==Overview==
  
There may be occasions where a chart may have too much detail and, for a particular schedule discussion and presentation, it is necessary to '''hide''' one or more '''rows''' or '''swimlanes'''.  '''Hiding rows''' or '''swimlanes '''is done by right-clicking in a '''text column''' for a '''row''' or a '''swimlane cell''' for a '''swimlane''' which accesses the appropriate '''context menu '''and the '''Hide''' command for either the '''row '''or the '''swimlane'''.  When '''rows''' are '''hidden''', their parent '''swimlane''', if any, is adjusted in '''height '''or becomes '''hidden '''if the '''row''' or '''rows''' being '''hidden '''make the '''swimlane empty'''.
+
When '''text column cells '''and '''swimlane cells''' appear in the chart their contents are determined by data '''imported '''from your Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel '''source plan'''. It may be necessary on occasion to '''edit''' the contents of these '''cells''' to support your schedule presentation goals and objectives.
  
'''Hiding''' '''rows''' or '''swimlanes''' also has an impact on the '''height dimensions''' of the chart.  All '''hidden rows''' and/or '''swimlanes''' can be '''unhidden''' by using the appropriate commands in the '''Show/Hide''' dropdown list of commands found on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab.  If '''rows''' are '''automatically hidden '''by OnePager because they are empty of task bars or milestone symbols, you can '''unhide''' these '''hidden row''' and '''hidden swimlanes''', if any, by clicking the '''Show All Rows '''command which '''unhides all rows''' but does not '''unhide any hidden''' task bars/milestone symbols.  Again, when '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''', clicking the '''Show All Swimlanes''' command '''unhides all swimlanes''' and their member '''rows'''.  This command does not '''unhide the unhidden rows'''’ task bars/milestone symbols if these were specifically '''hidden''' previously.
+
It is not necessary to go back to your '''source plan '''and change the data and '''re-import''' that data to change '''text column cells''' or '''swimlane cells'''; changes can be made to individual or a set of selected '''cells''' in the '''Chart Editor'''. Within the '''Chart Editor''', you can use the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu’s''' '''Edit text''' and '''Properties … '''commands or the '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu’s''' '''Edit swimlane label '''and '''Properties … '''commands to edit '''labels''' as well as other '''label properties'''.
  
Additionally, clicking on the '''Show All Tasks/Milestones''' in the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list also '''unhides '''any '''hidden rows''' and or '''swimlanes''' containing the '''hidden''' task bars/milestone symbols if these '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''' were previously automatically '''hidden'''.  Whenever task bars/milestone symbols, '''rows''', or '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' their status can be determined by accessing the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command found on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab within the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list.  Finally, the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form can be used to '''unhide rows''' and '''swimlanes'''.
+
For more information on using the '''text column cell label '''or '''swimlane level cell label properties''', please see the articles at:
 
+
This article discusses all these features and manual methods for '''hiding''' and '''unhiding''' '''rows''' and '''swimlanes''' in the chart. 
+
 
+
Please use the '''links''' in the '''Contents Box''' above quickly jump to a particular topic.
+
 
+
==Hiding Rows==
+
 
+
===Hiding a Single Row===
+
 
+
Using the various selection methods to select a '''row''' by right-clicking in an associated '''text column cell''', you can access the '''text column '''right-click '''context menu '''where the '''Hide row '''command is found as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(1-1)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(1-1)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Clicking the '''Hide row '''command produces this result for the selected '''row''' and in the '''swimlane''' in which it is a member:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(2)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(2)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When a '''row''' or '''rows''' are '''hidden''' in a '''swimlane''', the '''swimlane’s height''' is reduced as is the '''document height'''.
+
 
+
===Hiding Multiple Rows===
+
 
+
====Hiding Multiple Rows Using the CTL+Left-Click Method====
+
 
+
You can select '''multiple rows''' using either the '''CTL+Left-Click '''or the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''methods and once these '''rows''' are selected, right-click in any selected '''text column cell''' to access the '''text column '''right-click '''context menu'''.
+
 
+
Click the '''Hide row''' command to '''hide''' all the selected '''rows''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(3-1)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(3-1)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When Step 5 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide row''' command), the selected '''rows''' are '''hidden''' and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(4)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(4)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
====Hiding Multiple Rows Using the SHIFT+Left-Click Method====
+
 
+
In the above illustration '''hiding multiple rows''' didn’t happen to cause any '''parent swimlane''' to become '''empty of rows''' where OnePager automatically '''hides '''them.
+
 
+
This result can be illustrated by selecting a sequence of''' rows''' with the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method and using the '''Hide row '''command to '''hide''' these selected '''rows''' when they are the only constituents of a '''swimlane''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(5-1)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(5-1)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When Step 3 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide row''' command), the selected '''rows''' are '''hidden''' along with their '''parent swimlane''' and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(6)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(6)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Hiding Rows Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Hide Row Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You can use the '''Hide row''' command shown above to '''hide''' a selected '''row''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking in the '''row''' you desire to '''hide''' and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Hide row '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(36)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(36)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, we highlighted the selected '''row''' to make it clear which '''row''' is involved.  When a right-click is made in a '''row''' of the '''graph area''', OnePager does not show the selection rectangle.  Usually the upper right corner of the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is placed in the selected '''row''' so you know which '''row''' the command is going to act on.
+
 
+
'''Note''' that there are '''swimlane''' related commands in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' so those commands act on the '''swimlane''' that the selected '''row''' is a member.
+
 
+
Clicking the '''Hide row''' command shown above '''hides''' the selected '''row''' and any '''text column cells''' associated with it.  If the '''hidden row''' is the only '''row''' in the '''swimlane''', the '''swimlane''' is also '''hidden'''.  If the '''parent swimlane''' remains after the '''Hide row''' command is clicked, the '''swimlanes height''' is adjusted.  When OnePager adjusts the '''height '''of a '''swimlane''', this usually results in the '''document height''' being adjusted as well.  After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed.
+
 
+
===Automatically Hiding Empty Rows===
+
 
+
Whenever you '''hide''' a task bar/milestone symbol in its '''row''', you can follow this action by '''hiding the row'''.  This is done by clicking the '''Hide Rows''' button found on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab in the '''Editing '''control group shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(15)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(15)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Clicking the '''Hide Rows''' button accesses the '''Row hiding choices''' form that shows where the '''empty rows''' are generally located as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(16)-07152020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(16)-07152020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Clicking the '''OK''' button in the '''Row hiding choices''' form '''hides empty rows''' in the region where the checkboxes in the form are checked '''ON'''.
+
 
+
For more information on the use of the '''Hide Rows''' button and the '''Row hiding choices form''', please see the articles shown below:

==Unhiding Hidden Rows==
+
In addition to '''editing text column cells''' and '''swimlane cells''' using the right-click '''context menu''' commands, you can '''edit Font properties''' and '''Alignment settings''' of '''text column cells '''and '''swimlane cells''' using controls on the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Font''' and '''Alignment''' control groups. Since being able to edit requires first selecting the '''cells''' to '''edit''', it may be beneficial to review the sections on '''selection methods for text column cells and swimlane cells ''' at: [[About OnePager's Rows and Swimlanes#Selection Methods Available for Multiple Text Columns | Selection Methods Available for Multiple Text Columns]] <!--12.0.2-70--> and [[About OnePager's Rows and Swimlanes#Selection Methods Available for Multiple Swimlane Levels | Selection Methods Available for Multiple Swimlane Levels]] <!--12.0.2-70-->
  
===Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the OnePager Home Ribbon Tool Bar Tab’s Editing Control Group===
+
Whenever you make a change to a '''text column cell '''or '''swimlane cell''',''' '''the '''edited cell''' becomes a '''maverick'''.
  
When '''rows''' are '''hidden''' in the chart and it is necessary to '''unhide''' them, this can be done for all '''hidden rows''' by using the '''Show All Rows''' command found on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group as shown here:
+
==Editing Text Column Cells==
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(7)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
===Editing Individual Text Column Cells Using the Edit text Form===
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(7)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
In the illustration above, the second '''row''' in the top most '''swimlane''' is '''hidden'''.
+
For the purpose of illustration, we’ll use the OnePager Pro chart below containing three '''swimlane levels''' and two '''text columns''':
  
To '''unhide this row''' and all other '''rows''' that may be '''hidden''' elsewhere in the chart, access the '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group and click on the '''Show/Hide''' command to access the dropdown list shown above. Then, click the '''Show All Rows '''command and '''all hidden rows''' in the chart are '''unhidden '''as shown below:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(8)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
To '''edit''' the '''value''' of an individual '''text column cell''', right-click the '''text column cell''' to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(8)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
===Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form===
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(1)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(1)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
When you need to '''unhide '''one or more '''rows''' when many '''rows''' are '''hidden''' in the chart, using the '''Where’s My Stuff'''?! form is a convenient tool to selectively '''unhide rows'''.  As an example, suppose we '''hide''' every '''row''' occupying the top '''row''' in every '''Left#2 swimlane level''' as illustrated below:
+
After accessing the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''', click the '''Edit text''' command shown above to access the '''Enter text '''form and its '''Enter text''' window that contains the current contents of the selected '''text column cell''' as shown here:
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(9)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(2)-07222020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(9)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
<center> P70-12_3_1-(2)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
When the '''rows''' identified in the illustration above are '''hidden''', the chart now looks like this:
+
To change the contents of the selected '''text column cell''' using the above '''Enter text''' form, type in the desired '''text''' into the '''Enter text '''window and click the '''OK''' button when finished.
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(10)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(3)-07222020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(10)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
<center> P70-12_3_1-(3)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
The intent of the example is to '''unhide''' those '''rows''' that are members of the '''Prime''' '''Left#3 swimlane level''' while leaving all other '''rows''' '''hidden'''.
+
After clicking '''OK''' button on the '''Enter text''' form, the selected '''text column cell''' remains selected and the '''text''' in the '''cell''' is changed as shown below:
  
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form has several functions and, for this purpose, it records the task bars/milestone symbols that occupy '''rows''' that are '''hidden'''. The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form is accessed by again using the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list in the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing''' control group as shown here:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(4)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +

<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(11-1)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
===Editing Multiple Text Column Cells Using the Edit text Form===
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(11-1)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
When you click the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command, the form is accessed and contains the list of task bars/milestone symbols that are associated with '''hidden rows''' as shown below:
+
Editing the '''cells''' of multiple '''text columns''' is similar to '''editing''' an individual '''cell''' except that more '''cells''' are selected and the change made in the '''Edit text''' form’s window is applied to all selected '''cells'''. If we select a sequence of '''text column cells''' using the '''SHIFT+Left-Click ''' method to select the '''cells''', right-click in one of the selected '''cells''' to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''', and then click the '''Edit text''' command, the chart looks like this:
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(12)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(5)-07222020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(12)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
<center> P70-12_3_1-(5)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
For more information on the utilization of the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form, please see the article at: [[Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!" for Version 7.0 | Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!"]] <!--9.4.1-70-->
+
Changing the '''text''' in the '''Edit text''' window to '''“Started”''' and clicking the '''OK''' button on the form, changes the '''text''' in the selected '''text column cells''' as shown below:
  
For the purpose of the illustration here, suppose we want to '''unhide '''the '''rows''' containing task bars related to '''Engineering Team 1''' and '''Engineering Team 2'''.  To do this, click the checkbox in the '''Select '''column of the '''grid''' '''ON''' for each of the two '''Task Names''' of interest in the above form as shown here:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(6)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(6)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(13)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
The same results as shown above can be achieved when individual '''text column cells''' are selected to become a set of multiple '''text column cells''' using the '''CTL+Left-Click''' selection method.
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(13)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
Clicking the two '''Select''' column checkboxes '''ON''' as shown above, tells OnePager that you want OnePager to '''fix the selected '''issue in the '''selected grid row''' of the form.  To take this action, click the '''Fix Selected '''button shown in the form above and OnePager '''unhides''' to two identified '''Task Names''' and their '''rows''' in the chart as shown here:
+
==Editing Swimlane Cells==
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(14)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
1) In the illustrations above for '''editing text column cells''', you are able to select individual '''text column''' or multiple '''text column cells''' and use the '''Edit text''' form to change the selected '''cell values'''. The same process can be used for changing the '''values''' for individual '''swimlane cells''' or multiple '''swimlane cells''' depending on the selection method you use. The examples that follow illustrate how you can change individual and multiple '''swimlane cells''' in the chart.
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(14)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
After the actions are taken, the '''unhidden rows''' appear in the chart and the '''unhidden''' task bars remain selected as shown above. 
+
===Editing Individual Swimlane Level Cell Labels Using the Edit text Form===
  
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form’s '''grid rows''' are '''updated''' to show the actions taken and a list of actions taken and their status is displayed in the form below the '''grid'''.  The form remains open so you can take any additional '''fix actions'''.  If none are required, click the '''Close '''button to return to the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
For the purpose of illustration, we’ll use the same OnePager Pro chart below containing three '''swimlane levels''' and two '''text columns''':
 
+
===Unhiding All Rows Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Unhide All Rows Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You can use the '''Unhide all rows''' command shown above to '''unhide''' all '''rows''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking '''anywhere''' in the '''graph area '''and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Unhide all rows '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(39)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(39)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, the position of a '''hidden row''' is shown by the red arrow.  When a right-click is made anywhere in the '''graph area''', OnePager accesses the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' at the location near the right-click.  Clicking the '''Unhide all rows''' command shown above '''unhides''' the all '''rows hidden''' in the chart and any '''text column cells''' associated with them.  If the '''hidden rows''' make up '''swimlanes''' that are also '''hidden''', these '''swimlanes''' are also '''unhidden'''.  '''Parent swimlane''' that are '''unhidden''' have their '''swimlane heights''' adjusted.  After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
===Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Show Text Columns Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(41)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(41)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''', the '''Show text columns''' command, which is a '''toggle-type''' command, is '''toggled''' '''OFF'''.  The '''default setting''' for the '''Show text columns '''command is '''toggled ON'''.  When the '''Show text column '''command is '''toggled OFF''', if any '''text columns''' were present in the chart, they are no longer visible as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(42)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(42)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
To make all '''text columns '''visible in the chart, right-click anywhere in '''open space '''to access the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Show text columns''' command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(43)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(43)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''Show text columns '''command is '''toggled ON''', the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu '''closes and any''' enabled''' '''hidden text columns''' are displayed in the chart.  The '''Show text columns '''command is not '''enabled '''in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' if no '''text columns '''are set to be displayed because they are not '''enabled''' in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(44)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(44)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
If, however, one or more '''text columns '''are '''enabled''' in the form above, the '''Show text columns '''command in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is '''toggled ON'''.
+
 
+
==Hiding Swimlanes==
+
 
+
===General Rules for Hiding Swimlanes in Multiple Swimlane Level Charts===
+
 
+
====Overview from Previous Versions of OnePager Pro and Express====
+
 
+
Previous versions of OnePager Pro and Express supported a '''single swimlane level'''.  With a '''single swimlane level''', OnePager supported '''hiding a single swimlane''' containing one or more '''rows''' and could '''unhide''' the single '''swimlane''' at a later time depending need.
+
 
+
Also, with a '''single swimlane level''', OnePager supported '''hiding multiple swimlanes''' by selecting '''swimlanes individually''' ('''CTL+Left-Click '''selection method) or a '''sequence of swimlanes''' ('''SHIFT+Left-Click '''selection method).  As with '''unhiding''' a single '''swimlane''', OnePager supported easy methods for '''unhiding '''many '''hidden swimlanes''' as needs arose.
+
 
+
====OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0====
+
 
+
OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0 supports up to '''three swimlane levels''' and any combination of up to '''three swimlane levels''' as needed for your schedule presentation.  This provides a great deal of flexibility when it comes to tailoring the original chart to different audiences by '''showing''' and '''hiding''' various combinations of '''swimlane levels'''.
+
 
+
However, given this flexibility, there are a few '''rules''' that should be kept in mind when '''hiding''' and '''unhiding''' '''swimlanes''' in the OnePager Pro and Express Version 7.0 environment:
+
 
+
:* Selecting '''a single swimlane''' can be done at any '''swimlane level''' ('''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', '''and Left #3''') present in the chart.
+
:* Selecting '''a single swimlane''' includes all its '''member rows''' and '''all associated text column cells'''.
+
:* Selecting '''multiple swimlanes''' (regardless of the selection method used) can '''only''' be done in '''one swimlane level'''.
+
:* You have the capability to select an '''entire swimlane''' at any '''level '''or select only the '''swimlane level cell''' for that '''swimlane level''' using the '''double-left-click''' selection method.
+
:* The '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' for a selected '''swimlane''' is the same as for a selected '''swimlane level cell'''.
+
:* If a '''row''' is '''hidden''' in a '''one row swimlane''', the '''swimlane''' is '''hidden '''automatically as well as when the '''swimlane''' becomes '''empty''' when its only '''row''' is '''hidden'''.
+
:* If a '''single row swimlane''' is a member of a '''higher level swimlane''' containing only '''one row''', the '''higher level swimlane''' is also '''hidden'''.
+
:* The '''height''' of a '''swimlane''' is adjusted by OnePager whenever a member '''row''' is '''hidden''' or '''unhidden'''. 
+
:* '''Swimlane height''' adjustments can impact the chart’s '''document height''' in '''output media.'''
+
:* '''Hiding a  swimlane level''' is not the same as '''hiding a swimlane'''.  When a '''swimlane level is hidden''', all other things being equal, the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command in the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is '''disabled'''. 
+

The rules enumerated above may sound a bit complex, but experimentation should show you how they can work to support your presentation needs.
+
 
+
===Hiding a Single Swimlane===
+
 
+
To demonstrate '''hiding swimlanes''' with '''multiple swimlane levels''', we start the discussion with the baseline chart configuration shown below:
+
  
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png]]</center>
 
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png]]</center>
 
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png</center>-->
 
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(17)-07162020.png</center>-->
  
The chart shown above consists of '''three swimlane levels''' with some '''swimlanes''' possessing a '''single row''' while other '''swimlanes''' possess '''multiple rows'''.  Additionally, the chart shows '''higher level swimlanes''' with members at '''lower swimlane levels''' consisting of single and multiple '''rows'''.
+
To '''edit''' the '''value''' of an individual '''swimlane cell''', right-click the '''swimlane cell''' to access the '''context menu''' shown below:
  
The first step for '''hiding''' a '''swimlane''' is to select the single '''swimlane''' as shown in the example below:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(7)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(7)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(18-1)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
After accessing the '''context menu''', click the '''Edit swimlane label''' command shown above to access the '''Enter text''' form and its '''Enter text''' window that contains the current contents of the selected '''swimlane cell''' as shown here:
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(18-1)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
Once the '''swimlane''' is selected, right-click in the '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu''' and the '''Hide swimlane '''command as shown here:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(8)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(8)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(19-1)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
To change the contents of the selected '''swimlane cell''' using the above '''Enter text''' form, type in the desired '''text''' into the '''Enter text '''window and click the '''OK''' button when finished.
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(19-1)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
  
You have the option in the situation illustrated above to just right-click in the '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu'''. When you click the '''Hide swimlane''' command, the '''swimlane''' is '''hidden'''.
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(9)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(9)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
Because the selected '''Left#3  swimlane level cell''' is a member of single '''row''' '''Left#2 and Left#1 swimlane level cells''', these '''swimlane level cells''' are also '''hidden''' as shown here:
+
After clicking '''OK''' on the '''Enter text''' form, the selected '''swimlane cell''' remains selected and the '''text''' in the '''cell''' is changed as shown below:
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(20)-07162020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(10)-07222020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(20)-07162020.png</center>-->
+
<center> P70-12_3_1-(10)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
===Hiding Multiple Swimlanes===
+
===Editing Multiple Swimlane Cells Using the Edit text Form===
  
====Hiding Multiple Swimlanes Using the CTL+Left-Click Method====
+
Editing the '''values''' of multiple '''swimlane cells''' is similar to '''editing''' an individual '''swimlane cell''' except that more '''cells''' are selected and the change made in the '''Edit text''' form is applied to all selected '''cells'''. If we select a sequence of '''swimlane cells''' using the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''method to select the '''cells''', right-click in one of the selected '''cells''' to access the '''context menu''', and then click the '''Edit swimlane label''' command, the chart looks like this:
  
You can select '''multiple swimlanes''' using either the '''CTL+Left-Click '''or the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''methods and, once these '''swimlanes''' are selected, right-click in the selected '''swimlane level cell''' to access the '''swimlane level '''right-click '''context menu'''. Click the '''Hide swimlane''' command to '''hide''' all the selected '''rows''' as shown in the sequence below:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(11)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(11)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(21-1)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
Changing the contents of the '''Edit text''' window to '''“Planning/Development Team”''' and clicking the '''OK''' button on the form, changes the '''text''' in the selected '''swimlane cells''' as shown below:
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(21-1)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
  
When Step 5 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide swimlane''' command), the selected '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' and the chart looks like this:
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(12)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(12)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(22)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
The same results as shown above can be achieved when individual '''swimlane cells''' are selected to become a set of multiple '''swimlane cells''' using the '''CTL+Left-Click''' selection method.
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(22)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
  
The illustration above also shows that '''hiding''' a '''Left#3 swimlane '''('''Team 2''')''' '''where it is the only member of a parent '''Left#2 swimlane '''('''Development''') and the only member of the '''Left#1 swimlane '''('''Phase II''')''' hides''' the '''Left#2 and Left#1 swimlane level cells''' as well.
+
==Editing Text Column Cells or Swimlane Cells Using the Home Ribbon Tool Bar’s Controls==
  
====Hiding Multiple Swimlanes Using the SHIFT+Left-Click Method====
+
When either single or multiple '''text column cells''' or '''swimlane cells''' are selected, they can be '''edited''' in terms of their '''Font properties''' and '''text Alignment''' using the '''Font''' and '''Alignment''' control groups on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab as shown below:
  
The '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' selection method can be used to select a sequence of '''swimlanes '''if and only if the sequence of '''swimlane '''selections is in the same '''swimlane level'''.
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(13)-07222020.png]]</center>
 +
<center> P70-12_3_1-(13)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
The illustration below uses the '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method to select a sequence of '''swimlanes''' followed by a right-click in one of the selected '''swimlanes''' to access the '''swimlane '''right-click '''context menu''' and the '''Hide swimlane '''as shown in the sequence below:
+
Whenever you select a single or multiple '''cell''', the two control groups above are '''enabled''' and you can use any of the controls shown above to '''edit''' the '''text''' in the selected '''cell or cells'''.
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(23-1)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
===Editing Font Properties of Text Column Cells or Swimlane Cells===
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(23-1)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
  
When Step 3 in the above illustration is performed (clicking the '''Hide swimlane''' command), the selected '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' and the chart looks like this:
+
Using the '''edited''' multiple '''swimlane cells''' from the previous sub-section above as an example, we can decrease the '''font size''' of the selected '''cells''' as shown below:
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(14)-07222020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
<center> P70-12_3_1-(14)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
'''Hiding''' the four '''swimlanes''' in '''Left#3 swimlane levels''', reduces the '''height''' of their parent '''Left#2 swimlane levels''' and the overall chart’s '''document height.'''
+
Once the desired '''text column cells''' or '''swimlane cells''' are selected, you can use the '''Font''' control group’s buttons to '''edit''' the '''value''' to '''Bold''', ''Italics'', or [[Underline]]; increase or decrease the '''font size'''; or access the standard '''Color Chooser''' form and change the '''color''' of the '''label''' itself. When there are multiple '''text column cells''' or '''swimlane cells''' selected, the '''edit''' is applied to all selected '''text'''.
  
===Hiding Swimlanes Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Hide Swimlane Command===
+
Additionally, you can change the '''font type''' and its '''size''' by using the dropdown windows appearing above the six buttons in the control group. All these '''font properties''' are available in the '''Font properties''' form accesses by selecting a task bar/milestone symbol '''text''', time axis cell '''text''', or text within '''comment boxes''' as just a few examples.
  
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
Any '''edits''' made to '''cell labels''' using the '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s controls are applied to all selected '''text'''. The methodology described above applies as well to '''editing''' the '''Font properties '''of '''text column cell labels'''.
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
===Editing Alignment Properties of Text Column Cell Labels or Swimlane Level Cell Labels===
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
  
You can use the '''Hide swimlane''' command shown above to '''hide''' a selected '''swimlane''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking in the '''row''' you desire to '''hide''' and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Hide swimlane '''command as shown here:
+
As mentioned, when a '''text column cell''' or '''swimlane cell''' is selected, the '''Alignment '''control group on the '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab is '''enabled''' so you can change the '''position''' of the '''text''' within the selected '''cell'''. If we continue with the example from the previous sub-section, we can change the '''position''' of all the selected '''text''' to '''vertically centered''' and '''horizontally centered''' in their respective '''cells''' by clicking the '''two center buttons''' in each row of the '''Alignment '''control group as shown here:
  
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(37)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_3_1-(15)-07222020.png]]</center>
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(37)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
<center> P70-12_3_1-(15)-07222020.png</center>-->
  
In the illustration above, we highlighted the selected '''swimlane''' to make it clear which '''swimlane''' is involved.  When a right-click is made in a '''row''' of the '''graph area''', OnePager does not show the selection rectangle.  Since the intent of the illustration above is focused on the '''Hide swimlane''' command, the entire '''swimlane''' of interest is highlighted in red above.  Usually the upper right corner of the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' is placed in the selected '''row''' so you know which '''row '''and '''swimlane''' the command is going to act on.
+
All the '''swimlane cells''' selected in the chart above are '''repositioned''' so that their '''text''' is '''positioned '''in the '''center vertically and horizontally''' within the '''cell'''.
 
+
Clicking the '''Hide swimlane''' command shown above '''hides''' the '''swimlane '''of interest, all member '''rows''', and any '''text column cells''' associated with '''hidden rows'''.  If the '''hidden swimlane''' is the only '''swimlane''' in a '''higher level swimlane''', the '''higher level''' '''swimlane '''or '''swimlanes''' are also '''hidden'''.  If the '''parent swimlane''' remains after the '''Hide swimlane''' command is clicked, the remaining '''swimlanes height''' is adjusted.
+
 
+
After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed and the chart for this example looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(38)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(38)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
==Unhiding Hidden Swimlanes==
+
 
+
===Unhiding Hidden Swimlanes Using the OnePager Home Ribbon Tool Bar Tab’s Editing Control Group===
+
 
+
When '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''' in the chart and it is necessary to '''unhide''' all of them, this can be done for all '''hidden swimlanes''' by using the '''Show All Swimlanes''' command found on the OnePager '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(25)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(25)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The illustration above shows where the four '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden'''.  As shown above, to '''unhide these swimlanes''' and all their '''rows''', access the '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group, click on the '''Show/Hide''' command to access the dropdown list, and click the '''Show All Swimlanes '''command.
+
 
+
When you click the '''Show All Swimlanes '''command, '''all hidden swimlanes''' are '''unhidden '''as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(26)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(26)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In addition to the ability of the '''Show All Swimlanes '''command to '''unhide '''all '''swimlanes''', since '''hidden swimlanes''' consist of at least one '''row''', using the '''Show All Rows '''command in the OnePager '''Home '''ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing '''control group''' '''produces the same '''unhiding''' result for '''all hidden swimlanes'''.
+
 
+
===Unhiding Hidden Swimlanes Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form===
+
 
+
When you need to '''unhide '''one or more '''swimlanes''' when many '''swimlanes''' are '''hidden''', using the '''Where’s My Stuff'''?! form is a convenient tool to selectively '''unhide swimlanes'''.
+
 
+
As mentioned in the discussion of '''unhiding rows '''using the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form above at:  [[Hiding and Unhiding Rows and Swimlanes for Version 7.0#Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form | Unhiding Hidden Rows Using the Where’s My Stuff?! Form]], <!--12.13.1-70--> the form tracks '''hidden rows''' among other potentially '''hidden items''' in the chart.
+
 
+
To '''unhide hidden swimlanes''', it is therefore necessary to know and check the '''rows''' that are members of these '''hidden swimlanes''' you want to '''unhide'''.  As an example, suppose we '''hide''' the '''swimlanes''' that were '''hidden''' in the previous example above that results in this chart configuration:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(24)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
The intent of the example is to '''unhide''' those two '''Left #3 swimlanes''' that are members of the '''Integration & Testing''' '''Left#2 swimlane level''' while leaving all other '''Left #3 swimlanes''' we previously '''hid''' as '''hidden'''. 
+
 
+
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form is accessed by again using the '''Show/Hide '''dropdown list in the '''Home''' ribbon tool bar tab’s '''Editing''' control group as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(27)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(27)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When you click the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''command, the form is accessed and contains the list of task bars/milestone symbols that are associated with '''hidden rows''' as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(28)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(28)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
For more information on the utilization of the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form, please see the article at: [[Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!" for Version 7.0 | Managing Hidden Tasks and Milestones Using "Where's My Stuff?!"]] <!--9.4.1-70-->
+
 
+
For the purpose of the illustration here, suppose we want to '''unhide '''the '''Left#3 swimlane '''('''Subcontractor A - two rows''')''' '''that are members of the '''Left#2''' '''swimlane '''('''Integration & Testing''') and the '''Left#2''' '''swimlane '''('''Refactoring & Deployment'''), respectively.  The two '''grid rows''' in the '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form above are: (1) '''Created MERLIN Subcontractor Subsystem''' in the '''Left#2 swimlane '''('''Integration & Testing''') and (2) '''MERLIN Subcontractor Rework''' ('''Refactoring & Deployment''').  To do this, click the '''Select '''column checkbox '''ON''' for each of the two '''Task Names''' of interest in the form as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(29)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(29)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
Clicking the two '''Select''' column checkboxes '''ON''' as shown above, tells OnePager that you want OnePager to '''fix the selected '''issue in the '''selected grid row''' of the form.  To take this action, click the '''Fix Selected '''button shown in the form above and OnePager '''unhides''' to two identified '''Task Names''' and their '''rows''' to the chart as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(30)-07172020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(30)-07172020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
After the actions are taken, the '''unhidden rows''' are shown along with the '''Left#3 swimlane level cells.''' The task bars in the '''unhidden rows '''remain selected (Not visible in the above illustration). 
+
 
+
The '''Where’s My Stuff?! '''form’s '''grid rows''' are '''updated''' to show the actions taken and a list of actions taken and their status is displayed in the form below the '''grid''' shown above.  The form remains open so you can take any additional '''fix actions'''.  If none are required, click the '''Close '''button to return to the '''Chart Editor'''.
+
 
+
===Unhiding Swimlanes Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Unhide All Swimlane Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(35)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
You can use the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command shown above to '''unhide''' all '''swimlanes''' in the '''graph''' by first right-clicking '''anywhere''' in the '''graph area '''and, when the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is accessed, click the '''Unhide all swimlanes '''command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(40)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(40)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the illustration above, the position of a '''hidden swimlanes''' is shown by the red arrow.  When a right-click is made in the '''graph area''', OnePager accesses the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' at the location near the right-click.  Clicking the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command shown above '''unhides''' the all '''swimlanes hidden''' in the chart, all '''hidden rows''' within those '''unhidden swimlanes''', and any '''text column cells''' associated with them.  '''Parent swimlane''' that are '''unhidden''' have their '''swimlane heights''' adjusted.
+
 
+
Depending on the '''rows''' contained in the '''unhidden swimlanes''', the '''document height''' is also adjusted in '''output media'''.  After the command’s action is completed, the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is closed and the chart looks like this:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_11_1-(2)-07102020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When '''swimlane levels''' are '''hidden''' in the chart, the '''Unhide all swimlanes''' command is '''disabled'''.
+
 
+
For more information on '''hiding and unhiding swimlane levels''', please see the article at:  [[Manually Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels for Version 7.0 | Manually Hiding and Unhiding Swimlane Levels]] <!--12.5.1-70-->
+
 
+
===Using the Open Space Right-Click Context Menu’s Show Swimlane Labels Command===
+
 
+
The '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''', which is accessible only in the '''graph area''', contains a number of commands that can be used to '''edit rows''', '''swimlanes''', '''text columns''', '''swimlane level cell labels''', '''time axis components in the graph''', and other convenient functions as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(45)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(45)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
In the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''', the '''Show swimlane labels''' command, which is a '''toggle-type''' command, is '''toggled''' '''OFF'''.  The '''default setting''' for the '''Show swimlane labels '''command is '''toggled ON'''.
+
 
+
As a result, if any '''swimlane levels''' were present in the chart, they are no longer visible as shown below:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(46)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(46)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
To make all '''swimlane level cell labels '''visible in the chart, right-click anywhere in '''open space '''to access the '''open space''' right-click '''context menu''' and click the '''Show swimlane labels''' command as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(47)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(47)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
When the '''Show swimlane labels '''command is '''toggled ON''', the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu '''closes and any '''enabled''' '''swimlane level cell labels''' are displayed in the chart.
+
 
+
The '''Show swimlane labels '''command is not '''enabled '''in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' if no '''swimlane levels '''are set to be displayed because they are not '''enabled''' in the '''Chart Properties '''form’s '''Rows/Swimlanes '''tab as shown here:
+
 
+
<center>[[File:P70-12_13_1-(48)-07192020.png]]</center>
+
<!--<center>P70-12_13_1-(48)-07192020.png</center>-->
+
 
+
If '''swimlane levels''' are '''hidden '''by unchecking their respective '''Label by''' checkbox in their '''Swimlane Formatting – Left # n''' form, the '''Show swimlane labels '''command in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is '''toggled OFF'''.  In this case, '''toggling '''the '''Show swimlane labels''' command '''ON''', does result in all '''enabled swimlane levels''' becoming visible in the chart if their '''Group by''' checkbox was previously checked '''ON'''.  As a result of the above two cases, whenever one or more '''swimlane levels '''are '''enabled''' in the form above, the '''Show swimlane labels '''command in the '''open space '''right-click '''context menu''' is '''toggled ON'''.

Overview

When text column cells and swimlane cells appear in the chart their contents are determined by data imported from your Microsoft Project or Microsoft Excel source plan. It may be necessary on occasion to edit the contents of these cells to support your schedule presentation goals and objectives.

It is not necessary to go back to your source plan and change the data and re-import that data to change text column cells or swimlane cells; changes can be made to individual or a set of selected cells in the Chart Editor. Within the Chart Editor, you can use the text column right-click context menu’s Edit text and Properties … commands or the swimlane level right-click context menu’s Edit swimlane label and Properties … commands to edit labels as well as other label properties.

For more information on using the text column cell label or swimlane level cell label properties, please see the articles at:

Editing Row Properties
Editing Row Swimlane Properties

In addition to editing text column cells and swimlane cells using the right-click context menu commands, you can edit Font properties and Alignment settings of text column cells and swimlane cells using controls on the OnePager Home ribbon tool bar tab’s Font and Alignment control groups. Since being able to edit requires first selecting the cells to edit, it may be beneficial to review the sections on selection methods for text column cells and swimlane cells at: Selection Methods Available for Multiple Text Columns and Selection Methods Available for Multiple Swimlane Levels

Whenever you make a change to a text column cell or swimlane cell, the edited cell becomes a maverick.

Editing Text Column Cells

Editing Individual Text Column Cells Using the Edit text Form

For the purpose of illustration, we’ll use the OnePager Pro chart below containing three swimlane levels and two text columns:

P70-12 13 1-(17)-07162020.png

To edit the value of an individual text column cell, right-click the text column cell to access the text column right-click context menu shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(1)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(1)-07222020.png
-->

After accessing the text column right-click context menu, click the Edit text command shown above to access the Enter text form and its Enter text window that contains the current contents of the selected text column cell as shown here:

P70-12 3 1-(2)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(2)-07222020.png
-->

To change the contents of the selected text column cell using the above Enter text form, type in the desired text into the Enter text window and click the OK button when finished.

P70-12 3 1-(3)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(3)-07222020.png
-->

After clicking OK button on the Enter text form, the selected text column cell remains selected and the text in the cell is changed as shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(4)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(4)-07222020.png
-->

Editing Multiple Text Column Cells Using the Edit text Form

Editing the cells of multiple text columns is similar to editing an individual cell except that more cells are selected and the change made in the Edit text form’s window is applied to all selected cells. If we select a sequence of text column cells using the SHIFT+Left-Click method to select the cells, right-click in one of the selected cells to access the text column right-click context menu, and then click the Edit text command, the chart looks like this:

P70-12 3 1-(5)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(5)-07222020.png
-->

Changing the text in the Edit text window to “Started” and clicking the OK button on the form, changes the text in the selected text column cells as shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(6)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(6)-07222020.png
-->

The same results as shown above can be achieved when individual text column cells are selected to become a set of multiple text column cells using the CTL+Left-Click selection method.

Editing Swimlane Cells

1) In the illustrations above for editing text column cells, you are able to select individual text column or multiple text column cells and use the Edit text form to change the selected cell values. The same process can be used for changing the values for individual swimlane cells or multiple swimlane cells depending on the selection method you use. The examples that follow illustrate how you can change individual and multiple swimlane cells in the chart.

Editing Individual Swimlane Level Cell Labels Using the Edit text Form

For the purpose of illustration, we’ll use the same OnePager Pro chart below containing three swimlane levels and two text columns:

P70-12 13 1-(17)-07162020.png

To edit the value of an individual swimlane cell, right-click the swimlane cell to access the context menu shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(7)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(7)-07222020.png
-->

After accessing the context menu, click the Edit swimlane label command shown above to access the Enter text form and its Enter text window that contains the current contents of the selected swimlane cell as shown here:

P70-12 3 1-(8)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(8)-07222020.png
-->

To change the contents of the selected swimlane cell using the above Enter text form, type in the desired text into the Enter text window and click the OK button when finished.

P70-12 3 1-(9)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(9)-07222020.png
-->

After clicking OK on the Enter text form, the selected swimlane cell remains selected and the text in the cell is changed as shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(10)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(10)-07222020.png
-->

Editing Multiple Swimlane Cells Using the Edit text Form

Editing the values of multiple swimlane cells is similar to editing an individual swimlane cell except that more cells are selected and the change made in the Edit text form is applied to all selected cells. If we select a sequence of swimlane cells using the SHIFT+Left-Click method to select the cells, right-click in one of the selected cells to access the context menu, and then click the Edit swimlane label command, the chart looks like this:

P70-12 3 1-(11)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(11)-07222020.png
-->

Changing the contents of the Edit text window to “Planning/Development Team” and clicking the OK button on the form, changes the text in the selected swimlane cells as shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(12)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(12)-07222020.png
-->

The same results as shown above can be achieved when individual swimlane cells are selected to become a set of multiple swimlane cells using the CTL+Left-Click selection method.

Editing Text Column Cells or Swimlane Cells Using the Home Ribbon Tool Bar’s Controls

When either single or multiple text column cells or swimlane cells are selected, they can be edited in terms of their Font properties and text Alignment using the Font and Alignment control groups on the OnePager Home ribbon tool bar tab as shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(13)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(13)-07222020.png
-->

Whenever you select a single or multiple cell, the two control groups above are enabled and you can use any of the controls shown above to edit the text in the selected cell or cells.

Editing Font Properties of Text Column Cells or Swimlane Cells

Using the edited multiple swimlane cells from the previous sub-section above as an example, we can decrease the font size of the selected cells as shown below:

P70-12 3 1-(14)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(14)-07222020.png
-->

Once the desired text column cells or swimlane cells are selected, you can use the Font control group’s buttons to edit the value to Bold, Italics, or Underline; increase or decrease the font size; or access the standard Color Chooser form and change the color of the label itself. When there are multiple text column cells or swimlane cells selected, the edit is applied to all selected text.

Additionally, you can change the font type and its size by using the dropdown windows appearing above the six buttons in the control group. All these font properties are available in the Font properties form accesses by selecting a task bar/milestone symbol text, time axis cell text, or text within comment boxes as just a few examples.

Any edits made to cell labels using the Home ribbon tool bar tab’s controls are applied to all selected text. The methodology described above applies as well to editing the Font properties of text column cell labels.

Editing Alignment Properties of Text Column Cell Labels or Swimlane Level Cell Labels

As mentioned, when a text column cell or swimlane cell is selected, the Alignment control group on the Home ribbon tool bar tab is enabled so you can change the position of the text within the selected cell. If we continue with the example from the previous sub-section, we can change the position of all the selected text to vertically centered and horizontally centered in their respective cells by clicking the two center buttons in each row of the Alignment control group as shown here:

P70-12 3 1-(15)-07222020.png
P70-12_3_1-(15)-07222020.png
-->

All the swimlane cells selected in the chart above are repositioned so that their text is positioned in the center vertically and horizontally within the cell.
