==Introduction to the OnePager Task Links==
+
==About the Main Tab==
  
−
OnePager Pro and Express always supported the creation and showing of '''Task Links''' (previously called '''Event Links''').  The process for creating and editing '''Event Links''' was limited and totally manual. What was not previously possible was the capability to '''import Predecessors '''data from your Microsoft Project or Excel '''source plan '''and have OnePager produce a chart with these '''dependencies '''graphically displayed. The two illustrations below show a simple Microsoft Project '''source plan '''with '''Predecessors '''data and the OnePager Pro chart created with the corresponding '''Task Links''':
+
The '''Chart Properties''' '''Main''' tab page, shown below, lets you set the most general '''properties''' of a chart.

+
  
−
There are two sets of tables below contain links to detailed information on '''importing''', '''managing''', and '''editing''' '''Task Links''': [[Linking Task and Milestones Using Manual and Data-Driven Task Links for Version 7.0#Links to All Detailed Task Link Articles | Links to All Detailed Task Link Articles]] <!--19.0.1-70-->
+
===Main Control Group===
  
−
==Overview==
+
====Title====
  
−
With OnePager Pro and Express you have the following enhanced capabilities.
+
The '''Title''' is the name of the chart that appears above the '''graph area'''. The information for the '''Title''' is taken from the '''OnePager choices''' form's '''Title of  New Chart''' type in window  as shown below:
  
−
===Imported Task Link Data from Source Plans===
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_1_1-70-(2)-10132020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-21_1_1-70-(2)-10132020.png</center>-->
  
−
'''Task Link''' information can be '''imported''' from both Microsoft Project and Microsoft Excel '''source plans '''and made available for display and '''editing''' in the chart. '''Task Links''' imported from '''source plans''' are called '''Data-driven Task Links'''. When discussing '''Data-driven Task Link imported''' from Microsoft Project, the capability is also supported to import '''Data-driven Task Links''' from Microsoft Project Server and Microsoft Project Online.
+
For more information on the '''OnePager choices''' form, please see the article at: [[Getting Started with Version 7.0 (Portal) | Getting Started (Portal)]] <!--3.0.1-70-->
  
−
===Task Link Editing===
+
====Author====
  
−
'''Task Link''' '''editing''' capabilities are expanded so that you have a greater variety of options for formatting '''Task Link''' '''arrow shapes''', '''arrow''' '''sizes''', '''connection line''' options, '''connection line corner radii''', '''Task Link Dependency Types''', and '''Vertical and Horizontal Anchor points '''on task/milestone shapes. '''Manual editing''' capabilities are also enhanced so you can perform '''drag and drop''' operations and '''edit''' the''' properties''' of any and all '''Task Links '''using enhanced '''Task Link''' formatting options.  
+
The '''Author''' window is intended to hold the name of the person that appears in a '''Header or Hooter''' entry in the chart if desired.  The '''default Author''' is '''Anonymous'''. To change the '''Author''' select the contents of the window and type in the desired '''Author's name'''.
  
−
Manual '''Task Links''' can be '''Daisy Chained''', that is, you can select more than two task bars/milestone symbols and create a series (i.e., '''daisy chain''') of manual '''Task Links''' connecting these task bars/milestone symbols. You have full control over '''Task Link '''formatting and which '''Task Links '''are '''shown''' or '''hidden''' in charts through the use of the new '''Task Links '''tabs on the '''Template''' and '''Chart Properties '''forms.  There are '''Filtering control''' over '''showing''' (or '''hiding''')''' Task Links''' provided in a new '''Task Links Filter Rules '''form.  In a similar fashion to how OnePager assists you to manage '''hidden tasks''', OnePager provides a '''Where Are My Links?''' form that lists '''Task Links '''specific to each snapshot and allows you to edit the '''show/hide status''' of any '''Task Link''' in a snapshot. You also have the capability to manually select a '''Task Link''' with a right-click and use '''task link''' right-click '''context menu''' to perform manual '''editing''' on the manual or '''Data-driven Task Link'''.  You can perform enhanced '''editing''' of manual '''Task Link properties''' with the enhanced '''Task Link Properties''' form.
+
====The Corner====
  
−
OnePager Express is enhanced such that you can '''import Dependency''' values on tasks from Microsoft Excel '''source plans''' where the '''syntax format selection''' for specifying '''predecessor''' relationships corresponds to the Microsoft Project standards or the '''syntax format selection''' used by Oracle’s Primavera P6.
+
'''The Corner''' refers to the sub-control group used to designate the use of the '''upper left''' and '''lower left corners''' of the chart.   The controls are shown below:
  
−
===Task Links Based On Predecessor Data===
+
<center>[[File:P70-21_1_1-70-(3)-10132020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-21_1_1-70-(3)-10132020.png</center>-->
  
−
OnePager Pro and Express are designed to process '''Task Links''' that are specified as '''Predecessors''' '''ONLY'''. Although OnePager does not import '''Successor '''data from your '''source plan''', '''successor '''information''' '''is the inverse on '''predecessor '''information found in your '''source plan'''. This approach guaranties that all your '''Data-driven''' '''Task Links''' are based on valid information from your Microsoft Project '''source plan'''.
+
The '''lower left corner''' of the chart becomes available when you specify that the '''Time Axis''' is to be displayed on the '''bottom''' of the chart. These '''corners''' can be used to show the '''row/swimlane''' headings (e.g., '''text columns''' and '''swimlane level labels'''), the '''time axis''' unit '''labels''', or neither.
  
−
===Template Properties and Chart Properties Forms and Task Links===
+
For more information, please see these two articles: [[Labeling the Corner for OnePager Pro for Version 7.0 | Labeling the Corner for OnePager Pro]] <!--22.2.3-70--> and [[Labeling the Corner for OnePager Express for Version 7.0 | Labeling the Corner for OnePager Express]] <!--22.2.4-70-->
  
−
The '''Template Properties''' forms distributed with OnePager Pro and Express contain an enhanced '''Task Links''' tab with basic settings that can be tailored as needed. As with all '''Chart Properties''' tabs, the '''Task Links''' tab takes on the '''properties''' for '''Task Links''' based on the '''properties''' in the current '''Template Properties''' form. The '''properties''' in the '''Chart Properties''' form's '''Task Link''' tab can be '''edited''' at any time. Additionally, both '''Data-Driven''' and manual '''Task Links''' can be '''selected''' in the chart and '''edited''' individually.
+
===Colors Control Group===
  
−
==Links to All Detailed Task Link Articles==
+
The '''Color''' control group has three sub-groups:
  
−
Please use the Wiki article links below to access detailed information on the '''Data-driven Task Links''' feature and the enhancements made to manual '''Task Links''' in OnePager.  The articles in the top set of links below provide you with an '''overview''' to the new '''Data-driven Task Link''' feature and the enhancements made to the existing manual '''Task Link''' capabilities. The articles in the bottom set of links below provide detailed information on the '''importation''', '''management''', and '''editing''' of both '''Data-Driven Task Links''' and manual '''Task Links'''.

:* For setting the default '''Palette''' used in the chart.
 +
:* For establishing the '''properties''' of the '''Chart Background'''
 +
:* For establishing the '''properties''' of the chart's '''Borders, frames, and the time-cursor'''.
 +
 
 +
====Color Palettes====
 +
 
 +
In the '''Palettes''' sub-control group, the '''Default palette:''' control allows you to set the default '''color''' from a dropdown list as shown below.

 +
 
 +
====Chart Background====
 +
 
 +
=====Color 1 and Color 2=====
 +
 
 +
This control group, shown below, allows you to manage the chart's '''background colors''' and create various '''"zebra" striping''' highlights.
 +
 
 +
<center>[[File:P70-21_1_1-70-(8)-10132020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-21_1_1-70-(8)-10132020.png</center>-->
 +
 
 +
To show a '''phasing or transition''' of '''color''' across the '''background''', choose two colors to '''blend''' and choose the '''blending direction'''.  Alternatively, you can choose to have a '''single-color background''' by setting '''Color 1''' and '''Color 2''' to the same '''color''' selection. Additionally, this group allows '''Zebra-striping''' of '''rows and swimlane levels'''.

=====Chart Fill Pattern=====
 +
 +
The '''Color fill pattern''' dropdown list provides the means for using '''Color 1''' and/or '''Color 2''' to create the desired '''flow of color''' within the '''graph area'''. There are up to nine (9) '''Color fill pattern''' options to select from as shown below:
 +
 +
<center>[[File:P70-21_1_1-70-(8A)-10132020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-21_1_1-70-(8A)-10132020.png</center>-->
 +
 +
The first five (5) options in the '''Color fill pattern''' list provide the means to use '''Color 1 and Color 2''' in various ways across the '''graph area'''.  The '''Row striping''' option uses '''Color 1 and Color 2''' alternately from the bottom of the chart to the top to create '''row zebra striping''' as discussed above.  The three '''swimlane stripes''' options for the '''Left#1''', '''Left#2''', and '''Left#3''' '''swimlane levels''' also use '''Color 1 and Color 2''' alternately from the bottom of the chart to the top to create '''swimlane level zebra striping''' as described above.
 +
 +
For more information on '''Multiple Swimlane Levels''', please see the articles at:  [[Creating and Editing Rows and Swimlanes for Version 7.0 (Portal) | Creating and Editing Rows and Swimlanes (Portal)]] <!--12.0.1-70-->
 +
 +
====Borders, Frame, and Time-cursor Properties====
 +
 +
=====Set Line Properties Form=====
 +
 +
Clicking this button accesses the '''Set line properties''' form that lets you customize the '''border properties''' of various lines for:
 +
 +
:* '''The Time Cursor''' and
 +
:* The '''Inner and Outer''' Frames (the rectangles that surround the '''graph''').
 +
 +
The form has three (3) tabs as shown below:
 +
 +
<center>[[File:P70-21_1_1-70-(9)-10132020.png]]</center>
 +
<!--<center>P70-21_1_1-70-(9)-10132020.png</center>-->
 +
 +
The '''Time cursor''', '''Inner Frame''', and '''Outer Frame''' tabs have just the '''Line color''', '''Line width''', '''Dash type''' controls. The '''Set line properties''' form only '''sets the properties''' of these specific '''graphic elements'''. 
 +
 +
<!--Although the '''Outer''' and '''Inner Frames''' are displayed, it is necessary to manually turn '''ON''' the specific controls for '''Swimlane Borders''' and '''Row Borders''' as well as turn '''ON''' the '''Time Cursor'''.  To turn '''ON''' the '''Row Borders''' and '''Swimlane Borders''', you need to go to the '''Chart Properties''' form '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab where these '''ON''' and '''OFF''' controls reside. 
 +
 +
To manage other types of borders such as '''Swimlane Borders''' and '''Row Borders''', use the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab instead.  For more information on the '''Rows/Swimlanes''' tab, please see the article at: [[Rows/Swimlane Tab for Version 7.0 | Rows/Swimlane Tab]] <!--21.2.1-70-->
 +

About the Main Tab

The Chart Properties Main tab page, shown below, lets you set the most general properties of a chart.

P70-21 1 1-70-(1-1)-10132020.png

Each of these properties is discussed below organized by control group.

Main Control Group

Title

The Title is the name of the chart that appears above the graph area. The information for the Title is taken from the OnePager choices form's Title of New Chart type in window as shown below:

P70-21 1 1-70-(2)-10132020.png

For more information on the OnePager choices form, please see the article at: Getting Started (Portal)

Author

The Author window is intended to hold the name of the person that appears in a Header or Hooter entry in the chart if desired. The default Author is Anonymous. To change the Author select the contents of the window and type in the desired Author's name.

The Corner

The Corner refers to the sub-control group used to designate the use of the upper left and lower left corners of the chart. The controls are shown below:

P70-21 1 1-70-(3)-10132020.png

The lower left corner of the chart becomes available when you specify that the Time Axis is to be displayed on the bottom of the chart. These corners can be used to show the row/swimlane headings (e.g., text columns and swimlane level labels), the time axis unit labels, or neither.

For more information, please see these two articles: Labeling the Corner for OnePager Pro and Labeling the Corner for OnePager Express

Colors Control Group

The Color control group has three sub-groups:

  • For setting the default Palette used in the chart.
  • For establishing the properties of the Chart Background
  • For establishing the properties of the chart's Borders, frames, and the time-cursor.

Color Palettes

In the Palettes sub-control group, the Default palette: control allows you to set the default color from a dropdown list as shown below.

P70-21 1 1-70-(4)-10132020.png

OnePager provides a wide variety of color palettes. You can add more palettes, change palettes, or delete unwanted palettes. Clicking the Edit color palettes... button accesses the Palette Editor form shown below:

P70-21 1 1-70-(5)-10132020.png

This Palette Editor form allows you to edit a particular color palette. The File button on the form provides additional palette manipulation functions as shown below:

P70-21 1 1-70-(6)-10292019.png
<P70-21_1_1-70-(6)-10292019.png>

The Edit button provides controls for manipulating the colors in the palette as shown below:

P70-21 1 1-70-(7)-10292019.png
<P70-21_1_1-70-(7)-10292019.png>

For more information on the management and use of color and color palettes, please see the article at: Creating and Saving Color Palettes

Chart Background

Color 1 and Color 2

This control group, shown below, allows you to manage the chart's background colors and create various "zebra" striping highlights.

P70-21 1 1-70-(8)-10132020.png

To show a phasing or transition of color across the background, choose two colors to blend and choose the blending direction. Alternatively, you can choose to have a single-color background by setting Color 1 and Color 2 to the same color selection.

P70-21 1 1-70-(8A)-10132020.png

The first five (5) options in the Color fill pattern list provide the means to use Color 1 and Color 2 in various ways across the graph area. The Row striping option uses Color 1 and Color 2 alternately from the bottom of the chart to the top to create row zebra striping as discussed above. The three swimlane stripes options for the Left#1, Left#2, and Left#3 swimlane levels also use Color 1 and Color 2 alternately from the bottom of the chart to the top to create swimlane level zebra striping as described above.
