Under most circumstances the '''height of a swimlane''' is determined by the combined '''height of rows''' that are members of the '''swimlane'''.  Additionally, where there are '''multiple swimlane levels''' represented in the chart, an increase or decrease in a '''member row’s height''' increases or decreases the '''height of swimlanes''' in which the '''edited row''' is a member.  There are no '''global '''controls in OnePager either in the '''Template Properties '''or '''Chart Properties '''forms for specifically '''resizing the height of swimlanes'''.
+
There may be some occasions where a chart has too much detail and, for a particular schedule discussion and presentation, it is necessary to '''hide''' one or more '''swimlane levels '''yet retain the '''swimlane''' in the chart.  '''Hiding '''and '''unhiding swimlane levels '''is done using the controls in the '''Template Properties '''and '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab as discussed in this article.  When '''swimlane levels''' are '''hidden''', their '''parent swimlane levels''', if any, are unchanged; their '''lower swimlane level cells '''are unchanged; and their '''rows''' remain '''unhidden'''.  '''Hiding''' '''swimlane levels''' may have an impact on the '''width dimensions''' of the chart.
  
−
To manually '''edit swimlane heights''', at least one '''swimlane level '''must be present in the chart so that you can select a '''swimlane''' and manage its '''height''' manually.  '''Swimlane heights''' can be manually increased or decreased in the '''Chart Editor''' by using a left-click in the desired '''swimlane level cell '''to select the '''swimlane''' and continue using the mouse in '''double-arrow cursor mode '''to '''drag and drop '''the '''grab boxes '''that accompany the''' swimlane '''selection to the desired '''swimlane height'''.

This article discusses the methods for '''hiding''' and '''unhiding''' '''swimlane levels '''and their '''swimlane level cell labels''' in the chart.

==Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels Using the Chart Properties Form’s Rows/Swimlanes Tab’s Controls==
  
−
Please keep in mind that any increases or decreases in '''swimlane heights''' in the chart impacts the '''heights''' of subordinate '''swimlanes''', their '''member rows''', and the chart’s '''height dimension'''.
+
The '''Template Properties''' and the '''Chart Properties''' forms are used to '''hide '''and '''unhide swimlane levels''' without changing the '''swimlane sorting''' in the chart.  It may be advantageous to initially create a chart '''Template''' that defines all three possible '''swimlane levels''' and later, using the controls in the '''Chart Properties '''form, as discussed in this article, '''hide '''one or more '''swimlane levels''' to improve the presentation attributes of your chart.  In most cases '''swimlane level visibility''', '''row grouping''', and '''swimlane sort settings''' are first established in the '''Template Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab.  These setting are used by OnePager to create the initial chart and establish the settings in the chart’s '''Chart Properties''' form.
  
−
This article covers how to adjust individual '''swimlane heights '''using available '''editing techniques''' in the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
'''Hiding '''and '''unhiding swimlane levels '''can be done by changing the setting of one checkbox for the '''swimlane level''' you desire to '''hide''' or '''unhide''' as described in the procedures and examples provided below.
  
−
==Swimlane Height Changes When Member Rows Change Height==
+
===Hiding Swimlane Levels - Examples===
  
−
As mentioned above, changing a '''row’s''' '''height '''changes the '''height of the swimlane''' in which the '''edited row''' is a member.  As an example, we can start with the chart shown below where there are three '''swimlane levels''' and two '''text columns''':
+
To show how '''hiding''' an entire '''swimlane level''' changes the configuration of a chart, let’s start with a three '''swimlane level''' chart with two '''text columns''' for each''' row''' as shown here:
  
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>-->
 
<!--<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>-->
  
−
To continue the example, we can select a '''row''' that is a member of all three '''swimlane levels''' in preparation for increasing that selected '''row’s height''' shown here:
+
Next, let’s show how to '''hide''' a '''swimlane level''' using the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab’s controls as follows.
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(1)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
To '''hide''' the '''Left#1 swimlane level '''in the above chart, access the '''Chart Properties''' form at the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab, navigate to the '''Swimlanes''' control group, click on the '''Left#1 '''tab, and then click the '''Swimlane Formatting… '''button to access the '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #1 '''form as shown below:
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(1)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Using the top '''grab box '''on the selected '''row '''and '''dragging''' the mouse upward, the '''row’s height''' is increased as well as the '''heights''' of the '''swimlanes '''in which the selected '''row''' is a member as shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_5_1-(1)-07232020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-12_5_1-(1)-07232020.png</center>-->
  
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(2)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
To '''hide''' the '''Left#1 swimlane level''', go to the '''Swimlane Text '''control group in the '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #1 '''form, and uncheck the '''Label by''' checkbox to '''OFF''' as shown below:
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(2)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
  
−
Comparing the two illustrations above, there are a few things to observe:
+
<center>[[File: P70-12_5_1-(2)-07232020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-12_5_1-(2)-07232020.png</center>-->
  
−
:1) Significantly increasing the selected '''row’s height''' increased the '''Left#3 swimlane (Subcontractor A) height'''.  
+
After unchecking the '''Label by''' checkbox to '''OFF''', click the '''OK '''button on the above form and the '''OK '''button on the '''Chart Properties '''form. The chart now looks like this:
  
−
:2) The '''Left#2 swimlane (Integration & Testing) height '''also increased because the selected '''row '''and the '''Left#3 swimlane '''in which the selected '''row''' is a member increased in '''swimlane height''' as well.
+
<center>[[File: P70-12_5_1-(3)-07232020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-12_5_1-(3)-07232020.png</center>-->
  
−
:3) Because the '''Left#2 swimlane level (Integration & Testing) '''is a member of the '''Left#1 swimlane level (Phase III)''', that '''highest level swimlane '''also increased its''' height'''.
+
Using this same method, we can additionally '''hide''' the '''Left#3 swimlane level''' by navigating through the '''Chart Properties '''form to the '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #3 '''form’s '''Swimlane Text '''control group and unchecking its '''Label by''' checkbox to '''OFF '''to get the result below:
  
−
:4) Finally, note that '''the height dimension''' of the chart is increased by the amount of increase of the selected '''row'''.
+

<!--<center>P70-12_5_1-(4)-07232020.png</center>-->
  
−
The example given above illustrates how '''swimlane levels''' are increased in '''height '''and also illustrates how increasing a selected '''row''' or '''row’s height''' can impact on the chart visually.  When there are fewer '''swimlane levels''' visible in the chart, the impact on the entire chart by increasing '''row height '''is lessened.
+
The chart configuration above shows only the '''Left#2 swimlane level'''.
  
−
==Resizing the Height of Swimlanes==
+
===Unhiding Swimlane Levels===
  
−
===Important!===
+
When '''swimlane levels '''are '''hidden''' using the procedure discussed above, the procedure for '''unhiding '''these '''hidden swimlane levels''' requires rechecking their associated '''Label by''' checkbox back to '''ON '''in their respective '''Swimlane Formatting – Left #n '''form.  When '''swimlane levels''' are '''unhidden''' using this procedure, they are placed in the chart in their original position and the '''grouping''' and '''sorting''' of '''rows''' in the '''graph area '''remains unchanged unless '''rows''' and/or '''swimlanes '''were manually '''dragged and dropped''' into different positions in the '''graph'''.
−
 
+
−
Selection of multiple '''swimlane level cells''' using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''or the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''methods is restricted to the '''same swimlane level'''.  That is, you may only use these selection methods to select '''multiple swimlanes''' in the '''same swimlane level'''.  OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0 ignores any attempt to select a '''swimlane level cell''' in a '''swimlane level''' other than in the '''first swimlane level '''selected.
+
−
 
+
−
====CTL+Left-Click Selection of Multiple Individual Swimlane Level Cells====
+
−
 
+
−
To select '''multiple swimlane level cells''' in the same '''swimlane level''' using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method, initially select the '''first swimlane level cell''' without holding the '''CTL Key down'''.  Then, holding the '''CTL Key down''', select the '''second and following swimlane level cells''' until all desired '''swimlane level cells''' are selected.
+
−
 
+
−
====SHIFT+Left-Click Selection of Multiple Sequential Swimlane Level Cells====
+
−
 
+
−
To select a sequence of '''swimlane level cells''' in the '''same swimlane''' using the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''method, go to the '''first swimlane level cell''' in the sequence, hold the '''SHIFT Key '''down, and left-click to select this '''swimlane level cell'''.  Next, go to the last '''swimlane level cell''' in the sequence with the '''SHIFT Key still held down''' and left-click this last '''swimlane cell''' in the sequence.  As a result, all the '''swimlane level cells''' from the first in the sequence to the last are selected.

===Changing the Height of a Single Selected Swimlane===
+
−
 
+
−
In the '''Chart Editor''' individual '''swimlanes''' in all visible '''swimlane levels''' can be selected by performing a left-click in the desired '''swimlane level cell''' as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(3)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(3)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Once the desired '''swimlane''' is selected, used the '''grab boxes '''to increase or decrease the '''swimlane height''' using the same method as discussed for changing '''row heights'''.  An example of increasing a selected '''swimlane height''' is provided in the sub-section above.
+
−
 
+
−
Depending on your schedule discussion needs, you can increase or decrease the '''swimlane height''' of any '''swimlane level''' visible in the chart using the above method as illustrated here for increasing the '''swimlane height''' of a '''Left#2 swimlane''':
+
−

<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(4)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Looking at the illustration above reveals several interesting impacts to the chart:
+
−
 
+
−
:1) Increasing the '''Left#2 swimlane level’s height''' increases the '''height''' of the subordinate '''Left#3 swimlane levels '''and all its member '''rows'''.
+
−
 
+
−
:2) Because the selected '''Left#2 swimlane level (Integration & Testing) '''is a member of a '''Left#1 swimlane level (Phase III)''' that '''Left #1 swimlane level (Phase III) '''is increased in '''height'''.
+
−
 
+
−
:3) As a result of the overall increase in '''swimlane level heights''', the '''height dimension''' of the chart is increased as shown in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Page Layout '''tab’s '''Document Setup''' control group’s '''Document height dial value window''' below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(5)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(5)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
The examples provided in this sub-section illustrates that it is possible to select any '''swimlane level cell''' and its '''swimlane''' and use the '''grab boxes''' provided to increase or decrease the '''swimlane height'''.  If, as an alternative, you use the '''double-left-click''' to select '''a specific swimlane level cell''', the action does not select the entire '''swimlane''' and it is not possible (using this selection method) to adjust the '''swimlane level’s height '''as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(6)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(6)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
'''Multiple swimlane levels''' can be '''edited''' with respect to '''swimlane height''' using either of the '''multiple swimlane''' selection methods described in the above sub-section.
+
−
 
+
−
===Changing the Height of Several Selected Swimlanes in the Same Level===
+
−
 
+
−
As an example, if we use the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method to select three '''swimlanes''' in the same '''Left#3 swimlane level''', the resulting selection looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(7)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(7)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
To increase the '''height''' of all three '''swimlanes''', move the cursor to one of the '''top grab boxes '''until the cursor becomes the '''double-arrow''' shape as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(8)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(8)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
With the '''double-arrow''' cursor showing (mouse left-click button held down), move the mouse upward to the desired '''swimlane height''' and release the mouse left-click button as shown below:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(9)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(9)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
At the end of the operation, all three selected '''swimlanes''' have their respective '''heights''' increased by the same amount and their member '''rows''' are increased in '''height'''.
+
−
 
+
−
===Changing the Height of Sequentially Selected Swimlanes in the Same Level===
+
−
 
+
−
As another example, if we use the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''method to select four''' consecutive''' '''swimlanes''' in the same '''Left#3 swimlane level''', the resulting selection looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(10)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(10)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
As shown in the previous example above, to increase the '''height''' of all four '''swimlanes''', move the cursor to one of the '''top grab boxes '''until the cursor becomes the '''double-arrow''' shape as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(11)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(11)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
With the '''double-arrow''' cursor showing (mouse left-click button held down), move the mouse upward to the desired '''swimlane height''' and release the mouse left-click button as shown here:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(12)-07142020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(12)-07142020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
==Resizing Swimlanes by Resizing the Chart’s Document Height==
+
−
 
+
−
All '''swimlane levels''' and their member '''rows '''can be increased or decreased in height by resizing the entire chart.  Recall that the '''Template Properties''' and '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Page Layout '''tab’s '''Documentation Setup '''control group has a control for setting '''Document height '''as shown below in its '''default setting''':
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(13)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(13)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
If it is necessary to increase all row and swimlane height in the chart, this can be done by increasing the value in the '''Document height dial value control''' after clicking the '''Document height '''radio button '''ON'''.
+
−
 
+
−
For the purpose of this example, if we change the '''Document height dial value control '''from its '''default value ''' of '''8.6 '''to '''12.0''', the resulting chart looks like this:
+
−
 
+
−
<center>[[File:P70-12_12_1-(14)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
−
<!--<center>P70-12_12_1-(14)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
−
 
+
−
Comparing the two chart illustrations above, after the '''Document height '''increase, the resulting chart has increased '''row heights''', increased '''swimlane heights''', and the chart’s '''height dimension '''is increased to '''12.0'''.  Because the chart’s '''height dimension''' is changed, the charts appearance in '''output media''' is changed as well and some adjustments may be required.

Overview

There may be some occasions where a chart has too much detail and, for a particular schedule discussion and presentation, it is necessary to hide one or more swimlane levels yet retain the swimlane in the chart. Hiding and unhiding swimlane levels is done using the controls in the Template Properties and Chart Properties form’s Rows/Swimlanes tab as discussed in this article. When swimlane levels are hidden, their parent swimlane levels, if any, are unchanged; their lower swimlane level cells are unchanged; and their rows remain unhidden. Hiding swimlane levels may have an impact on the width dimensions of the chart.

This article discusses the methods for hiding and unhiding swimlane levels and their swimlane level cell labels in the chart.

Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels Using the Chart Properties Form’s Rows/Swimlanes Tab’s Controls

The Template Properties and the Chart Properties forms are used to hide and unhide swimlane levels without changing the swimlane sorting in the chart. It may be advantageous to initially create a chart Template that defines all three possible swimlane levels and later, using the controls in the Chart Properties form, as discussed in this article, hide one or more swimlane levels to improve the presentation attributes of your chart. In most cases swimlane level visibility, row grouping, and swimlane sort settings are first established in the Template Properties form’s Rows/Swimlanes tab. These setting are used by OnePager to create the initial chart and establish the settings in the chart’s Chart Properties form.

Hiding and unhiding swimlane levels can be done by changing the setting of one checkbox for the swimlane level you desire to hide or unhide as described in the procedures and examples provided below.

Hiding Swimlane Levels - Examples

To show how hiding an entire swimlane level changes the configuration of a chart, let’s start with a three swimlane level chart with two text columns for each row as shown here:

P70-12 11 1-(2)-07102020.png

Next, let’s show how to hide a swimlane level using the Chart Properties form’s Rows/Swimlanes tab’s controls as follows.

To hide the Left#1 swimlane level in the above chart, access the Chart Properties form at the Rows/Swimlanes tab, navigate to the Swimlanes control group, click on the Left#1 tab, and then click the Swimlane Formatting… button to access the Swimlane Formatting – Left #1 form as shown below:

P70-12 5 1-(1)-07232020.png

To hide the Left#1 swimlane level, go to the Swimlane Text control group in the Swimlane Formatting – Left #1 form, and uncheck the Label by checkbox to OFF as shown below:

P70-12 5 1-(2)-07232020.png

After unchecking the Label by checkbox to OFF, click the OK button on the above form and the OK button on the Chart Properties form. The chart now looks like this:

P70-12 5 1-(3)-07232020.png

Using this same method, we can additionally hide the Left#3 swimlane level by navigating through the Chart Properties form to the Swimlane Formatting – Left #3 form’s Swimlane Text control group and unchecking its Label by checkbox to OFF to get the result below:

P70-12 5 1-(4)-07232020.png

The chart configuration above shows only the Left#2 swimlane level.

Unhiding Swimlane Levels

When swimlane levels are hidden using the procedure discussed above, the procedure for unhiding these hidden swimlane levels requires rechecking their associated Label by checkbox back to ON in their respective Swimlane Formatting – Left #n form. When swimlane levels are unhidden using this procedure, they are placed in the chart in their original position and the grouping and sorting of rows in the graph area remains unchanged unless rows and/or swimlanes were manually dragged and dropped into different positions in the graph.
