Overview

In addition to defining row and text column properties in the Template and in the Chart Properties form, you can select a specific row or text column cell and individually edit its properties. To do this, use your mouse to select a row or a text column cell with a right-click to access the text column right-click context menu as shown below:

In the illustration above, the Left#1 text column cell is right-clicked to select the row and the Left#1 text column cell and to access the text column right-click context menu. Clicking the Properties … command accesses the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab shown below:

As an alternative, use the slow left-click selection method to select just the Left#1 text column cell, right-click to access the text column right-click context menu, and click the Properties … command where the Row/Column Properties form is accessed at the Cell tab as shown here:

Either method in the above two illustrations allows you to access either tab of the Row/Column Properties form. The access methods described above in general terms for OnePager Pro applies to OnePager Express as well. Any edits made to a row or a text column cell using the Row/Column Properties form’s controls makes the row and/or text column cell a maverick.

In the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab you can edit the border properties of the selected row, edit the selected text column cell’s background color (as described later on), and use the Use Default Row Properties button to revert any maverick rows back to their default settings. Multiple rows and text column cells can be selected and edited using the controls in the Row/Column Properties form.

When selecting multiple rows or text column cells, OnePager does allow selections in different text columns. This is different from attempting to make multiple selections swimlanes or swimlane level cells in different swimlane levels. Multiple row and text column cell selections can be made using the CTL+Left-Click method to select any text column cell defined and showing in the chart. Attempting to use the SHIFT+Left-Click method to select a sequence of text column cells in different text columns is not supported. Once you start a SHIFT+Left-Click selection in a text column you must continue the sequence of selections in that same text column.

This article describes the use of the Row/Column Properties form for the situations where one or multiple rows or text column cells are selected.

The next section covers the various methods for selecting rows for editing.

If you are comfortable with these selection techniques, you can jump to the article sections at the link where the controls in the Row/Column Properties form’s tabs are discussed: Editing Row Properties with the Row/Column Properties Form’s Row Tab

Accessing Rows for Editing Rows and Text Column Cells

It may be necessary to edit the properties of a text column cell or set of text column cells for the purpose of highlighting them for your schedule discussion presentation. This can be done by selecting the desired text column cell or cells using the appropriate mouse left-click and/or right-click combination selection methods to access the text column right-click context menu and its Properties … command shown here:

This sub-section covers accessing the Row/Column Properties form using the available selection methods for rows and text column cells.

For more information on the selection methods available for rows and text column cells, please see the article and sub-section at: Selection Methods Available for Multiple Text Columns

Accessing the Row/Column Properties Form – Single Row and Single Text Column Cell Selection

Clicking the Properties … command when a row is selected accesses the Row/Column Properties form at the Row tab shown here:

The editing controls available in the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab are applied to all selected rows when the form’s OK button is clicked.

Accessing a Single Row

Using the above illustration as an example, the single row can be accessed as shown below:

Once accessed, any edits applied to the Row may be applied to all text column cells defined and showing and the row portion extending into the graph. For example, if the Left#1 text column cell is used to access the Row/Column Properties form, changing the Row Background Color applies to the Left#1 and Left#2 text column cells as these text column cells are in the same row from the form’s perspective. The portion of the row in the graph area also takes on the selected row background color.

Making such an edit to change the Row Background Color to red changes the configuration of the chart to look like this:

Regardless of which of the two text column cells is initially selected in the above illustration, the result shown above is the same. This is because text columns are not organized into levels as are swimlanes but remain a component of the row.

Accessing a Single Text Column Cell

Clicking the Properties … command when a single text column cell is selected accesses the Row/Column Properties form at the Cell tab shown here:

Use the slow left-click selection method to select an individual text column cell and follow the selection action with the method described above to access the Row/Column Properties form at the Cell tab as shown here:

When a single text column cell is selected with the slow left-click method and the Row/Column Properties form is accessed at the Cell tab and the same edit as shown above is applied, only the Left#1 text column cell has its Cell Background Color changed to red as shown below:

Accessing the Row/Column Properties Form – Multiple Row and Text Column Cell Selection

You can select multiple swimlanes or multiple swimlane level cells as long as they are at the same swimlane level. However, no such restriction applies for selecting multiple text column cells in different text columns. The CTL+Left-Click or SHIFT+Left-Click selection techniques can be used to select multiple rows or multiple text column cells for editing using the Row/Column Properties form’s Row or Cell tabs.

For more information on the selection methods available for selecting multiple rows or multiple text column cells, please see the article and sub-section at: Selection Methods Available for Multiple Text Columns

CTL+Left-Click Method Used to Select Multiple Individual Rows

Multiple rows can be edited with the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab as demonstrated below using the access method previously described:

Edits made in the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab are applied to all selected rows. Using the CTL+Left-Click is effective in selecting rows when done in either of the two text columns shown in the illustration above.

SHIFT+Left-Click Method Used to Select Multiple Sequential Rows

Use SHIFT+Left-Click method to select a sequence of rows for editing with the Row/Column Properties form as shown here:

Edits made in the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab are applied to all selected rows.

Using Slow Left-Click and CTL+Left-Click Methods to Select Multiple Individual Text Column Cells

Use the slow left-click method in conjunction with the CTL+Left-Click method to select individual text column cells in the same or different text column. The method involves first getting the mouse device into the slow left-click mode and then using the CTL+Left-Click method to select the desired individual text column cells as shown below:

The illustration above purposely shows text column cells selected with the slow left-click method in both the Left#1 and Left#2 text columns. Note that the text column number showing the Text Column control group heading of the above form indicates that the Left#1 Cell Properties are the primary focus of the form. This is because in the illustration above, the right-click used to access the text column right-click context menu is made in the last Left#1 text column cell. Although you can select text column cells in any text column defined and showing in the chart, the edits only apply to those text column cells in the text column number showing in the form.

Once the several individual text column cells are selected, as shown above, a right-click in the last Left#1 selected text column cell accesses the text column right-click context menu. Clicking the Properties … command accesses the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell tab for the Left#1 Cell Properties where any edits that are made to the controls at the Cell tab apply to all selected individual Left#1 text column cells.

For example, we can change the Cell Background Color to red for the selected individual Left#1 text column cells by using the standard OnePager Color Chooser form as shown below:

As specified, all selected rows have their text column cells edited such that their Cell Background Color is red. After closing the Row/Column Properties form, the chart looks like this:

Using Slow Left-Click and SHIFT+Left-Click Methods to Select a Sequence of Text Column Cells

Use the slow left-click method in conjunction with the SHIFT+Left-Click method to access a sequence of text column cells in the same text column. The method involves first getting the mouse device into the slow left-click mode and then using the SHIFT+Left-Click method to select the desired sequence of text column cells as shown below:

Once the sequence of text column cells are selected, as shown above, a right-click in the last selected text column cell accesses the text column right-click context menu. Clicking the Properties … command accesses the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell tab for the Left#1 Cell Properties where any edits that are made to the controls at the Cell tab apply to all selected individual Left#1 text column cells.

For this example, we can change the Cell Background Color to red for the selected sequence of Left#1 text column cells by using the standard OnePager Color Chooser form as shown below:

Editing Row Properties with the Row/Column Properties Form’s Row Tab

The Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab is shown below:

Requirements for Editing Row Borders

In order to edit row borders using the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab, the Show Row Borders checkbox in the Row Formatting form, accessed from the Chart Properties or Template Properties form’s Rows/Swimlanes tab’s Rows control group must be checked ON as shown below:

If you intend to maverick some row borders but not all row borders, row borders can be hidden by accessing the Row Formatting form as shown above, then accessing the standard OnePager Color Chooser form, and setting the color for row borders to No fill as shown here:

When these actions are taken, the row borders in the chart are reconfigured to look like this:

To further de-emphasize row borders, you have the option of removing the row striping using the controls in the Chart Properties or Template Properties form’s Main tab’s Chart Background control group. Additionally, if desired, you can remove all row borders from the chart which is the starting condition that is used below to demonstrate the mavericking of row borders using the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab.

Manually Editing Row Properties with the Row/Column Properties form’s Row Tab

There are three control groups on this form for:

1) Border,

2) Row Background Color,

3) Use Default Row Properties button.

There are three sub-control groups in the Border control group shown at the top of this section. You have control over the selected row’s Border type, Top border and Bottom border colors, the Line width of the top and bottom border lines, and the Dash type for the top and bottom border lines.

Border Types for Row Borders

There are four border types available for use in the form. For the selected row or rows there are options for turning ON both the top and bottom borders, either the top or the bottom borders ON, or neither top nor bottom border ON. Any changes made to the global setting of row borders make the row or rows into a maverick.

Mavericking Border Types for Row Borders - Example

To provide an example, the sample BlueGrass Project Plan Report – Pro chart is modified globally to remove all row and swimlane borders as shown below:

Recall that the Show row borders checkbox in the Row Formatting form referenced in the previous sub-section above, must be checked ON.

In the illustration that follows, we’ll maverick row borders as follows:

The row with the Create Working Plans task bar is updated so its bottom border is turned ON with line size 2.0, Color Black, Dash type – Dot.
The row with the Engineering Team 1 Development task bar is updated so its top border is turned ON with line size 3.0, Color Red, and Dash type – Dash-dot-dot.
The row with the Engineering Team 1 Rework is updated so that its top and bottom borders are turned ON with line size 3.5, Color Blue, and Dash type – Solid.

When these maverick changes are applied to the individual elements mentioned above using the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab, the chart is modified to look like this:

Manually Editing Row Background Colors with the Row/Column Properties form’s Rows Tab

The standard OnePager Color Chooser form is used the change the background color of the selected row or rows. Recall that with text columns in the chart, changing the background color for a Left#1 text column cell propagates the color change to the Left#2 text column cells (if present) and into the row itself as shown in the sequence below:

When the OK button is clicked on the Row/Column Properties form, the configuration of the chart is changed to this:

When the selected row is de-selected, the chart looks like this:

Manually Editing Text Column’s Background Colors with the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab

Using the Row/Column Properties form’s Row tab’s Row Background Color control, changes the entire row to the new row background color. If you want to select a Left#1 text column cell and change just the Left#1 text column cell’s background color you must access the Row/Column Properties form at the Cell tab. This can be done by using the slow left-click selection method to just select the Left#1 text column cell or use a standard selection method on the Left#1 text column cell to access the Row/Column Properties form at the Row tab and simply click the Cell tab as shown below:

When the OK button on the Row/Column Properties form is clicked and the Left#1 text column cell is de-selected, the chart looks like this:

The procedure for changing the properties of the chart portion of the swimlane (i.e., to the right of the text columns) is explained in the Editing Swimlane Properties article at: Editing Swimlane Properties

The Use Default Row Properties Button in the Row/Column Properties form’s Row Tab

The purpose of the Use Default Row Properties button is to restore the selected row or row’s properties to the settings in the current Chart Properties form or Template Properties form. This is done by first selecting the row or rows that you want to restore, accessing the Row/Column Properties form at the Row tab and clicking the Use Default Row Properties button.

Note that the Use Default Row Properties button is enabled whenever a change is made to a row or row’s properties. As an example, suppose we start with the chart configuration where we mavericked a row by giving it a background color of red as shown below:

If we now select one of the row’s text column cells and access the Row/Column Properties form the chart shows the illustration below:

When the Use Default Row Properties form is clicked and the form is closed by clicking the OK button, the chart’s configuration changes to that shown below:

Editing Text Column Cell Properties with the Row/Column Properties Form’s Cell Tab

The Row/Column Properties form’s Cell tab looks like this:

The properties that can be edited in this tab include:

The text within the selected text column cell,
The text’s font properties,
The horizontal and vertical alignment of the text within the text column cell or cells,
The cell’s background color,
And the rotation of the text column cell’s text.

Additionally, there is a Use Default Cell Properties button that can be used to restore any mavericked text column cell’s properties back to the global settings in the Chart Properties or Template Properties forms. Several of these controls such as the Text window, the Font control dropdown that accesses the Font properties form, and the two sets of three Alignment buttons are standard within OnePager. These controls perform the same editing functions as when used for editing the properties of text elements for graphic objects such as task bars/milestone symbols, comment boxes, time axis level cells, and vertical curtains.

Extensive examples are not provided here for the above mentioned controls.

Please reference the links in the related links section at: Related Links

Rather, the remaining focus in this sub-section is on the Cell Background Color control, the Text Rotation control, and the Use Default Cell Properties button.

Manually Editing Text Column Cell Background Colors with the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab

Manually editing a selected text column cell or cells for background color requires that the text column cell or cells be individually selected with one of the appropriate cell selection methods. When the text column cell or cells are selected and the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell tab is accessed, then the standard OnePager Color Chooser form can be accessed by clicking on the Cell Background Color dropdown as shown below:

When the OK button on the Row/Column Properties form is clicked, the three selected Left#1 text column cells are reconfigured as shown here:

Recall that text column cell mavericking can only be done in the same text column so that selecting cells in different text columns to change their background colors for must be done on an individual text column basis.

Manually Editing Text Column Cell’s Text Rotation with the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab

The Row/Column Properties form’s Cell tab’s Text Rotation control provides three different orientation of text contained within a selected text column cell or cells. You have the option to rotate text column cell text horizontally (the typical default setting), rotate text column cell text 90 degrees clockwise, and rotate text column cell text 270 degrees clockwise. The dropdown list for the Text Rotation control in the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell tab looks like this:

As an example, we can rotate the text 90 degrees in the Left#1 text column cell in the row containing the Create Work Plans task bar to get the configuration of text within the cell shown below:

In the illustration above, the height of the row is increased to show the rotated text as a single string.

Text column cell text rotation is sometimes useful in order to help decrease the width of a text column and allow more horizontal space for the chart itself.

The Use Default Cell Properties Button in the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab

The purpose of the Use Default Cell Properties button is to restore the selected text column cell or cell’s properties to the settings in the current Chart Properties form or Template Properties form. This is done by first selecting the text column cell or cells that you want to restore, accessing the Row/Column Properties form at the Cell tab, and clicking the Use Default Cell Properties button. Note that the Use Default Cell Properties button is enabled whenever a change is made to a text column cell or cell’s properties at a cell level.

As an example, suppose we start with the chart configuration where we mavericked the Left#1 text column cell to have a background color of red as shown below:

If we now select this Left#1 text column cell and access the Row/Column Properties form at the Cell tab, the chart shows the illustration below:

When the Use Default Cell Properties form is clicked and the form is closed by clicking the OK button, the chart’s configuration changes to that shown below:

-Like '''making each''' '''row into a swimlane''', there may be several good reasons to '''merge two or more''' '''swimlanes '''into a '''single swimlane''' at the various '''swimlane levels'''.   This may be to consolidate like sets of '''swimlanes''' with their member '''rows''' into a '''single swimlane level cell''' or to '''reposition''' like '''swimlane level cells''' to a different '''position''' in the chart.
+In addition to '''defining row''' and '''text column''' properties in the '''Template''' and in the '''Chart Properties''' form, you can select a specific '''row''' or '''text column cell''' and individually '''edit''' its '''properties'''.  To do this, use your mouse to select a '''row''' or a '''text column cell''' with a right-click to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' as shown below:
-The command, '''Merge swimlane''', is in the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(1)-08142020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(1)-08142020.png</center>-->
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(1)-08072020.png]]</center>
+In the illustration above, the '''Left#1 text column cell''' is right-clicked to select the '''row''' and the '''Left#1 text column cell''' and to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu'''.  Clicking the '''Properties …''' command accesses the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab shown below:
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(1)-08072020.png</center>-->
-In order to use the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''', the chart must have at least '''one swimlane level defined''' and '''showing''' and two or more '''swimlanes''' of interest must be selected in the '''same swimlane level'''.
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(2)-08142020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(2)-08142020.png </center>-->
-The '''Merge swimlane '''command is '''disabled''' when the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu''' is accessed and only one''' swimlane level cell '''is '''defined''' and''' showing''' in the chart as illustrated below where the '''Left#1 swimlane level''' is '''defined '''and '''shown''':
+As an alternative, use the '''slow left-click selection''' method to select just the '''Left#1 text column cell''', right-click to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''', and click the '''Properties …''' command where the '''Row/Column Properties''' form is accessed at the '''Cell''' tab as shown here:

-The '''Merge swimlanes''' command is '''enabled''' when '''two or more swimlane level cells''' are selected as shown below:
+Either method in the above two illustrations allows you to access either tab of the '''Row/Column Properties''' form.  The access methods described above in general terms for OnePager Pro applies to OnePager Express as well.  Any '''edits''' made to a '''row''' or a '''text column cell''' using the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s controls makes the '''row''' and/or '''text column cell''' a '''maverick'''.
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(3)-08072020.png]]</center>
+In the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab you can '''edit '''the '''border properties''' of the selected '''row''', '''edit '''the selected '''text column cell’s background color''' (as described later on), and use the '''Use Default Row Properties''' button to revert any '''maverick rows''' back to their '''default settings'''.  '''Multiple rows''' and '''text column cells''' can be selected and '''edited''' using the controls in the '''Row/Column Properties''' form.
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(3)-08072020.png</center>-->
-Since you can configure OnePager charts with up to three '''swimlane levels''', how '''swimlane level cells''' are '''merged''' depends on the membership of the selected '''swimlane level cells''' in the '''swimlane levels''' '''defined''' in the chart.
+When selecting '''multiple rows''' or '''text column cells''', OnePager '''does allow''' selections in '''different text columns'''.  This is different from attempting to make '''multiple selections swimlanes''' or '''swimlane level cells''' in '''different swimlane levels'''. '''Multiple row''' and '''text column cell''' selections can be made using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method to select any '''text column cell defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart. Attempting to use the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''method to select '''a sequence of text column cells''' in '''different text columns''' is not supported.  Once you start a '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' selection in a '''text column''' you must continue the '''sequence''' of selections in that '''same text column'''.
-This article discusses the '''various possible configurations '''for selected '''swimlane level cells''' and how the '''Merge swimlane '''command produces a consistent result in terms of the configuration of the '''new merged swimlane''', its resulting '''position''' in the chart, and the '''labels''' assigned to the '''new merged swimlane level cell'''.
+This article describes the use of the '''Row/Column Properties''' form for the situations where '''one''' or '''multiple rows''' or '''text column cells''' are selected.
-Depending on the original configuration of the chart and the number of '''swimlane levels''' '''defined''' and '''showing''', the results of applying the '''Merge swimlane '''command follows a consistent pattern discussed in this article.  As an example, we can start by illustrating the results from '''merging swimlane level cells from the Left#3 swimlane level '''in the sequence shown below.
+The next section covers the various methods for selecting '''rows''' for '''editing'''.
-:1) Start by selecting the top two '''swimlane level cells''' in the illustration below where these selected '''two swimlane level cells''' are members of all '''three defined '''and '''shown swimlane levels'''.

+This sub-section covers accessing the '''Row/Column Properties''' form using the available selection methods for '''rows '''and''' text column cells'''.
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(5)-08072020.png</center>-->
-The end result in the illustration above is the creation of a '''new merged Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' positioned in the same place as the '''original Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell '''with the '''new merged swimlane level cell '''displaying the '''label''' of the '''original Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell’s label'''.
+For more information on the '''selection methods available for rows and text column cells''', please see the article and sub-section 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-->
-'''Swimlane level cells''' can be '''merged '''at the '''any swimlane level'''. In the illustration above, the '''lowest swimlane level is Left#3'''.
+===Accessing the Row/Column Properties Form – Single Row and Single Text Column Cell Selection===
-:* In the illustration above the two participating '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' selected are not members of the '''same Left#2''' or '''Left#1 swimlane level cells'''.
+Clicking the '''Properties …''' command when a '''row''' is selected accesses the '''Row/Column Propertie'''s form at the '''Row''' tab shown here:
-:* As shown in the illustration above, the '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' retains its membership in its '''original Left#2 '''and''' Left#1 swimlane level cells''' because the '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' contained '''four rows''' while the '''Team 1 Left#3 swimlane level cell''' contained just '''one row'''.
-:* OnePager attempts to assign the '''merged swimlane’s label''' at a '''lower swimlane level''' to its '''original higher level swimlanes '''('''Left#1 '''and''' Left#2''') based on the '''modal''' selected '''swimlane level cell''' determined by the '''highest number of row'''.  In this case, the '''modal Left#3 swimlane level cell''' was the '''Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' because it has '''four member rows'''.
-:* When OnePager cannot exactly determine a '''modal swimlane level cell''', the '''label''' assigned to the resulting '''merged swimlane level cell''' is made at '''random''' using the participating selected '''swimlane level cells'''.
-Multiple '''swimlanes''' can be selected and the '''Merge swimlane '''command used to create a '''new merged swimlane'''.   When selecting '''swimlane level cells''', OnePager only allows selection in the '''same swimlane level'''.

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(5)-08142020.png </center>-->
-==Merging Swimlanes – One Swimlane Level Chart==
+The '''editing '''controls available in the '''Row/Column Properties '''form’s '''Row '''tab are applied to all selected '''rows''' when the form’s '''OK '''button is clicked.
-To better illustrate how the '''merge swimlane '''command operates in the '''multiple swimlane level environment''', we start with the situation where one '''swimlane level''' is '''defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart.  In the sub-sections that follow, we start with the '''Left#1 swimlane level defined '''and '''showing''' as the simplest case and proceed step-wise to demonstrated OnePager’s '''Merge swimlane''' command when there are '''two '''and''' '''then''' three swimlane levels defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart.
+====Accessing a Single Row====
-===Merging Swimlanes from Left#1 Swimlane Level Cells – One Swimlane Level Chart===
+Using the above illustration as an example, the '''single row '''can be accessed as shown below:
-'''Merging swimlanes''' can be illustrated in the '''one swimlane level''' chart shown here as a starting point:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(6)-08142020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(6)-08142020.png </center>-->

+Once accessed, any '''edits''' applied to the '''Row''' may be applied to '''all text column cells defined''' and '''showing''' and the '''row''' portion extending into the '''graph'''.  For example, if the '''Left#1 text column cell''' is used to access the '''Row/Column Properties''' form, changing the '''Row Background Color''' applies to the '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2''' '''text column cells''' as these '''text column cells''' are in the same '''row '''from the form’s perspective.  The portion of the '''row''' in the '''graph area''' also takes on the selected '''row background color'''.

-Suppose you want to take the '''Startup swimlane''' and '''merge '''it with the '''Phase II swimlane'''.  To do this, select the '''Startup '''and '''Phase II swimlanes''' using the '''CTL+Left-Click''' method, right-click in one of the selected '''swimlane level cells''' to access the '''swimlane level''' right-click '''context menu, '''and prepare to click the '''Merge swimlane '''command as shown below:
+Making such an '''edit''' to change the '''Row Background Color''' to '''red''' changes the configuration of the chart to look like this:

+====Accessing a Single Text Column Cell====
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(7)-08072020.png</center>-->
-When selected '''swimlanes''' are '''merged''' within an existing '''swimlane level cell''', OnePager places the '''new merged swimlane '''in close proximity to the original selected '''modal swimlane level cell''' to avoid major reconfiguration of the chart.  OnePager assumes that the reason for '''merging swimlanes''' is that, in most schedule presentation situations, the '''new merged swimlanes''' will be '''re-positioned''' elsewhere in the chart and potentially the '''new merged swimlane level cell label''' will be '''edited'''.  As a result, you have the option to retain the '''new merged swimlane''' in the OnePager designated '''position''' or '''move''' the '''new merged swimlane '''using the '''drag and drop''' method to a different '''position''' in the chart.
+Clicking the '''Properties …''' command when a single '''text column cell''' is selected accesses the '''Row/Column Properties''' form at the '''Cell''' tab shown here:

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(8)-08142020.png </center>-->
-Once the '''new merged swimlane''' is created containing the selected original '''swimlanes''' shown above, the '''new merged swimlane''' can be '''edited''' the same as any other '''swimlane''' in the chart.  '''Edits''' can include changing the '''label''' in the '''Left#1 swimlane level cell''', '''dragging and dropping''' the '''new merged swimlane''' to another '''position''' in the chart, or changing its '''background color''' in some fashion.
+Use the '''slow left-click selection method''' to select an individual '''text column cell''' and follow the selection action with the method described above to access the '''Row/Column Properties '''form at the '''Cell''' tab as shown here:
-For more information on '''editing rows and swimlanes''', please see the two articles at: [[Editing Row Properties for Version 7.0 | Editing Row Properties]] <!--12.22.1-70--> and [[Editing Swimlane Properties for Version 7.0 | Editing Swimlane Properties]] <!--12.23.1-70-->

-'''Note''' that in the above example, the '''Phase I Left#1 swimlane level cell''' originally resided between the '''Startup '''and''' Phase II Left#1 swimlane level cells'''.   Since the '''Phase I Left#1 swimlane level cell''' did not participate in the '''merge swimlanes''' operation, OnePager, in this example, pulled the '''merging swimlanes''' together keeping the '''order''' of the '''rows''' as intact as possible.   This resulted in '''moving''' the '''Startup Left#1 swimlane level cells''' and its '''row''' down to the above the '''Phase II Left#1 swimlane level cell'''.   The result is that the '''Phase I Left#1 swimlane level cell''' now appears at the top of the chart.
+When a '''single text column cell''' is selected with the '''slow left-click method''' and the '''Row/Column Properties''' form is accessed at the '''Cell '''tab and the same '''edit''' as shown above is applied, only the '''Left#1 text column cell''' has its '''Cell Background Color''' changed to '''red''' as shown below:

-Whenever there is only '''one swimlane level defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart, regardless of whether it is '''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', or '''Left#3 swimlane level''', the example provided above in the previous sub-section applies.
+===Accessing the Row/Column Properties Form – Multiple Row and Text Column Cell Selection===
-==Merging Swimlanes – Two Swimlane Level Chart==
+You can select '''multiple swimlanes''' or '''multiple swimlane level cells''' as long as they are at the same '''swimlane level'''.  However, no such restriction applies for selecting '''multiple text column cells''' in '''different text columns'''.  The '''CTL+Left-Click '''or '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''selection techniques can be used to select '''multiple rows''' or '''multiple text column cells''' for '''editing''' using the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row '''or''' Cell''' tabs.
-In the sub-sections that follow, we add the '''Left#2 swimlane level''' to the already present '''Left#1 swimlane level'''.  Adding the '''Left#2 swimlane level''' to the original chart gives us a chart with this configuration:

-===Merging Swimlane from the Left#1 Swimlane Level Cells – Two Swimlane Level Chart===
+'''Multiple rows''' can be '''edited '''with the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab as demonstrated below using the access method previously described:
-In a chart with '''two swimlane levels''' where the '''Left#1 swimlane level''' is the '''highest level swimlane''' (left-most '''swimlane level'''), the results from '''merging swimlanes''' in this case is the same as in the '''one swimlane level '''chart explained in the previous section.  The '''rows''' in the selected '''Left#1 swimlane level cells''' are '''merged''' into '''one swimlane level cell''' and the '''new merged Left#2 swimlane level cell’s label''' is based on the '''modal number of rows''' in the various participating original selected '''Left#1 swimlane level cells'''.

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(10)-08142020.png</center>-->
-Using an adaptation of the example in the previous section, if we select the '''Startup Left#1 swimlane level cell''' and the '''Phase II Left#1 swimlane level cell''' for our example, the selected '''Left#1 swimlane level cells''' look like this:
+'''Edits''' made in the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab are applied to all selected '''rows'''.  Using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''is effective in selecting '''rows''' when done in either of the '''two text columns''' shown in the illustration above.

+====SHIFT+Left-Click Method Used to Select Multiple Sequential Rows ====
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(8)-08072020.png</center>-->
-Above, the selection of the '''two swimlanes''' is made in the '''Left#1 swimlane level cells'''.  Both the selected '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are different so the '''merged Left#1 '''and''' Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' depends on the '''modal number of rows''' in the two selected sets of '''swimlane level cells'''.  '''Four rows''' for the '''Startup/Planning Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cells''' and '''two rows''' for the '''Phase II/Development Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cells'''.
+Use '''SHIFT+Left-Click''' method to select a sequence of '''rows '''for '''editing''' with the '''Row/Column Properties''' form as shown here:
-Continuing the process of accessing the '''swimlane level right-click context menu''' by right-clicking in one of the selected '''Left#1 swimlane level cells''' (perhaps the '''Phase II Left#1 swimlane level cell’s label''') and clicking the '''Merge swimlanes''' command, produces this result:

+'''Edits''' made in the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab are applied to all selected '''rows'''.
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(9)-08072020.png</center>-->
-As shown above, the '''six rows''' are '''merged''' into '''one swimlane level cell''' at the '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane levels''' and the respective '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are taken from the '''swimlane level cell labels''' containing the '''modal number of rows'''.  The '''new merged swimlane level cell''' is '''positioned''' in the chart as close to its '''original position''' as possible and the '''rows''' within the '''merged swimlane level cell''' retain their original '''ordering'''.  This being the case, OnePager places the intervening, non-participating '''Phase I/Development Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cell''' at the top of the chart.
+====Using Slow Left-Click and CTL+Left-Click Methods to Select Multiple Individual Text Column Cells ====
-===Merging Swimlane from the Left#2 Swimlane Level Cells – Two Swimlane Level Chart===
+Use the '''slow left-click''' method in conjunction with the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method to select '''individual text column cells''' in the '''same or different''' '''text column'''.  The method involves first getting the mouse device into the '''slow left-click mode''' and then using the '''CTL+Left-Click '''method to select the desired '''individual text column  cells''' as shown below:
-If we change the above example and make the same selections but use the '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''', the selected '''swimlanes''' look like this:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(12)-08142020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(12)-08142020.png</center>-->
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(10)-08092020.png]]</center>
+The illustration above purposely shows '''text column cells''' selected with the '''slow left-click''' method in both the '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 text columns'''. Note that the '''text column number''' showing the '''Text Column''' control group '''heading''' of the above form indicates that the '''Left#1 Cell Properties''' are the '''primary focus''' of the form. This is because in the illustration above, the right-click used to access the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu''' is made in the '''last Left#1 text column cell'''. Although you can select '''text column cells''' in '''any text column defined''' and '''showing''' in the chart, the '''edits '''only apply to those '''text column cells''' in the '''text column number''' showing in the form.
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(10)-08072020.png</center>-->
-In the example above, the '''two swimlanes''' are selected from the '''Left#2 swimlane level cells'''.  As in the previous sub-section, both the selected '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are different so the '''merged Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' depends on the '''modal number of rows''' in the two selected sets of '''swimlane level cells'''.  '''Four rows''' for the '''Startup/Planning Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cells''' and '''two rows''' for the '''Phase II/Development Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cells'''.
+Once the '''several individual text column cells''' are selected, as shown above, a right-click in the '''last Left#1 selected text column cell''' accesses the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu'''.  Clicking the '''Properties …''' command accesses the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Cell''' tab for the '''Left#1 Cell Properties''' where any '''edits''' that are made to the controls at the '''Cell''' tab apply to all selected '''individual Left#1 text column cells'''.
-Continuing the process of accessing the '''swimlane level '''right-click''' context menu''' by right-clicking in one of the selected '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' (perhaps the '''Development Left#2 swimlane level cell’s label''') and clicking the '''Merge swimlanes''' command, produces this result:
+For example, we can change the '''Cell Background Color''' to '''red''' for the selected '''individual Left#1 text column cells''' by using the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form as shown below:
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(9)-08092020.png]]</center>

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(13)-08142020.png</center>-->
-As shown above, the '''six rows''' are '''merged''' into '''one swimlane level cell''' at the '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane levels''' and the respective '''Left#1''' and '''Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are taken from the '''swimlane level cell labels''' containing the '''modal number of rows'''.  The '''new merged swimlane level cell''' is '''positioned''' in the chart as close to its '''original position''' as possible and the '''rows''' within the '''merged swimlane level cell''' retain their original '''ordering'''.  This being the case, OnePager places the intervening, non-participating '''Phase I/Development Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cell''' at the top of the chart.
+As specified, all selected '''rows''' have their '''text column cells edited''' such that their '''Cell Background Color''' is '''red'''.  After closing the '''Row/Column Properties''' form, the chart looks like this:
-===Merging Swimlane with Equal Number of Rows – Two Swimlane Level Chart===

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(13A)-08142020.png</center>-->
-The two sets of examples in the two sub-sections above established that selecting '''two or more Left#1 or Left#2  swimlane level cells''' does not depend on which '''swimlane level cells''' ('''Left#1''' or '''Left#2''') are selected.  Additionally, the concept of '''modal number of rows''' governing the resulting '''merged swimlane level cell’s labels''' was also demonstrated.
+====Using Slow Left-Click and SHIFT+Left-Click Methods to Select a Sequence of Text Column Cells ====
-This sub-section shows the results when '''swimlane level cells''' are selected that have an '''equal number of rows''' and how this determines the '''merged swimlane level cell’s labels'''.
+Use the '''slow left-click''' method in conjunction with the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''method to access a '''sequence of text column cells''' in the '''same text column'''.  The method involves first getting the mouse device into the '''slow left-click mode''' and then using the '''SHIFT+Left-Click '''method to select the desired '''sequence of text column cells''' as shown below:
-Since selecting in either the '''Left#1 or Left#2 swimlane level cells''' is moot, so we’ll select '''two swimlane level cells''' with '''equal number of rows''' form the '''Left#2 swimlane level''' as shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(14)-08142020.png]]</center>

-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(11)-08092020.png]]</center>
+Once the '''sequence of text column cells''' are selected, as shown above, a right-click in the '''last selected text column cell''' accesses the '''text column''' right-click '''context menu'''.  Clicking the '''Properties …''' command accesses the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Cell''' tab for the '''Left#1 Cell Properties''' where any '''edits''' that are made to the controls at the '''Cell''' tab apply to all selected '''individual Left#1 text column cells'''.
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(11)-08092020.png</center>-->
-Continuing the process of accessing the '''swimlane level right-click context menu''' by right-clicking in one of the selected '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' (perhaps the '''Integration & Testing Left#2 swimlane level cell’s label''') and clicking the '''Merge swimlanes''' command, produces this result:
+For this example, we can change the '''Cell Background Color''' to '''red''' for the selected '''sequence of Left#1 text column cells''' by using the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form as shown below:
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(12)-08092020.png]]</center>

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(15)-08142020.png</center>-->
-As shown above, the '''eight rows''' are '''merged''' into '''one swimlane level cell''' at the '''Left#1 '''and''' Left#2 swimlane levels''' and the respective '''Left#1 '''and''' Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are taken from the '''swimlane level cell labels''' containing the '''same number of rows'''.  The '''new merged swimlane level cell''' is '''positioned''' at the bottom of the chart in this case, and the '''ordering''' of '''rows''' is retained within the original '''swimlane level cell’s''' configuration.  OnePager places the intervening, non-participating '''(Phase I/Phase II)/Development Left#1/Left#2 swimlane level cells''' at the top of the chart.
+==Editing Row Properties with the Row/Column Properties Form’s Row Tab==
-The choices for the '''merged Left#1 '''and''' Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are made by OnePager at '''random '''since the participating '''original swimlane level cells''' both have an '''equal number of rows''' and there is no establish '''mode'''.  As mentioned earlier in this article, OnePager assumes that after '''swimlane level cells''' are '''merged''' that actions will subsequently be taken to '''editing the merged swimlane level cell’s labels''', '''move''' the '''merged swimlane level cells''' to a different '''position''' in the chart, or do some other form of '''row''' or '''swimlane level editing'''.

-<!--<center>P70-12_18_1-(14)-08032020.png</center>-->
-If you’ve followed along through the discussions involving configurations of '''one''' and '''two swimlane levels''' in the chart, you can rightly suspect that the various combinations involving '''three swimlane levels''' with selected '''swimlanes''' follows a recurring pattern.

+In the illustration that follows, we’ll '''maverick row borders''' as follows:
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(16)-08092020.png]]</center>
+:* The '''row''' with the '''Create Working Plans''' task bar is updated so its '''bottom border''' is turned '''ON''' with '''line size 2.0''', '''Color Black''', '''Dash type – Dot'''.
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(16)-08092020.png</center>-->
+:* The '''row''' with the '''Engineering Team 1 Development''' task bar is updated so its '''top border''' is turned '''ON''' with '''line size 3.0''', '''Color Red''', and '''Dash type – Dash-dot-dot'''.
+:* The '''row''' with the '''Engineering Team 1 Rework''' is updated so that its '''top '''and''' bottom borders''' are turned '''ON''' with '''line size 3.5''', '''Color Blue''', and '''Dash type – Solid'''.
-In the example above, the '''two swimlanes''' are selected from the '''Left#3 swimlane level cells'''.
+When these '''maverick''' changes are '''applied''' to the individual elements mentioned above using the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab, the chart is modified to look like this:
-As in the previous sub-section, as expected, both the selected '''Left#1, Left#2, '''and''' Left#3 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are different so the '''merged Left#1, Left#2, '''and''' Left#3 swimlane level cell’s labels''' depends on the '''modal number of rows''' in the two selected sets of '''swimlane level cells'''.  '''Four rows''' for the '''Startup/Planning/Prime Left#1/Left#2/Left#3 swimlane level cells''' and '''two rows''' for the '''Phase II/Development/Team 2 Left#1/Left#2/Left#3 swimlane level cells'''.

+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(17)-08172020.png</center>-->
-Continuing the process of accessing the '''swimlane level right-click context menu''' by right-clicking in one of the selected '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' (perhaps the '''Team 2 Left#3 swimlane level cell’s label''') and clicking '''the Merge swimlanes''' command, produces this result:
+===Manually Editing Row Background Colors with the Row/Column Properties form’s Rows Tab===
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(14)-08092020.png]]</center>
+The standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form is used the change the '''background color''' of the selected '''row''' or '''rows'''.  Recall that with '''text columns''' in the chart, changing the '''background color''' for a '''Left#1 text column cell''' propagates the '''color''' change to the '''Left#2''' '''text column cells''' (if present) and into the '''row''' itself as shown in the sequence below:
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(14)-08092020.png</center>-->
-As shown above, the '''six rows''' are '''merged''' into '''one swimlane level cell''' at the '''Left#1, Left#2, '''and''' Left#3 swimlane levels''' and the respective '''Left#1, Left#2, '''and''' Left#3 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are taken from the '''swimlane level cell labels''' containing the '''modal number of rows'''.  The '''new merged swimlane level cell''' is '''positioned''' in the chart as close to its '''original position''' as possible and the '''rows''' within the '''merged swimlane level cell''' retain their original '''ordering'''.  This being the case, OnePager places the intervening, non-participating '''Phase I/Development/Team 1 Left#1/Left#2/Left#3 swimlane level cell''' at the top of the chart.
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(18)-08172020.png]]</center>

-===Merging Swimlane with Equal Number of Rows – Three Swimlane Level Chart===
+When the '''OK''' button is clicked on the '''Row/Column Properties''' form, the configuration of the chart is changed to this:
-The three sets of examples in the three sub-sections above established that selecting '''two or more Left#1 or Left#2 or Left#3  swimlane level cells''' does not depend on which '''swimlane level cells''' ('''Left#1''' or '''Left#2 '''or '''Left#3''') are selected.  Additionally, the concept of '''modal number of rows''' governing the resulting '''merged swimlane level cell’s labels''' was also demonstrated.
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(19)-08172020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(19)-08172020.png</center>-->
-This sub-section shows the results when '''swimlane level cells''' are selected that have an '''equal number of rows''' and how this determines the '''merged swimlane level cell’s labels'''.
+When the selected '''row''' is '''de-selected''', the chart looks like this:
-Since selecting in either the '''Left#1, Left#2, '''or '''Left#3 swimlane level cells''' is moot, we’ll select '''two swimlane level cells''' with '''equal number of rows''' form the '''Left#2 swimlane level''' as shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(20)-08172020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(20)-08172020.png</center>-->
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(17)-08092020.png]]</center>
+===Manually Editing Text Column’s Background Colors with the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab===
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(17)-08092020.png</center>-->
-Continuing the process of accessing the '''swimlane level right-click context menu''' by right-clicking in one of the selected '''Left#2 swimlane level cells''' (perhaps the '''Integration & Testing Left#2 swimlane level cell’s label''') and clicking '''the Merge swimlanes''' command, produces this result:
+Using the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Row''' tab’s '''Row Background Color''' control, changes the entire '''row''' to the '''new row background color'''.  If you want to select a '''Left#1 text column cell''' and change just the '''Left#1 text column cell’s background color''' you must access the '''Row/Column Properties''' form at the '''Cell''' tab.  This can be done by using the '''slow left-click''' selection method to just select the '''Left#1 text column cell''' or use a standard selection method on the '''Left#1 text column cell''' to access the '''Row/Column Properties''' form at the '''Row''' tab and simply click the '''Cell''' tab as shown below:
-<center>[[File:P70-12_21_1-(18)-08092020.png]]</center>
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(21)-08172020.png]]</center>
-<!--<center>P70-12_21_1-(18)-08092020.png</center>-->
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(21)-08172020.png</center>-->
-As shown above, the '''eight rows''' are '''merged''' into '''one swimlane level cell''' at the '''Left#1, Left#2, '''and''' Left#3 swimlane levels''' and the respective '''Left#1, Left#2, '''and '''Left#3 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are taken from the '''swimlane level cell labels''' containing the '''same number of rows'''.  The '''new merged swimlane level cell''' is '''positioned''' at the bottom of the chart in this case, and the '''ordering''' of '''rows''' is retained within the original '''swimlane level cell’s''' configuration.
+When the '''OK''' button on the '''Row/Column Properties''' form is clicked and the '''Left#1 text column cell''' is '''de-selected''', the chart looks like this:
-OnePager places the intervening, non-participating ('''Phase I/Phase II)/Development/(Team 1/Team2) Left#1/Left#2/Left#3 swimlane level cells''' at the top of the chart.  The choices for the '''merged Left#1 '''and''' Left#2 swimlane level cell’s labels''' are made by OnePager at '''random '''since the participating '''original swimlane level cells''' both have an '''equal number of rows''' and there is no establish '''mode'''.
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(22)-08172020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(22)-08172020.png</center>-->
-'''Note''' carefully that in the bottom set of selected '''swimlane level cells '''in the original chart at the '''Left#3 swimlane level''' consist of '''three swimlanes''' with '''three different Left#3 swimlane level cell labels – Prime, Subcontractor A,''' and '''Subcontractor B'''.  In the illustration above with the '''merged swimlane level cells''', OnePager selected '''Prime''' for the '''Left#3 swimlane level cell’s label''' because the '''original Prime Left#3 swimlane level cell''' has '''two rows''' while the '''Subcontractor A '''and''' B Left#3 swimlane level cells''' have only '''one row''' each.   OnePager, as expected, selected '''Prime''' for the '''merged Left#3 swimlane level cell’s label''' because '''Prime''' is the '''model label'''.
+The procedure for changing the '''properties''' of the chart portion of the '''swimlane''' (i.e., to the right of the '''text columns''') is explained in the '''Editing Swimlane Properties''' article at: [[Editing Swimlane Properties for Version 7.0 | Editing Swimlane Properties]] <!--12.23.1-70-->
-As mentioned earlier in this article, OnePager assumes that after '''swimlane level cells''' are '''merged''' that actions will subsequently be taken to '''editing the merged swimlane level cell’s labels''', '''move''' the '''merged swimlane level cells''' to a different '''position''' in the chart, or do some other form of '''row''' or '''swimlane level editing'''.
+===The Use Default Row Properties Button in the Row/Column Properties form’s Row Tab===
+The purpose of the '''Use Default Row Properties''' button is to '''restore''' the selected '''row''' or '''row’s properties''' to the settings in the current '''Chart Properties''' form or '''Template Properties''' form.  This is done by first selecting the '''row''' or '''rows''' that you want to '''restore''', accessing the '''Row/Column Properties''' form at the '''Row tab''' and clicking the '''Use Default Row Properties''' button.
+'''Note''' that the '''Use Default Row Properties''' button is '''enabled''' whenever a change is made to a '''row '''or''' row’s properties'''.  As an example, suppose we start with the chart configuration where we '''mavericked''' a '''row''' by giving it a '''background color''' of '''red''' as shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(20)-08172020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(20)-08172020.png</center>-->
+If we now select one of the '''row’s text column cells''' and access the '''Row/Column Properties''' form the chart shows the illustration below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(23)-08172020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(23)-08172020.png</center>-->
+When the '''Use Default Row Properties''' form is clicked and the form is '''closed''' by clicking the '''OK''' button, the chart’s configuration changes to that shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(24)-08172020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(24)-08172020.png</center>-->
+==Editing Text Column Cell Properties with the Row/Column Properties Form’s Cell Tab==
+The '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Cell''' tab looks like this:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(8)-08142020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(8)-08142020.png </center>-->
+The '''properties''' that can be '''edited''' in this tab include:
+:* The '''text''' within the selected '''text column cell''',
+:* The '''text’s font properties''',
+:* The '''horizontal '''and''' vertical alignment''' of the '''text''' within the '''text column cell '''or '''cells''',
+:* The '''cell’s background color''',
+:* And the '''rotation''' of the '''text column cell’s text'''.
+Additionally, there is a '''Use Default Cell Properties''' button that can be used to '''restore''' any '''mavericked text column cell’s properties''' back to the '''global settings''' in the '''Chart Properties''' or '''Template Properties''' forms.   Several of these controls such as the '''Text''' window, the '''Font''' control dropdown that accesses the '''Font properties''' form, and the two sets of three '''Alignment '''buttons are standard within OnePager.  These controls perform the same '''editing functions''' as when used for '''editing''' the '''properties of text elements''' for graphic objects such as '''task bars/milestone symbols''', '''comment boxes''', '''time axis level cells''', and '''vertical curtains'''.
+Extensive examples are not provided here for the above mentioned controls.
+Please reference the links in the '''related links '''section at: [[Editing Row Properties for Version 7.0#Related Links | Related Links]] <!--12.22.1-70-->
+Rather, the remaining focus in this sub-section is on the '''Cell Background Color''' control, the '''Text Rotation''' control, and the '''Use Default Cell Properties''' button.
+===Manually Editing Text Column Cell Background Colors with the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab===
+'''Manually editing''' a selected '''text column cell''' or '''cells''' for '''background color''' requires that the '''text column cell''' or '''cells '''be individually selected with one of the appropriate '''cell '''selection methods.  When the '''text column cell''' or '''cells''' are selected and the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Cell''' tab is accessed, then the standard OnePager '''Color Chooser''' form can be accessed by clicking on the '''Cell Background Color''' dropdown as shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(25)-08182020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(25)-08182020.png</center>-->
+When the '''OK''' button on the '''Row/Column Properties''' form is clicked, the three selected '''Left#1 text column cells''' are reconfigured as shown here:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(26)-08182020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(26)-08182020.png</center>-->
+Recall that '''text column cell''' '''mavericking''' can only be done in the '''same text column''' so that selecting '''cells '''in '''different text columns '''to change their '''background colors''' for must be done on '''an individual text column''' basis.
+===Manually Editing Text Column Cell’s Text Rotation with the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab===
+The '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Cell''' tab’s '''Text Rotation''' control provides '''three different orientation''' of '''text''' contained within a selected '''text column cell''' or '''cells'''.  You have the option to '''rotate text column cell text horizontally''' (the typical '''default''' setting), '''rotate text column cell text 90 degrees clockwise''', and '''rotate text column cell text 270 degrees clockwise'''.  The dropdown list for the '''Text Rotation''' control in the '''Row/Column Properties''' form’s '''Cell''' tab looks like this:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(27)-08182020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(27)-08182020.png</center>-->
+As an example, we can '''rotate the text''' '''90 degrees''' in the '''Left#1 text column cell '''in the '''row''' containing the '''Create Work Plans '''task bar''' '''to get the configuration of '''text''' within the '''cell''' shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(28)-08182020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(28)-08182020.png</center>-->
+In the illustration above, the '''height of the row''' is '''increased''' to show the '''rotated text''' as a single string.
+'''Text column cell text rotation''' is sometimes useful in order to help decrease the '''width''' of a''' text column '''and allow more '''horizontal space''' for the chart itself.
+===The Use Default Cell Properties Button in the Row/Column Properties form’s Cell Tab===
+The purpose of the '''Use Default Cell Properties''' button is to '''restore''' the selected '''text column cell''' or '''cell’s properties''' to the settings in the current '''Chart Properties''' form or '''Template Properties''' form.  This is done by first selecting the '''text column cell''' or '''cells''' that you want to '''restore''', accessing the '''Row/Column Properties''' form at the '''Cell tab''', and clicking the '''Use Default Cell Properties''' button.  '''Note''' that the '''Use Default Cell Properties''' button is '''enabled''' whenever a change is made to a '''text column cell '''or''' cell’s properties''' at a '''cell level'''.
+As an example, suppose we start with the chart configuration where we '''mavericked''' the '''Left#1 text column cell''' to have a '''background color''' of '''red''' as shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(29)-08182020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(29)-08182020.png</center>-->
+If we now select this '''Left#1 text column cell''' and access the '''Row/Column Properties''' form at the '''Cell '''tab, the chart shows the illustration below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(30)-08182020.png]]</center>
+<!--<center>P70-12_22_1-(30)-08182020.png</center>-->
+When the '''Use Default Cell Properties''' form is clicked and the form is '''closed''' by clicking the '''OK''' button, the chart’s configuration changes to that shown below:
+<center>[[File:P70-12_22_1-(31)-08182020.png]]</center>
