| − | ==Overview== | + | ==About Changing the Time Axis Background Colors and Fill Patterns== |
| | | | |
| − | Every '''chart''' has an annotated '''time axis''' coordinated with the various '''start/finish dates''' of task bars and milestone symbols represented in the '''graph'''. OnePager provides the option of displaying from one to three '''Time Axis Levels''' under your control. OnePager is distributed with '''Template Properties''' forms that typically show three '''Time Axis Levels ''': '''Years''', '''Quarters''', and '''Months''', for example.
| + | OnePager has consolidated controls for '''editing''' the '''background color '''for all three '''Time Axis Levels'''. Additionally, you are able to '''edit''' the '''Fill Pattern''' for all the '''Time Axis Level Cells''' at the same time you '''edit''' the '''background color'''. For each '''Time Axis Level''' there are controls for you to set and '''edit''' the '''Background Color '''and '''Fill Pattern'''. |
| | | | |
| − | '''Time Axis Levels''' can be scaled into '''different units of time''' by using the '''editing '''controls provided in the '''Template Properties '''form or the '''Chart Properties ''' form’s '''Time Axis '''tabs shown below. The '''timespan''' of the '''Time Axis '''in the chart depends on the '''Start '''and '''Finish''' '''dates''' either that you input or that are calculated by OnePager from your '''source plan'''. Once a chart is created, you have the '''editing '''controls available to restructure the number of '''Time Axis Levels''' displayed, their '''units of time''', the '''font properties '''of '''text''' contained in each '''Time Axis cell''', and several other attributes as explained in other articles in this series.
| + | The controls are shown here for the '''Middle Time Axis Level''': |

| | + | <!--<center>P70-22_1_3-70-(1)-10272020.png</center>--> |
| | | | |
| − | You also have the capability to position the '''Time Axis '''on the '''Top''' or '''Bottom '''of the '''graph''' or in '''both '''locations under your control.
| + | A capability is also provided so that you can '''edit''' the '''background color '''of individual '''Time Axis Cells''' and the attributes of the '''text '''contained in those '''cells'''. |
| | | | |
| − | A new feature, called the '''Floating Time Axis''', provides the capability to insert '''Time Axis Levels''' into the body of the '''graph''' at any '''row '''position.
| + | ===Sample Background Colors and Fill Pattern Edits=== |
| | | | |
| − | For more information on the '''Floating Time Axis''', please see the article at: [[The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | The Floating Time Axis Feature for OnePager Express]] <!--22.3.10-70-->
| + | The process for '''editing''' the '''background colors '''for the '''Time Axis '''is the same for all '''levels'''. '''Color 1''' and '''Color 2''', when clicked, accesses the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form so that you can have access to alternating '''colors''' for adjacent '''Time Axis Cells'''. |
| | | | |
| − | There are additional '''editing '''capabilities available using '''Chart Editor ''' '''editing''' techniques and convenient '''editing '''controls added to the OnePager Express ribbon tool bar. The remainder of this article provides basic examples of how the '''Time Axis '''feature in OnePager Express can be used to configure appropriate '''Time Axis '''displays.
| + | For more information on '''Color Selection''', please see this section in the article at: [[Main Tab for Version 7.0#Color Palettes | Main Tab - Color Palettes]] <!--21.1.1-70--> |
| | | | |
| − | ==Using the Chart Properties Form’s Time Axis Tab==
| + | By '''selecting''' the same '''color''' for '''Color 1''' and '''Color 2 '''you can create a single '''color '''representation for the entire '''Time Axis Level'''. There are five (5) '''fill patterns '''from which to choose as shown in the illustration above. When '''selected''', the '''fill pattern '''is applied to all '''cells '''in the '''Time Axis Level'''. |
| | | | |
| − | As previously mentioned, OnePager Express consolidated all the '''Time Axis '''controls into a new '''Chart Properties '''form tab called the '''Time Axis '''tab. The '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab is almost identical to the same tab on the '''Template Properties''' form so the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab and its five (5) sub-tabs are used here for the illustrations and examples that follow. In the following sub-sections below are illustrations showing the various sub-tab subsets for the '''Chart Properties''' form’s '''Time Axis '''tab:
| + | An example of an alternating '''color '''scheme for the '''Middle Time Axis Level '''is shown below: |

| | | | |
| − | ===Format Sub-Tab===
| + | After clicking the '''Time-axis properties… '''command, the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab is accessed at the '''Level '''of the selected '''cell(s) '''so you can '''edit''' the contents of '''Color 1''', '''Color 2''', and the '''Fill '''selection window. These '''edits''', when '''applied''' by clicking the '''Apply '''or '''OK '''button on the '''Chart Properties '''form, changes the '''Color 1''', '''Color 2''', and '''Fill Pattern '''for the entire '''Time Axis Level'''. |
| | | | |

| − | After clicking the '''Show All Time Axis Cells''' command, the five '''hidden''' month '''Time Axis Level Cells '''become '''unhidden'''. The dates used in the '''Curtains and Timespans Grid''' to define the '''hidden''' '''timespan''' include not only the date for '''From/To Dates''' but the time of day as well. If you just specify '''dates''', OnePager Express assumes that the '''From Date''' starts at midnight on that day and the '''To Date''' end a minute before midnight on that day. To completely specify the '''timespan '''for a '''Time Axis Level Cell''' to be '''hidden''' it is important to make sure that the '''timespan''' is complete.
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | ===Saving Time Axis Level Cell Settings in the Template Form===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | OnePager Express allows you to save the settings for a chart as a new '''Template Properties''' form with a '''Template '''name of your choosing. This can be done any time after creating or '''editing''' a chart by clicking the '''Copy to Template''' button on the OnePager Express '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab as shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(21)-11132020.png]]</center>

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If your chart contains '''Hidden Time Axis Level Cells''', these settings are '''copied''' to the new '''Template Properties''' form and saved. When the '''Template Properties '''form you previously '''saved''' is used to create a '''NEW''' chart, that chart reflects the '''Hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' you previously created. In the saved '''Template Properties '''form, the '''Hidden Time Axis Level Cells''' are represented in the '''Curtains and Timespans Grid''' as shown in the example below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(22)-11132020.png]]</center>

| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(22)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When the above '''Template Properties '''form is again used, any '''Time Axis Level Cells''' that are between the '''From Date''' and '''To Date''' are treated as '''Hidden Time Axis Level Cells'''. You can also '''edit''' the '''Zoom% '''value in a chart that is copied to become a new '''Template Properties''' form. When the '''saved Template '''is used again to create a chart, these saved '''Zoom% '''values are used on the new chart’s '''Time Axis Levels'''. '''Editing''' any of the corresponding settings in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Time Axis '''tab’s '''Format '''sub-tab does not change the corresponding settings in the '''Template Properties''' form. Settings can be '''edited''' in the '''Template Properties '''form but the form must be '''re-saved''' so that the '''edited''' settings are available for subsequent use the next time this '''Template Properties''' form is used to represent '''Hidden Time Axis Level Cells'''.

| − | Below is a sample chart with a '''Non-Linear Time Axis''' representation for the '''bottom level Time Axis'''. First the original '''Bottom Level''' '''Time Axis '''representation with the '''Cell''' to be '''stretched''' selected with a left-click:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(23)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(23)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | After '''stretching''' the January 2019 '''Time Axis Level Cell '''to the right with a drag and drop action the chart looks like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(24)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(24)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Note that the '''stretching''' of the '''bottom level Time Axis '''is accompanied by a '''stretching''' of the '''Middle Level''' and '''Top Level '''as shown in the example above. Additionally, any task bars/milestone symbols within the '''timespan stretched''' also appear to be '''stretched'''. You can select multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells''' using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method in a single or in multiple '''Time Axis Levels'''. Selecting a single '''Time Axis Level Cell''' in any '''Time Axis Level''' allows you to further right-click on the selected '''Cell''', access the '''Time Axis Level’s context menu''', and use any of the commands in the '''context menu '''as shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(25)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(25)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Selecting multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in any '''Time Axis Level''' and right-clicking on any selected '''Cells '''also accesses the '''context menu '''where most of the '''context menu’s''' command can be used. Selecting multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in different '''Time Axis Levels''' with the intent of '''stretching''' all the selected '''Cells''' is '''not supported'''. If this is attempted, OnePager only '''stretches '''those selected '''Time Axis Level Cells''' in the '''Time Axis Level''' where you used the mouse to '''stretch''' one of the selected '''Cells'''. '''Time Axis Level Cells '''in other '''Time Axis Levels''' are de-selected before the '''stretch''' drag and drop operation is started.

| − | ==The Floating Time Axis Feature==
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Below is a sample of an inserted '''Floating Time Axis''':
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(26)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(26)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Inserting a '''Floating Time Axis''' is done by right-clicking in the '''Row''' to access the '''context menu '''where you want the '''Floating Time Axis Level''' to appear either '''ABOVE''' or '''BELOW '''as shown here:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(27)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(27)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | If you select the '''Insert floating time axis level''' sub-command to place the '''Top Level Time Axis ABOVE''' the selected '''row''', the chart looks like this:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(28)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(28)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Repeating the process for '''Inserting the''' '''Middle Level Floating Time Axis''' '''ABOVE''' the selected '''Row '''creates '''two levels '''shown below:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | <center>[[File:X70-22_1_2-70-(29)-11132020.png]]</center>
| + | |
| − | <!--<center>X70-22_1_2-70-(29)-11132020.png</center>-->
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | When the action above is completed, all '''three levels''' of the '''Floating Time Axis '''appear. The same procedure can be used to '''Insert Floating Time Axis Levels BELOW''' the selected '''Row''' by accessing the '''context menu''' in the desired '''Row''' and using the alternate set of sub-commands that place '''Floating Time Axis Levels BELOW''' the selected '''Row'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Several individual or sets of '''Floating Time Axis Levels''' can be inserted in a chart. If you are not sure which '''Time Axis Level''' was inserted as a '''Floating Time Axis''', you can always do the following to double-check. Right-click on any '''Time Axis Level Cell''' in the '''Floating Time Axis '''in question which accesses the '''context menu'''. Then click the '''Chart properties''' command as shown in the above illustration. When you do this, the '''Chart Properties''' form '''Time Axis '''tab appears at the '''Time Axis Level '''sub-tab belonging to the '''Floating Time Axis Level''' you originally right-clicked.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Any manual '''edit''' made to a '''Time Axis Level Cell''' is reflected in the corresponding '''Floating Time Axis Level Cell''' with respect to the '''Cell '''properties that can be '''edited''' using the '''Chart Properties''' form '''Time Axis '''tab’s three '''Level '''sub-tab property setting controls and using the right-click '''context menu’s Format cell…''' command. Manual '''edits''' made to a '''Time Axis Level '''such as '''editing''' its '''height''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form '''Time Axis Level '''tabs are not made to the corresponding '''Floating Time Axis Level'''. Performing '''edits''' on the '''Row''' in which a '''Floating Time Axis Level '''resides either by using the '''Row’s context menu '''commands or the '''Edit Row properties '''form does not make corresponding '''edits''' to the properties of the corresponding '''Time Axis Level'''. Only '''edits''' to individual or multiple '''Time Axis Level Cells''' are mirrored in their corresponding '''Floating Time Axis Level Cells''' and vice versa.
