box'''  remain the same '''color''' as the '''selected''' task bar/milestone symbol as shown in the example below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(7)-10202020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(7)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The '''default Background color''' starts out always the same as the '''fill color''' of the task bar/milestone symbol to which the '''Comment box''' is anchored.  The '''Background color''' is '''disabled''' when the '''Transparent''' checkbox is checked '''ON''' as discussed above.
+
 
+
===Anchor Position Slider Bar Control===
+
 
+
16) The '''Anchor Position slider bar''' sets the location along the task bar at which '''Comment boxes''' are '''anchored''' as illustrated below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(7A)-10202020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(7A)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
17) The '''value''' of the '''position''' is a '''percentage of the duration''' of the task bar as measured from its '''Start date'''.
+
 
+
18) Below is an example of a '''Comment box positioned''' at the 25% '''position''' on the '''selected''' task bar:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(8)-10312019.png]]</center>
+
<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(8)-10312019.png</center>
+
 
+
===Anchor Shape Selection Control===
+
 
+
The '''Anchor marker''' control  consists of two (2) controls as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(9)-10202020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(9)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The '''None''' checkbox, when checked '''ON''', '''disables''' the showing of any '''Anchor marker''' associated with all '''Comment boxes''' in the '''graph'''.  With the '''None''' checkbox checked '''OFF''', the '''Anchor marker''' dropdown list is '''enabled''' and you can use this dropdown list to select an appropriate '''Anchor marker''' for all '''anchor points''' for '''Comment boxes''' in the chart.  The list of '''Anchor markers''' are the same as the list of Milestone symbols available for use and found at the '''Milestones''' tab of the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties''' forms.
+
 
+
===Anchor Color Control===
+
+
The '''Anchor Color''' dropdown provides access to the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' that you can use to establish the '''color''' of the '''Anchor marker''' as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_11_1_7-70-(10)-10202020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-21_11_1_7-70-(10)-10202020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
As an example, selecting the '''color green''' for the '''Anchor marker color''' produces a '''Comment box''' with an '''Anchor marker''' that looks like this:
+

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.
