'''Date label''' displays are driven by the '''start and finish date'''  data '''imported''' from the Microsoft Project '''source plan'''.  Every task in a Microsoft Project '''source plan''' has a designated '''start and finish date'''.  A milestone's '''start and finish dates''' in the '''source plan''' are usually the same.

About Date Labels

Date label displays are driven by the start and finish date data imported from the Microsoft Excel source plan. Every task in a Microsoft Excel source plan has a designated start and finish date. A milestone's start and finish dates are usually the same. You can choose to use date labels for tasks, milestones, or both.

Using the Chart Properties Form to Edit Date Labels

All' task and milestone shape date labels cab be edited without changing the settings in the current Template by clicking the Chart Properties button on the Home ribbon in the Settings group as shown here:

X70-10 2 1-70-(1)-09142019.png

Clicking the Chart Properties button accesses the Chart Properties form. Next, navigate to either the Task Bars or Milestones tab as appropriate. On the Task Bars tab, as shown below, ensure that the Date Labels checkbox is checked On:

X70-10 2 1-70-(2-1)-09252020.png

Clicking the Date Label Properties... button to the right of the Date Labels checkbox accesses the Set Date Label Properties form as shown here:

X70-10 2 1-70-(3-1)-09252020.png

There are eight (8) controls in the form above. All actions are consistent with identical controls found elsewhere in OnePager Express (OPX).

Date Label Font

This control causes the Font properties form shown below to appear when the dropdown button is clicked.

X70-10 2 1-70-(3A)-09142019.png

Within this form are controls for date text font style, color and size. Additionally, you can set the date text to Bold, Italic, or Underline.

Show (start/finish) and Position Date Label Text

The two checkboxes, Show start date and Show finish date, control the display of these two dates, respectively. When checked, you have the option of selecting the position of the dates individually or together:

X70-10 2 1-70-(4)-09142019.png

The Start field and Finish field are dropdown lists of all date type fields imported from your source plan giving you the options to select a different start date field or finish date field for use in the chart. A Start field dropdown list example is shown below:

X70-10 2 1-70-(5)-09142019.png

The combination of task label display and date label display for all task/milestone shapes can cause a crowded appearance around the task/milestone shape. Use the date label positioning controls to achieve the appearance desired in combination with task labels.

Date Format

OnePager provides a great deal of variety for the selection of date formats for task/milestones. For consistency, the available formats for task/milestone shape's date formats are the same as for date formats used for the time axis at the top/bottom of the chart. A sample of date formats are shown below:

X70-10 2 1-70-(6)-09142019.png

Separator

The separators are pairs of symbols that help differentiate the date label from other nearby text (e.g., task labels or percent complete). There are several separator options to select from as shown below:

X70-10 2 1-70-(7)-09142019.png

Use Fiscal Year

The Use fiscal year checkbox is an instruction, if checked On, to OnePager to show the displayed date in the fiscal year format for the chart’s time axis. OnePager takes the action only if the time axis for the chart is, indeed, displaying the time axis in a fiscal year format. Make sure that the time axis is in fiscal mode to assure that date labels displayed are consistent.

Sample Start and Finish Date Labels in the Chart

When the Date Labels checkbox is checked On and both the Show start date and Show finish date checkboxes are checked On in the Set date label properties form, the date labels looks like this:

X70-10 2 1-70-(8)-09142019.png
